Possible issue with the legs. Just received Bittle this week, pre-assembled. During initial testing, Bittle seems to fall over and act a little crazy during walk and runs.
I did some physical calibrating per the instructions, and finally did some more precise ones via the IDE software yesterday. Everything looks aligned and at right angles in Calibration Mode.
Turn it on and it's crouched. And when I press RUN, it's more of a walk with the left legs not using a full range of motion.
When I press Calibration from the remote, and then press RUN, it runs very fast when I hold it up and the legs seem to be using their full range. But when I place it on a surface, it struggles and flips over.
Not sure what to do with it. Seems like it wants to do everything, but something's off. Here are a few videos to see what anyone thinks. Thanks in advance!
Two Questions:
First one: The OpenCat upload seems to possibly have a glitch in the Run command. When I press it on the remote, the following video is what occurs:
Everything else seems ok. But this clearly isn't "Running" anymore. The servos ran much quicker in Run mode previously. But this is what happens now with the current firmware. Any ideas what's happening or how to fix it?
Second question - on adding a Raspberry Pi Zero-W:
If we install a RPI Zero-W using the serial connector; do the commands, (Run, Forward, Sit, etc.), remain under control of the Nyboard?
Could the RF/IR commands can now be delivered via the serial interface connection between the Pi and the Nyboard?
The intent is to allow the PI to replace the command set that is currently being delivered via RF/IR, and tell Bittle to move from a smartphone app via the Pi instead. Is that possible?
Thanks as always!...
