STAGE 59:

TEST ROBI’S NECK,

BACK AND ARMS

Use the CPU board to test Robi’s neck, body and arms,

before ﬁttin the velvet pads supplied in this stae to his feet.

This stae beins with you testin all the

servos of Robi’s neck, back and arms

toether, to ensure they all work before

you seal them inside Robi’s body. You will

then start buildin up the frame that will

hold both of Robi’s head servos, by

securin this to the neck base and servo

assembly via the servo itself. Finally, you

will attach the velvet pads supplied in

this stae to the soles of Robi’s feet.

Unlike the double-sided adhesive pads

used in Pack 9, these pads come in a left

and riht shape, so make sure you use

the correct one!

FASTEN THE NECK PLATE

TEST THE SERVOS

Use an M2 x 6.2mm pan-head screw to secure the part,

but do not tighten it too much, as the plate needs to be

able to move. You received a number of screws with this

stage, so make sure you use the correct one – this one

was part number 8 in the list.

Hold the body as shown, then push the switch

to the ON position.

Connect the battery’s connector to the socket

marked CN1 on the power distribution board. Make

sure the battery is charged (see box, above).

Now take the free connector on the body’s power/switch cable

and fit this into CN3.

Position the circled end of the neck plate ﬁtted in the

previous stae over the hole in the scarf beneath.

To rechare Robi’s

battery, connect

the battery and

power cord to the

power distribution

board, in sockets

CN1 and CN3

respectively, then

plu the mains

charer into the

back of the rear

hip panel.

Still holding the battery in place,

turn the switch ON. Note: Robi’s

arms will move as soon as the

power is switched on!

Slide the battery into the space next to the back servo, making sure all the

connectors stay in their sockets. Hold the battery in place.

When the power is connected, Robi will perform a movement test of his arms, by setting them to their starting, or neutral,

position, stretching them outwards from the elbows, then bringing them back to the neutral position.

Next, Robi’s upper arms will lift outwards – and while this

happens, his neck servo will pan to the right and back.

Finally, Robi’s shoulders will extend his arms forward

over his chest – and the shaft of his back servo will

rotate to the left.

When the tests described on the previous pages are

complete, Robi will return to his neutral position and you

will hear him say ‘OK!’ This is to test his speaker. Turn the

switch back to OFF, and disconnect the switch cable and

battery from the power distribution board.

Line up the head servo frame to the neck

servo, as shown.

Set the frame on top of the neck servo, so that the circled holes align

with the free ones on the neck servo. Then insert and tighten two

M1.7 x 24mm pan-head screws into these holes.

Now locate the circled hole in the top of the frame. Insert an M2 x 6mm pan-head screw into this hole to

secure the part.

OK!

STARTING

POSITION Each of the white plastic

connectors has a small barb

on one side, which holds the

connector securely in its

socket. To unplug a connector

easily and safely, press the

barb inwards – never pull on a

connector without doing this!

ATTENTION! !

Both arms were tested in

Stages 43 and 44, so if they

do not work now it is most

likely a problem with the

connection to the CPU, so

check/reset this.

Remove the back servo’s

cable from the CPU and

check to see if the arms start

working.

Consult the troubleshooting

guide of this stage.

IF THE ARMS DO NOT

MOVE

IF NO SERVOS MOVE

IF THE BACK AND NECK

DO NOT MOVE

Robi saying ‘OK!’ is only to test his speaker, not to affirm that the movement

test went as planned. If the movement tests do not go as described, see the

box above right, or the troubleshooting guide later in this stage.

ATTACH THE HEAD SERVO FRAME

323

FIT THE HEAD LEVER

Take the head lever and fit the ring nut into the hole in its longer arm,

from the angle shown. The ring nut should fit perfectly.

Take an M3 x 8mm pan-head screw and insert it through the circled

hole in the inside of the head servo frame, entering from the left. Turn

the screw through this hole so that it travels through the ring nut in the

lever and out to the other side.

With the ring nut still in position, slide the

lever into the space in the middle of the

head servo frame. Its shorter arm should

be at the rear of the assembly, pointing

out towards Robi’s right arm.

Holding the ring nut in its hole, line up the

lever to the head servo frame, oriented as

shown above.

TEST AND FIT SERVO ID=15

20 21

Make sure the test board is switched OFF, then

connect its own servo cable to it.

