Yes, I have.
There doesn't appear to be a phone number for Australia and the website focuses on the build. I don't want to burn it out in my ignorance.

Haha, sounds like a frustrating product. Maybe someone will chime in, but this is a support forum for the EZ-Robot products. Looks like you bought the wrong robot:D check that return policy!

Oh how frustrating. I just typed in the full cabling instructions, went to get a photo and lost the lot.

Ok here we go again. Looking from behind, the left leg motor has a red/yellow cable and plugs into LM/MG, the right leg motor cable is red/brown and connects to RM/MD. The plugs are different for each side so if they are arse about then you will have to take the feet off and swap the motors.

Both arms are wired the same, starting at the elbow servo, connect its long cable to the shoulder servo and the long cable from the shoulder to the rotator cuff servo and then that long cable plugs into socket 1. The right arm gets plugged into socket 3.

Starting at the top, plug the led eye cable into the top servo which then gets plugged into the neck servo which then plugs into socket 2 on the controller.

Plugs and sockets can only be plugged in the correct way so dont force anything. Have fun with your Meccanoid, I do.

I just received my EZ-B v4, so I will try it in my Meccanoid while I am 3d printing the JD parts. Just have to setup power requirements as the Meccanoid has a 6 volt supply.

Watch this space.

By the way, I would like to congratulate DJ Sures and team for an excellent product and concept.

Success! I got my Meccanoid working. When you switch it on it tells you which of it's servos are not connected properly. It's actually pretty fun for a beginner but I like the idea of putting a cooler head on it as was previously mentioned. The colour changing LEDs could be used behind new eyes. I think this would be do-able. Maybe some hand servos with raspberry pi too. I wish there was an option to change the dinky voice, though, to something more teutonic. LOL ;)

Rather than Raspberry Pi, why not try an EZ-B V4 in it. Thats what I am doing.
