If there is noticeable latency from the time the GlambotĀ® path starts to when the video begins recording, there are a few likely causes. 1. The GoPro is connected wirelessly. To ensure proper recording transfer speeds, use a wired connection.Ā  1. If the video is still recording late, use the advanced settings on the GlambotĀ® motion control web app to change the connection type to Bluetooth. While still using a wired connection to the GoPro, using the Bluetooth setting on the Glambot Motion control will trigger the recording slightly earlier than the wired connection setting.

If you are experiencing frame correction/drifting at the end of a video, it is likely due to hypersmooth mode enabled on the GoPro. Hypersmooth mode analyzes and corrects camera motion frame by frame. We typically recommend hypersmooth mode to create the smoothest video output. However, it may not be ideal for all situations or backdrops. In the case that frame correction produces noticeable or uneven movement, or if it appears as if the wrist is still moving at the end of a recorded video, turn off hypersmooth mode on the GoPro.

If the wrist doesn’t stop rotating or spins all the way around, it is due to a wrist communication error. The cable from W2 to W3 may have been disconnected fully or intermittently. If this happens, use the red e-stop button to shut down the robot immediately to prevent cable damage.Ā  1. Ensure the cable connecting wrist motor 2 to 3 is fully seated and secure. Restart the robot.

If no power or data is being provided from the usb-c ports on arm 2, there are two most likely causes:Ā  1. The usb-c connection is swapped on arm 1, or disconnected.Ā  1. On the bottom side of arm 1, ensure that the usb-c with the yellow stripe is connected to the power port, and that the all black usb-c is in the data port 2. On the power strip at the base of the robot, ensure that the yellow striped usb-c is plugged in and receiving power. For data ports, ensure that the cables connected to the camera and iPhone/iPad are data-transfer cables. See our List of Recommended Cables 3. If there is still no power or data, try using a different usb-c cable.Ā  1. The USB-C connection point into arm 2 needs flipped. Some USB-C connections are directional and only work one way. Try Flipping the USB-C cable around as shown below:
