[left][LEFT] I recently purchased and installed RIOS software on my Windows 7 - Laptop
I also have Flowbotics software. And the robot works fine with that software.
I can connect, configure, save, and setup the robot per the RIOS user manual.
However, when I build simple projects, “from scratch” the movements of the robot do not look like what I programmed. I notice that typically the “move” window seems to be disabling servos, when I enter. I get a warning message about disabling some of the servos
If I quickly return to the config window I see the servo are disable. Also when the program does move, I can see some of the program movements, like the base, and the gripper, but the shoulder and elbow are often not working. Many time I hit the ambulance button ON then off and the robot will return to the position that I set in the “Step”.
I need to get this fixed. The RIOS software is critical for a School Science project, where we were going to issue Socket commands to the robot from a C++ program. (Any other Ideas in the area as well?)
I have re-configured multiple time, re-tested, build multiple projects, etc. I have double checked the Comm setting, re-loaded the drivers.
Should I purchase the new SSC-32 USB board, I am using the older board, with the USB-to-RS232 cable?..[/left][/LEFT]
Thanks,
I have continued to research the issue and it seems to be related to the fact that the configuration that I save (many times), is lost somewhere in the processing. Each time I “stop” the 1.5 servo test, the robot does not return to the “home” position that saved in the configuration file. If I re-open the configuration file, on the configuration screen, the robot goes back the pre-programmed home position.
As soon as I do an "All = 1.5 test, then stop the test, the robot does not go back to the home…hence, it looses it configuration.
Also, after I re-load the configuration, the robot is fine, but typically, as soon as I try to run the project, the configuration is lost and the robot goes “OFF” track.
Attached is the another error message that I am getting, plus a screen shott of the files in the config directory (from inside the config window of RIOS). Note the “lock” plus the fact that I can not seem to find these files from the file exsplore, almost like they are hidden, but the permissions do not say that.
We are currently investigating the issue. Unfortunately, we do not yet have a clear picture of the issue or its cause(s), so we cannot estimate how long this process may take.
We will get back to you once we have more information.
