Good News, We managed to repair our robot. The proble was not the programming or the swapping of Robot Controllers. However the problem was that someone we don't know who and we no longer care decided to rewire the controller board. basically move the pwm cables from one pin to another there fore mixing up pneumatics and motor functions. i do thank you for your help and advice on how to approriately handle this situation. Thanks Again for all your help




All i had to do was study the rear arm movement and what axis controlled it on the joystick before i knew that the rear was rewired and that the motor and pneumatic functions posed the same symptoms to a wiring fault on the robot controller i good i real good at trouble shooting.


so for the record 3 years WILMA our 2001 robo wonder still has and will remain undefeated 0 mechanical failures 2 wiring faults
