Repairing White Bioloid

Filed under: Daily — profmason @ 3:06 pm

Symptoms:

All servos work normally but when commands are sent rapidly to the robot, the system stutters as if there is an accumulated delay associated with each additional servo.

Solution:

Reflash the servos with the most current firmware:

  1. Open Roboplus
  2. Plug in a USB>Dynamixel
  3. Connect the servos to the USB->Dynamixel
  4. Connect the servos to power (Could be from CM5 with default firmware)
  5. Open Dynamixel Wizard
  6. Open the Port and connect to your USB>Dynamixel
  7. Start Search (If problems, make sure they have power, try them one at a time)
  8. After it finds the connected servos Click firmware update
  9. Update the servos.
  10. If you still have problems check the status return time (0) and the status return level (2) for each servo.
