But I couldn’t get it to work after I adjust and trim legs position and stuck in connect PS2 joystick, Microbasic chip & bot board all together.
Also notice the jumper cofused me as well, not sure where should I place them or not.
I only hear the tick sound. Something suspicious when wiring PS2 joystick cable. The color look different as shown on instruction. Perhaps I need to re plug those wire as shown or leave as is?
The colors of the PS2 cable wires have changed with almost every batch. If your cable does not match the current diagram, you can see a table with the different batch colors listed in the Bot Board 2 manual here: lynxmotion.com/images/html/b … tm#aglance
Have you programmed the BAP28 yet? It sounds like you’re describing the default program the chip is shipped with. Take a look at steps 15 and 16 of the tutorial.
Ok we have a game plan. We will edit every tutorial that uses the PS2 and ensure the diagram accurately reflects the cable we are currently shipping. We will then make sure the words, “Please use ONLY the diagrams for wiring the PS2 controller cable. Do not use the photographs for this!” appears in each one. We will also mention in the tutorial that wiring diagrams for older cables are in the Bot Board II manual (online)
I was in step 16 and unzip all three files to program ATOM.
The step 16 says:
“If all is well, you will hear a beep after power up. Press Start and the legs should snap to position. At this point, if you properly calibrated the servo offsets, the legs should be perfectly aligned.”
&
" If you hear a continuous beeping, the PS2 controller is not connected to the Atom properly or is not functioning. If you hear beeping, you can try pressing Reset on the Bot Board II. You can also test the controller with a Playstation 2 to verify that it is working."
PS2 joystick connected, SSC32 and BB2 connected but I only hear the ticking sound and servos are not moving or aligned. That’s why I wrote you an email and you ask me to post on forum here for any questions.
I 100% understand how sick to answering “not working” issue and sorry to keep asking probably “stupid” questions. Any where else I should search for answers for beginner or you could still give me a hand?
One thing I forgot to mention. The PS2 cable I got from lynxmotion has a wire black and white links into the same pin. When I first got it and I read the diagram of the tutorial, I check the image of figure 13 & 14-3. So, I changed the color order on the PS2 cable to match the diagram as tuorial therefore I forgot what’s the original color order was, perhaps that might be something wrong?
I hit “Program” tab and its starting some progress. After finish it sound up some new tone I never heard before and I hit key on PS2 it has beeping sound but servo is not moving… That’s current stats… A and C led is flashing , B is in solid green… I’m keep working on that. Meanwhile if you great people can show me more lights are more appriciated!!
