I assembled the Robot Arm and set up the Raspberry Pi with a USB camera. In the command prompt on the Raspberry Pi, I was able to install all the listed applications without error, except for “sudo apt-get install libqtgui4” and “sudo apt-get install libqt4-test”. Instead, I in…

Hello @SonOfTron and welcome to the RobotShop community! Did you update the firmware on the servos? Did you calibrate the servos using LSS Config / FlowArm? Please make sure you set the correct baud rate, all servos should be set to 115200. Is the board updated in the interfac…

Hello geraldinebc15, I did confirm using LSS Config that all 5 servo baud rates are set to 115200. The robot arm’s lights are all blue and the chess board is updated in the interface after I make the first move and tap the clock. When I try to update the Firmware using LSS Con…

Can you try a simple firmware update for ONE of the servos you have to verify it’s working correctly? Might want to verify that the LSS Config properly detects all servos and shows the correct IDs and baud rates.

It seems the update to the new Lynxmotion site may have broken the link between the LSS Config and the file location for the firmware updates We’re looking into it ASAP and will get back to you as soon as we have news.

Also, do you know roughly the date when the Lynxmotion site was updated?

It was just updated so as you have already written, you should have options in the drop-down now. If you purchased the servos fairly recently, they likely have the latest firmware (feel free to compare what’s already installed versus what’s available).The Lynxmotion corporate sit…

Hello cbendon, Thank you. The LSS Config software now allows me to update the firmware to version 3.7. I have updated the firmware on each servo individually, check to make sure each servo has an ID of 1 through 5, and that each servo baud rate is 115200. When I run the chess…

The only odd thing is that in the background command prompt, I see the message: “Warning FindElement should not be used to look up elements. window[key], window find_element are recommended”. As this is a just a warning it is most likely not the problem. Could you share with …

Hello cbenson,

Since the LSS Config givew the option for firmware updates from a local drive, is there a way to download the appropriate firmware files onto my computer and update that way?

Please advise.
