I'm 3D-printing the parts to build the humanoid robot. I followed the instructions on building the robot but my own servos with metal gears run in wrong directions. For example, I told the robot to take a bow and the robot bows backwards instead of forwards. I thought that all servos MUST run in correct direction. Any suggestions?
Can you not just close everything down and reload ARC then download a fresh default JD sample project from the cloud? I have no problems with the JD sample project...
I started with a blank project. I placed 12 Horizontal servo controls in the project. I placed Auto Position with Movement Panel in the project. When I check on the icon that looks like a gear, a blank window came up and I tried to add an image of the humanoid robot but I can't find any image files. I tried turning the arms upside down in the T-pose and they appear to work properly but I'm not sure.
You should not have to add an image of JD. It should already be there... The Auto Position should be there as well... Are you sure you are downloading the JD sample project from the cloud?
See below...
If you want you can add your own image, but you will have to provide it... Most people use a picture of their actual robot...
How can I get an image of the JD? The JD sample project doesn't have an image of JD that I can use in other projects.
Get a picture off of here or the web somewhere?... I use a picture I took of my inMoov as a background for the movement panel...
Maybe that image is available somewhere? No sure maybe someone else knows...?
the image of JD comes from the design files - which means for a new project, simply use the MERGE button and select the JD project. Answer yes to import the 3d design.
If your new project doesn't include the 3d design, then you're not making a re-usable robot project.
For the next version of ARC software, please add "Invert Direction" checkbox to ALL servo controls. I found out that one brand of servos rotate in one direction and another brand of servos rotate in other direction. I already have servos that rotate in wrong direction and I don't have the money to buy new servos.
