I will be posting pictures of my build as soon as I get the robots head built. So far he has a Robosapien V2 upper body and my home made robot arms with 7 servos in each arm. I am writing a story called Micro Explorers. It is a story about very small robot explorers who come to Earth. They can combine to become larger robots. They can rebuild them selves at the microscopic level. As they learn more about us they become more human in acting and appearance. I did an edit and added his most current picture.

The error usually means that a value is larger than what is allowed (or smaller). It could also be that a servo is assigned a number that is larger or smaller than is allowed. I would reinstall ARC. If that doesn't fix it, DJ will have to address it in the code. I don't have a functioning robot at the moment Or I would try it. You could post your project and see if anyone else has an issue running the auto possitions with their ARC install.

If your using ax-12 servos, I don't know but maybe one of the servo id's got messed up. I don't use these so it is just a guess.

The problem was using regular servos and none of the numbers were too high or low, so I redid the poses that didn't work, got rid of the non working poses and then renamed the new poses the names they replaced. All kinds of fun, but it worked. I am also glad I found the tip to multiply all of the servo positions by 1.8 so they would work with the V4 board. I thought I had to redo every pose to the home position and then remake all of the poses. If I tried to just adjust each pose from where they were my robot would have broken his arms or something. Now I need to adjust the speed of every Action as they are now too slow. I had changed to more powerful servos in his left arm and needed to adjust some of his poses anyway. Dave now has his EZ-B V4 on his back and his new camera in his head. Dave can also move his eyes left and right now. His voice now comes from his EZ-B speaker now except when he tells a joke or the weather. I haven't figured that part out yet. Dave's servos are a bit too much for his rechargeable battery, so I need something with more mah. I might be selling an old robotic Elvis made by Wow Wee. He works great, I just don't have room for 2 of them. He comes with his remote and the song cartridge that came with him.

Been having fun with my MPU6050 gyro,accelerometer, temp sensor. Now I need to add it to my robot Dave. This thing works!

Dave has had some updates. Video soon I hope. I got a light sword from a dollar store and changed the single LED for a set of 5 and added my own push button switch to make a light saber for Dave. Looks like Dave needs a little work on his back before I make any new videos. Something came loose on the inside. Back problems already and he is still so young.

Dave is looking sharp. I picked up some of those light sabers from the dollar store too a while back. :)

Dave is looking great I love the legs can he walk. Also Yoda and R2-D2 are they robotic as well. Looking forward to the video.

PS I hope you have Workmen's Comp. for Dave which I never knew robots could get back problems lol:D

Dave won't be walking for a while. His legs are not motorized yet. I also need to get him to ballance. He does have a gyro now.
