Hey, with further sleuthing of code I’m guessing… are you folks reading the accelerometer values in Balance.cpp?
It seems like there is testing if there is greater than 0 values in Z at rest . and a test with the x axis to run the standup code. I’m I right? Is it possible these tests are not > 0 at 90 degrees?
I can get my balboa with arms installed to balance, if I start it standing up, but it will not stand up from a 90 or 85 degree angle lying down.(the angle the robot rests at lying down with the arms installed.)
I have been changing these values in Balance.cpp:
if (angleRate > -2 && angleRate < 2)
{
// It's really calm, so we know the angles.
if (imu.a.z > 0)
{
angle = 110000; changed to 90000 or 80000
}
else
{
angle = -110000; changed to -90000 or -80000
}
distanceLeft = 0;
distanceRight = 0;
}
}
I am I on the wrong track?
I cannot get the red led on with the initial standup code to engage when I press button A.
What part of the balance program “sees” the resting angle when the robot is face down at 110 degrees?
Where should I look to change it to about 87 degrees?
