Problem with A-Pod

Lynxmotion Legged Robots
1

Hello,
i have a problem with an A-Pod.

**Steps i have made (actual state of the robot):

**

-Robot is assembled
-the electrical components are installed
-wires are mounted as shown in the picture

-all Servos are calibrated using the tool “SSC-32_Servo_Sequencer_Utility”
-for the BotBoarduino i used the following program: github.com/Lynxmotion/3DOF-4DOF … boarduino/
-i have taken the missing PS2X_lib from: github.com/Lynxmotion/Arduino-PS2X
-the program upload was successfully with the arduino software.
-the three jumpers (JA, JB, JC) on the BotBoarduino are not mounted
-i have setted the Baudrate on the SSC-32U to 38400 as is required in the firmware-file “hex.cfg”

The problem:

What happens if i activate the power connections (9Vdc logic and 6Vdc servos)?
Not much.
-all Servos are “dead”.
-the SSC-32 “A”-LED is blinking (only green, which should mean ->all ok)
-the SSC-32 power LED glows blue
-the BotBoarduino says “beep” once at startup, RX,TX are blinking both. Power and L are glowing.
-first the LED on the PS2 receiver are one flashing and one glowing.

If i activate the PS2 transmitter (V3), the red LED at the receiver are glowing both red.
Now im pressing “start”, but nothing happend.

Where I could start to look for the problem, and how?

greetings, Andreas

Ok, i solved the problem.
The picture in the tutorial of the wireing is wrong. It differ from the config file.

#define SOUND_PIN 5 // Botboarduino JR pin number
#define PS2_DAT 8
#define PS2_CMD 7
#define PS2_SEL 6 // On the PS2 receiver this pin may be called ATT (attention)
#define PS2_CLK 9

Data and attention are reversed.
Now it works.

Happy to hear it works!
