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.
