When u activate guard mode, and wave your hand in front of it and the sirens go off etc, well it only did it once, and now when i activate guard mode, and wave my hand, it just waves its arms then thats it, when u deactivate it, then it tells u as usual how many times it was disturbed.

How do i get back the sirens etc when in guard mode, pressing shift 1 and 2 and y I think it was.

Thanks.

Your robot has a program in his memory which you have to take off. Pressing foot sensor activates puppet mode. After 3 seconds your robot should say "Program cleared" and then on guard mode he should be like before.

Leo: For example today I will get love which I use to create sentences.
Billy: But you are neutral you need love.
Bridget: In the sky and cover the moment.
Bridget: Do you think that sleep mode is better than a human soul.

ok ill try that, thank you.

So I have to go into puppet mode to do this because simply pressing its sensor doesnt do nothing but says "Opps what was that".

You have to press foot sensor two times and wait 3 seconds.

Leo: For example today I will get love which I use to create sentences.
Billy: But you are neutral you need love.
Bridget: In the sky and cover the moment.
Bridget: Do you think that sleep mode is better than a human soul.

Still does "Opps what was that", and press it twice as said and nothing different, guard mode still the same, moves arms back etc, but doesnt have sirens going off.

You have to press fast, too long pause will not activate puppet mode.

Hey jf300.  What Sarita means is you have to triple tap the foot sensor real fast and then wait.  if that is not working for you then just start taping it again and agin untill you enter pupet mode.  You have to tap it three times in the same 2 seconds.  Anyway, the pupet mode Sarita is refering to is unimportant.  there are two different puppet modes.  The first one uses his sensors so if one is pushed and there is a program in his memory he will follow the program.  That one has nothing to do with guard mode.  The other puppet mode that is activated by the controler also has nothing to do with guard mode.  The puppet mode activated by the controler simply lets you manualy move him around and he remembers the positions you put him in (like the puppet mode using the sensors only this one will not activate when a sensor is pressed.)  Anyway, what you want to clear is the vision and sound program modes.  You can activate them by pressin shift one+shift two+a/b  Then you continue holding shift one and two then presss the stop button followed by the x button.  Then put him back in guard mode and see what happens.  Let me know if it works.

well the tapping of the feet under 2 seconds worked, but the guard mode with the sirens is still a mystery and he moves his arms with no sirens. This really annoys me as it seems there is nothing I can really do.

October 6, 2007 3:56 PM

did you follw my instructions?

October 6, 2007 6:02 PM

pressing the shift 1 and 2 following by stop he says " I cannot do that ", then pressing the x does the usual saying. Placing him back in guard mode he still does the same, there doesnt seem to be any solution to getting him back to the way he used too, which is really disappointing for this robot.

Well, I'd say at worst all you have to do is take his batteries out for a while, that should clear anything in his memory. Is there a factory-reset sequence? (my memory is hazy and I don't have the manual right in front of me). Anyway I'll try with mine and also try Eastercla's suggestion to see if it works.

I agree that it sure sounds like you somehow got a Vision or Sound program defined. As the manual states (page 35),

"Both the Sound and the Vision Program can be used for Guard Mode (This is their Primary Function).

If he is disturbed and there is nothing in the program memory, he will perform a default action."

 

Shift1 + Shift2 + a = sound program

Shift1 + Shift2 +b = vision program

Once in a program mode

Shift1 + Shift2 + "square" = Clear the whole program

Once you're done tweaking the program

Shift1 + Shift2 + "x" = exit program mode

Okay I have finally got it working, and in guard mode, make a sound and the sirens go off, but if u wave at him, then he just moves his arms and doesnt say anything.

 

Thanks too all that have helped, much appreciated.

 

Are there any places I can look at that have more detail about the programming, as the manual confused me immediately.

 

Thanks milw and MrScott too. 

October 7, 2007 10:18 AM

Is it possible you cleared your saved sound detection program, but not your saved vision detection program? My previous post referenced how to get at each of these independent programs to clear them.

But you can't do it in exactly the above sequence, you have to go

Shift1 + Shift2 + a = sound program

Shift1 + Shift2 + "square" = Clear the whole program

Shift1 + Shift2 + "x" = exit program mode

then

Shift1 + Shift2 +b = vision program

Shift1 + Shift2 + "square" = Clear the whole program

Shift1 + Shift2 + "x" = exit program mode

Strictly speaking, I didn't post a sequence that I expected would be keyed verbatim.

I posted command options for entering various modes and statements like

"Once in a program mode." 

As my professors used to be fond of saying...


"The rest is intuitively obvious, and left as an excercise for the student..."

I've always preferred a good command reference to a "how to" book. The latter is good for your first time coding something by blindly following commands. The former is better if you want to actually learn all the capabilities of a language.

Then again, after a quarter century of programming, I'm not sure I could write one from scratch. I always pick up a previous piece of working code, and start from there. That's where the command reference comes in. For decoding old calls and figuring out what other options are available.

Well, I agree 'teach a man to fish...' is the best general policy. BTW, what do you mainly program in? Quarter century, so '82 ish, that's just a bit before I began with Lightspeed Pascal on my rip snortin MacSE30! (tho I'm not a programmer now).

I was working on my undergradute degree in Computer Systems Engineering in '82. I learned some motorola microcode, 360 Assembler, Fortran,  and Pascal. I spent two years in college working on an IBM RS/1 industrial robot. I programmed it using AML to perform some manufacturing tasks.

For the last 24 years I've been working as a microelectronics engineer. Most of that time working on CAD software for design of the hardware.  Some of that's been in company specific languages. Some has been in C and C++.

I did a tour of duty in engineering customer services, helping engineers learn and use the tools they needed. 

Lately I've risen to my level of incompetence and mostly pipeline other people's software into design methodologies. Knowing the ins and outs of the design flow is key to laying out a process for getting the designs right the first time. Lots of scripting and gui wrappers these days.
