joint_configurator usage and motor noise

[carson]

I'm trying to understand how the joint configurator software should be used. If I start the youbot, run the helloworld (observing the arm moving), and then run the joint configurator, when I try to set joint values the robot makes motor noise. Is this something that ought to be a bug or is my use of the application incorrect?

Dear Carson,

to avoid a misunderstanding, can you answer following questions please?

• can you describe the noise?
• which values do you set?
• do you hear these noises when running other applications?

Thanks and best youBot Team

It sounds like motor backlash.

Dear Carlson

Do you also get a noise, if you run the youbot_HelloWorldDemo app? Or do you only get this noise after setting the configuration parameters? If the latter, can you send us the configuration file/parameters which you are changing.

best regards, youBot Team

No noise from the youbot_HelloWorldDemo app. The configuration parameters ought to have been the defaults. A zip file of the configuration parameters (config directory) is available here:
