What to check · Que vérifier

  • Inspect the boardsian Soft Servo close to unstable, its wiring and connections first.
  • Match this code against your robot's event-log timeline before swapping parts.
  • Follow the French field checks below — they are the tested sequence for this fault.
  • probable : The system damping is too low.
  • The damping is calculated from a ratio of stiffness.
  • Change the value of 'Stiffness' or 'StiffnessNonSoftDir' in the CSSAct instruction.
  • If that does not help increase the value of the system parameter 'Damping stability limit' or change the parameter 'Stiffness to damping ratio' in topic Motion and type CSS.
