DRS-0101 does not run

So I just bought a Herkulex DRS-0101. I can communicate with it, turn the leds on and off read and write from/to the memories. But I can not get it to move one bit. Is there any magic register that I have missed or can it be that the device is broken?

Hi,

You need to make sure that torque control is on, otherwise it will not move.

If you are using Arduino , Here is a little example sketch ( for the mega) that works with the Herkulex library.

I remember playing with the torque on value but it should be On by default. --> Herkulex.writeRegistryRAM(n,52, TORQUE_ON);
