Step 9: Install Knee and Ankle Motors
Connect and install motors ID 5 and ID 6 in the knee and ankle positions.
Parts needed
| Part | Count |
|---|---|
| EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 5) | 1 |
| EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 6) | 1 |
| Double-ended XT30 cable | 1 |
| M3x12 flat bolt | 12 |
Instructions
Flip the current assembly over such that the knee part is facing downward toward the surface and the 2 hollow portions of part are facing upward toward the ceiling.
Take motor EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 5) and motor EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 6) and put them on a flat surface such that the motor shaft is facing downward toward the surface and the port is nearer to the top. Connect the two motors with a doubled-ended XT30 cable.
Take motor EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 5) and align it into the first hollow nearer to the knee on part . The motor shaft should be facing downward toward the floor. Make sure that the port and cable are aligned with the joint port cut-out between the two hollow portions.
Take motor EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 6) and align it into the second hollow nearer to the ankle on part . Make sure that the cable and ports of the motor are on top of the cable from motor EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 5) in the joint port cut out.
Bend the knee upward such that the ankle is facing the ceiling slowly. You should be seeing the 2 motor shafts facing you right now.
Take 6 – M3x12 flat bolts and lightly tighten it through the 6 holes around the first hollow near to the knee on part to align part with the motor underneath.
Once the parts are aligned, remove each of the M3x12 sockets, apply the threadlocker onto them and tighten them back into the holes to secure part to the motor.
