Random movements! Can i do a hard reset?

Hello guys! I really hope you can help me out.

I am currently running into some problems when experimenting with my PLEN2. For some reason all joints are moving like crazy and its making random movements. I tried using the movement editor (online and offline) etc. It says i'm connected, but nothing works at all. Does anyone know how i can fix this? Is there a way to remove all settings and restore it into factory settings?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Hugo,

Just for confirmation, did you assemble your PLEN in accordance perfectly with the official assembling manual?
Timing of to turn on the switches is very important to assemble PLEN without any troubles.
(If you can attach a picture or a movie about your PLEN's status, it could help me to solve this problem.)

If did that, I recommend to reset the joints configuration in reference to steps below:
- Disassemble the all plastic exterior parts for safety. (Not necessary to detach the sevos.)
- Download any serial terminal to communicate PLEN.
- Start up the serial terminal with baud-rate configuration "2,000,000".
- After that, send ">JS$HP" commands text. (s.a. -> http://plen.jp/playground/wiki/specifications/protocol)
- Re-assemble the all parts.
