hello,
I assembled Lynxmotion L6 and trying to control through SSC 32.
I am using a 9v battery for VL supply and 4-1.5v battery in series for VS suppy.
all the survos are moving well through Lynxterm command, except the two shoulder servos(they are supposed to rotate together).
when i give the command to rotate, these two servos make a little noise as if something moving inside or operating. but they dont have power to move the shoulder.
1.)i dont know where is the problem or do i have to change the battery ?
or is there any option to reset all the motors?
because after connecting once it was rotated, at the time its path was hindered by me as i was unaware.
2.) there was a spring connected with the shoulder. Does it needed to connect the spring during arm motion to carry some load?
If so, it will likely not work. The batteries you are using may be able to provide the needed current to move the arm, but the wires and little springs on the connector will never. It’s like trying to drink a milkshake through a coffee stirrer.
You mentioned two shoulder servos. Did you set it up properly? The two servos must be either mechanically aligned, or aligned with custom servo pulses from a separate output (using RIOS.)
Can you post images of your wiring?
the red circled servos is not moving through Lynxterm commad. however i am going to change the VS supply with a 6V battery.
Plz give me you valuable comments.
thank you
The battery holder is one potential problem. It will supply enough current for a few servos that are under a small load, but when moving all the servos in the arm there is a surge that the pack may not be able to keep up with. Get a battery pack that can deliver 2-3 amps.
The shoulder set up on the old yellow bots goes like this. The two shoulder servos are connected with a “Y” cable so they both receive the same positioning pulses. Loosen the screws on the left servo. Turn the bot on and set the shoulder channel to 1.5mS. Check to see that both servos are holding position. Tighten the left servos screws to fix the two servos to the same position. Now they should track each other. That’s really it.
