I have build six as the builder shows and ran the servos outside of the mounting joints to ensure everything was set correctly. Six tends to do two things, one of the servos seems to love to hum very loudly when the robot stops moving. Making to robot move once stops it for a while. I have taken the servos out of the mounts and reran the "all servo 90" and the issues remains. Second one is the robot will not stay straight with walking. It walks in a big circle. confused
I had V create a new program for Six yesterday. He spent the day making Six walk much straighter. I made the default Six walk almost 2 years ago, without much attention to detail. V has fixed it in the next release of ARC today
Because we spent 2 years creating this product with software, electronics and physical hardware - we are now able to begin making apps and manuals for it. Long as you are continuing to update ARC, the apps are maturing with every release.
Today's release will include a more exciting dance for JD and straighter walking for Six.
Give me another few hours - I'm at the office now working on merging the projects. It's tough today, because it's the last day of sunshine outside... and i'm in here!
If you ask me, the Gimpy leg is either the front right(six's perspective) or middle right.
I will take the legs off and rerun the 90 diagnostics again and adjust any that need it.
His left side seems much stronger.... maybe swap some of the left servos for the right ones... Mix them up a bit... This might even out the gait... Another thing you can do is tweak the software to try and smooth out his movement... Remember, what works for one six may not work for another... Mostly due to manufacturing tolerances of the servos...
Took off all the legs off and adjust small adjustments to the toes that seemed to have a gap in them. I also reran the calibration check and needed to adjust a servo. Robot still prefers its circle over walking straight. I now have to manual adjust its path every other step. I will keep working with it.
I'm not sure if my replies are getting missed, but it might help this conversation if you read post #10
If you do not wish to wait until the next release, get the Six App from the EZ-Cloud AppStore - I just published it with straight walking and a new dance routine, new mobile interface, new actions, etc..
Of course, make sure you have the least ARC. Never ignore the annoying flashing red box when you load ARC telling you to upgrade
I have read your comment # 10 and downloaded the current ARC program. I have also taken the legs completely off and tested the full range of all the servos one at a time and rebuilt the legs by random selection of the servos to in theory create a better power match. still doing the circle
