Complete KXR-L4D Assembly completed ! The following will explain how to mount the battery and run motions.
Battery Mounting ■Mount the battery. Before installation, check to be sure the power switch is OFF. Do not turn the power switch ON until connecting to the PC. Always read through the battery and charger manuals before use. Also, if using an LiFe battery, to prevent damage from over discharge, be sure to read about Motion when voltage reduced (voltage check function on HTH4) after the instructions for running motions. ①-1.Push down lightly on the hatch clasp and slide it. ②Put in the battery in the direction of the photo so the connector goes in first. ①-2.Once unlocked, the hatch opens on both sides. *Do not force the battery in. Check to see if it s catching on a cable. ③Connect the connector. ④Close both sides of the hatch to complete the process. *Be sure the polarity is correct. Connect cables of the same color so that the clasps join. ※Reference photo: KXR-L4...
■ Run the sample motion Enable the low voltage motion setting to prevent over discharge, and run the motion. ■ Set the Dual USB adapter HS switch to Serial mode KO Driver is driver software that enables Windows OS to recognize Kondo Kagaku s USB adaptor. This allows the servos and robot to communicate with the PC via a USB connection. 1. Set the Dual USB adapter HS switch to Serial mode, connect the Black-and-White Extension Cable, and then plug it into theUSB port of your personal computer.When connected to the USB port in ICS mode, the Dual USB Adapter HS LED lights Green.

Connection with PC 2 ■ Install HeartToHeart4 Software HTH4 (HeartToHeart4) is used to adjust the robot. The software is exclusively for RCB-4HV/RCB-4mini (referred to as “RCB-4” below) and has been designed to make it easy for anyone to control the robot. Using this software allows you to make full use of the functions needed to freely operate the robot, including the neutral position check (checks that parts have been assembled correctly with the servos in the origin (neutral) position), basic positioning adjustment (trim adjustment), motion creation, sensor settings, etc.
Page 52
Connection with PC 3 4. Copy Sample Data Copy the “Sample_Projects_KXR(Vxx.x)" in the HeartToHeart4 folder on the CD-ROM to a con- venient location on your personal computer. In the example, it is copied to the desktop. *The version number differs depending on the kit and included CD-ROM. 5. Activate KXR Turn the KXR power switch ON. [IMPORTANT] • Check the RCB-4 wiring and each servo motor once again be- foreturning the power ON.
Trim Position: ● The pose where only the trim is adjusted from the Neutral Position. This becomes the robot's basic posture. It is the upright standing posture for KXR-L4D, and is used when adjusting trim. ● Home Position: The first and last position when motions are run. When the motion is completed, ...

Trim Adjustment 3 6. Press the “Project Setting Window" but- ton.The Project Setting window opens when selected. 7. Set the COM communication rate and ICS communication rate to 115200 . Read the cautions on the next page before pressing the RAM button. 8. Keep clicking on "RAM" button, al- lowing 2 to 3 seconds between each click until the robot slowly moves to trim position. This applies when you run the robot for the first time. When the servos are shipped from the factory, there is no data loaded into them, thus the "RAM" button needs to be clicked multiple times for initiali- sation. Once initialised, pressing "RAM" once will be enough to get robot moving. ...
Page 56
Confirm Trim Position The correct trim position is the pose shown in the diagram below. Press the RAM button and confirm that the robot assumes this pose. When the RAM button is clicked, the robot will assume this posture. If the robot does not match this pose, then the origin setting is wrong. Retrace the origin setting steps to determine and correct the part that is off track. Proceeding to set the Home Position without confirming this posture can cause damage to the servo motors.

Trim Adjustment 4 9. Click the "Trim Adjustment" tab at the top of the Project Setting window, to change screens. 10. Press the "Sync" button in the toolbar of the Main Window. If the color of the button changes after pressing, it is turned ON. In the Sync state, the corresponding servo motor operates on a real-time basis by moving the HeartToHeart4 slide bar. *The screen layout is an example for reference purposes. 11. Adjust areas where the trim is out of alignment with reference to the image. The trim position is an important base position for executing motions. In particular, if the left and right legs are not in perfect alignment, walking, etc. in the sample motion will not pro- ceed smoothly. When the trim is out of alignment, the overall motion will also be off, so ...

Running Sample Motions 1 ■ Running Sample Motions This will run the sample motions for KXR. If the robot keeps falling or does not move properly, try trimming the servos again. The following uses "Hello̲KXR-L4D(Vxx.x)" as an example. Please refer to "Trim Adjustment" section if necessary. In the sample project, settings are enabled so that the reduced voltage motion will run automatically. If the battery runs low, other than the reduced voltage motion, the robot may move in unintended ways, lose power or otherwise operate abnormally. First, charge (or replace) the battery.

Reduced Voltage Motion Setting for Li-Fe Batteries ■ Battery over discharge prevention setting <Always enable this setting before use> If the battery capacity runs down while in use, the voltage will decrease, but when a rated 9.9V LiFe battery that has dropped below 9.0V, or a 6.6V LiFe battery, below 6.0V, is used, it will damage the battery and the battery itself will expand. This is called over discharge. If you continue to use the battery in this state, it will cause smoke or fire. In order to prevent this, there is a function that automatically runs a motion when the battery drops below the specified voltage. Using this function, you can enable a setting to prevent the LiFe battery from over discharge. *In the included sample project, the setting has already been enabled as below, but be aware that you will need to re-enable the over discharge prevention setting every time you create a new project. 1. Set the project and open the project window. Set the motion to run when power voltage drops below the voltage that you indicate. 2. Set the voltage for running the reduced voltage motion to 6.0V. The voltage per cell cannot drop below 3.0V, so 3.0V x 2 cells is 6.0V. 3. Select the motion to automatically run when the battery drops below the set voltage. Select low voltage indicator motion. If you run an active motion at low voltage, it will consume more of the battery and could lead to over discharge. 4. Click Save all in ROM and load into RCB-4. The process is comp- lete when the robot restarts. When ending the process, always save the ...
