The following text appears in the terminal window.
PS2 Init: 0
Maker Factory Hexapod Monitor
O - Enter servo offset mode
Send an "O" to the robot board by writing "O" in the transmission line and then pressing the Enter key. The robot will now "wiggle" with the chosen servo in the
setting.
The characters can be written in small or capital letters ("o" as well as "O" is possible).
The following message then appears in the terminal:
Serial Cmd Line:o<eol>
Find Servo Zeros.
$-Exit, +- changes, *-change servo
0-5 Chooses a leg, C-Coxa, F-Femur, T-Tibia
Servo: RR Coxa(0)
The following input options are available:
• With "$" you leave the calibration -> Exit
• With "+" or "-" you can precisely adjust the selected servo in small steps. The characters must be sent to the Hexapod Robot Board until the leg is correctly
adjusted.
• Use "*" to select the next servo.
• With a number from 0 to 5 you can select the legs individually.
0 = Leg RR (right rear)
1 = Leg RM (right middle)
2 = Leg RF (right front)
3 = Leg LR (left rear)
4 = Leg LM (left middle)
5 = Leg LF (left front)
When all servos are set, send a "$" character. The programme will now ask if you want to save the data. Send "y" for save or "n" to discard the settings.
You may need to perform this calibration procedure again after some time. The reason for this is that after a certain operating time the servos get a
larger gear backlash and the first calibration no longer proves to be ideal.
After the Robobug has been assembled and calibrated, you can unscrew the screws M3 x 6 mm (large head diameter 6 mm) and secure them with a screw
lock. These are then screwed in again. Also check all other screws for tightness.
