| | Re: Hexapod servo supply

I had a very similar problem with my robot. When the servos are under high load (ie holding up your robot) and you try to move them all at once, the current drawn is quite large. I never actually measured how large, but large enough to destroy a 1A (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You have a short circuit somewhere. The first thing to check is to make sure you have the capacitors in the right way. Some of them are polarized, and if you put them in backwards, they sometimes short out, and sometimes they blow up. The next thing (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, I am now building a hexapod robot. There is something wrong on the servos preformances. Actually, my robot weights 1.6kg, and by calculations my servos can support up to 2.5kg with normal operations. But when I connected the 6v dc supply for (...)

Some years back, I got a set of "hard to find" electronics parts for the 6.270 board (from PK Oberoi, for those who might know who that is). I never got around to building the boards, and I'm doing my robotics stuff with the RCX. So, I thought (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Eric, The pcode does load, or otherwise the beeper would not beep with the board reset.
