Resolved by Athena AI!
, I have a question regarding the Kinect Body Control skill in Synthiam ARC. With the Auto Position skill, we can create frames and record them to form gestures like waving or bowing. Can we achieve similar functionality with the Kinect Body Control skill, specifically in terms of recording movements and saving them for later use?
Additionally, the skill description mentions the use of 6 servos for the upper body. Are we limited to controlling only 6 servos with this skill? If so, is it possible to reassign servos intended for the lower body to be used for the upper body instead?
Thank you for your assistance!

Kinect Body Control
The Kinect Body Control skill in Synthiam ARC is designed to control your robot's servos by detecting your body movements using a Microsoft XBOX 360 Kinect. However, it does not have built-in functionality to record movements and save them for later use, like the Auto Position skill does. The Auto Position skill is specifically designed for creating and saving servo animations, which can be replayed as gestures.
Regarding the number of servos, the Kinect Body Control skill allows you to control six servos for the upper body and six for the lower body. If you want to use more than six servos for the upper body, you can indeed reassign servos intended for the lower body to be used for the upper body instead. This can be done by configuring the servo ports in the skill's settings.
Here's how you can configure the servos:
Open the Kinect Body Control Configuration:
Reassign Servos:
Save the Configuration:
If you want to achieve recording and playback functionality similar to the Auto Position skill, you might consider using a combination of Kinect Body Control for real-time control and Auto Position for recording and replaying specific movements. You can manually create frames in the Auto Position skill based on the movements you perform with the Kinect Body Control.

You can add 127 servos per setting. That means each of the 6 servo options allows 127 servos per option. This is done using the advanced button for each servo.

You can generate frames and actions in the Auto Position for custom actions - or use the recording robot skill.
thats answered my question, thanks
