Power Connect Plug

Received the developer kit today. It is not usable as is. The power connector plug will not go into the receptacle on the fuse base. The pin to inside diameter of the adaptor seems to be the problem. The supplied adaptor ID measures 2.14 mm. A similar plug with a 2.46 mm I.D. will fit. So take your pick either the pin is wrong or the adaptor is...

Would it be possable to add the ability to save the the...

I have to admit I have not tried the AutoPosition control. It's still a bit of a mystery to me but I plan on diving into it in a few days. I've been focused on building a 7 pound arm with 4 joints for my B9 Lost in Space robot. I've now got it working smoothly; twisting and turning and lifting the weight. The first "elbow joint" lifts all...
