PLEN Playground - Forum

OK, let you download following one:

Hi, anzenbp

Just for confirmation, Have you install Arduino IDE released by arduino.cc?
I think the issue was caused by there is no device driver for Arduino Micro.

Hi, Chin

If a servo makes a loud noise, probably there is breaking of servo's wire.
Please check if your servos' cables have any breaking, and if you find that, you shouldn't turn on switches.
(To make a little noise isn't any failure, put your mind at ease ;) )

> Do I need to turn two Switches on after connecting the cable?
To turn on after connecting or before connecting, either is fine.

> it is automatically connect after the cable is connected to the robot?
If you run the application after connecting cable, that's right you intended.
In other cases, you need to click "Connect" button, and check that connection status is "Connected!".

Hi, Kcwkam

FYI:

Hi, PLEN users!

If really the battery is fully charged, PLEN doesn't move into random.
Thus, I think the issue probably caused by early failures on your battery or battery charger.

If you would like to check it, please send us your PLEN to following address:
3F Meijiyasuda-Life Osaka Umeda Bidg. 3-3-20 Umeda Kita-ku Osaka-city Osaka 530-0001 Japan

Please note that you need to write the word "NOT RESTRICTED" in a bill of landing, in a shipping.

OK, our support staff will arrange that, but I think that we shouldn't talk about the shipping consultation here.
Please wait for a while until the staff contacts you via email :)

Hi, wingcloud

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that X(

If PLEN's servos (and general servos) get stress while a long time, then these will be broken.
This can happen if the arm was sinking into your PLEN's body.

However, if you didn't tune up the home position was like this, the trouble almost probably happened by the early failure.

Currently, the motion editor has an architecture which delegates HTTP listener, serial communication, and command-line converter to the control server.
e.g. -> https://github.com/plenprojectcompany/p … rol_server

If you would like to control PLEN developer edition through the motion editor,
you need to do one of the following processes.
1. Implement an ROS node which can listen the all HTTP requests the motion editor publishes.
   After that, you fill out the server setting to your edison's IP address.
2. Implement an ROS node which can connect the edison's central node on your PC.
   After that, you customize the control server to be able to communicate with the ROS node.

We haven't decided to add an ROS support in the control server,
but we started to publish customization manual for users.

Hi, cliffkhew

The servos specifications were suggested as below.

Please note that the servos have same specification these have, but the servos are not the same those. X(
We have been providing original servos for PLEN series robots. Using other servos is not supported and guaranteed.

Hi, waitingme

PLEN2 is using a battery which satisfies NiMH, AAAx5, 6V, 750mAh.

Hi, waitingme :)

That's roughly right you intended. Whenever I test any new firmware, I run the program using a breadboard circuit including official Arduino/Genuino Micro and some ICs.

If you could not find the ICs, please check the eagle's option which is placed "Options" -> "User interface..." -> "Sheet thumbnails".