Turn the board ON. The LEDs should ﬂash, and then leave the

1 LED lit alone.

324

23 24

Press the TEST/SET switch: Robi’s head should rotate 45° to the left, stop, then

move back across to 45° to the riht, before returnin to its oriinal position. The

next step is to set the servo’s ID number, so keep the power on. If the test does not

run, or if the LEDs ﬂash rapidly, refer to the HELP box in Stae 8.

Althouh this servo has been used for Robi’s

neck durin the testin process, it will be his

forward-tiltin head servo when ﬁtted, with

the ID number 15. To set this, press UP 14

times, so that the 10 and 5 LEDs liht up.

Press and hold down the TEST/SET button

for a few seconds. The 10 and 5 LEDs

should ﬂash, then remain lit. The ID number

is now set.

If the test does not

run, check the servo

cable’s connector,

and ensure that the

battery is charged.

ID=15

25 It is vital that Robi’s servos are set correctly,

so it is always a ood idea to check that you

have set the intended ID number afterwards.

To do this, leave the servo connected, then

switch the power OFF, then back ON. Only

the 1 LED should liht up.

26 To check the ID number, press TEST/SET brieﬂy. Now the 10 and 5

LEDs should liht up and the servo shaft should repeat the rotations

seen in the test. Note: if anythin is amiss, you can bein the settin

process aain from Step 23.

CHECKING THE ID NUMBER

It is normal for the 1 LED to

light up when you switch on.

It will only change to give you

the ID number of the servo

when you press TEST/SET. If

you made a mistake, or set the

wrong ID number, you can reset

it by going through the setting

procedure again.

As you will have seen in the previous few packs, the process of

checking and resetting a servo’s ID number once fitted can be

fiddly and time-consuming, so be sure to get it correct now!

325

FITTING THE FOOT PADS

PREPARING THE SERVO CABLE

27 28

Match the riht foot pad to the sole of Robi’s riht foot, then,

when you are sure that they alin, peel the backin away to

the middle. Press the heel of the pad onto the back of the

sole, then smooth it down from the back to the front, peelin

the rest of the backin away as you do.

Make sure that the pad ﬁts exactly: if it doesn’t, peel it away

and reset it. Once you are happy with it, repeat the process

for the left foot and pad.

29 30

As you have done previously, identify the side of this

stae’s servo cable connector that has PUSH marked

on it (circled).

Apply a pad to the connector on this side. Repeat for the

other end of the cable.

If you want to delay fitting

the pads until the cable is

used in the build, you may

do so.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In this section, we look aain at what to do if the movement test carried out in this stae does

not o as described. As the arms have been tested previously, we will focus on the operation

of the neck and back servos, as well as the speaker, from which Robi says ‘OK!’

Before dismantlin the assembly to check its individual servos, check the other electrical components used in the test.

HEAD/NECK/BACK SOCKET

CHECK THAT THE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO

THE CORRECT SOCKET ON THE CPU

CHECK THAT THE SERVO CABLE IS

SECURELY CONNECTED TO THE CPU

CHECK THAT THE

BATTERY IS CHARGED

Ensure that the back servo

cable’s connector is sittin

securely within its socket.

Remove and replace it carefully

if need be.

The socket farthest from

the micro SD card slot on

the CPU board will hold the

servo cable runnin from

the back servo.

The test will only run if sucient

power is received from the

battery, so make sure the battery

is fully chared (see the Close-

Up box earlier in this stae).

INITIAL CHECKS

Neck stand (Stage 53)

Alon with the Phillips screwdriver

supplied with Stae 2, you will need

the followin:

IF NEITHER THE NECK NOR BACK SERVOS MOVE,

OR IF ROBI DOES NOT SAY ‘OK!’

If neither the neck nor the back servo moves when you start

the test, it is probable that there is a misplaced connection,

so o back and check these. Similarly, if Robi does not say

‘OK!’ at the end of the test, you should check the connection

between the speaker cable and CPU board.

THE BACK SERVO

THE SPEAKER

Follow the assembly of Steps

14-19 of Stae 58 in reverse, and

check the back servo’s connections

carefully. If both were sound,

disconnect it from the neck servo

and check the servo’s ID number

(ID=12), resettin it if necessary.

If Robi does not say ‘OK!’ at the

end of the test, check the connection of the speaker cable to

the CPU – done in Step 15 of Stae 57.

IF ONLY ONE SERVO MOVES

If one servo moves but the other does not, it is likely that one

of the ID numbers has been set incorrectly.

Should you need to disassemble and reset Robi’s neck or back

servos, see Stae 58 (for the back servo, ID=12) and/or Stae

54 (for the neck servo, ID=13).
