Repaired! and then it broke....

A lot of progress has been made since did my last post. The software was not the issue unfortunately, however the memory card was. Once the memory card was replaced, the system was able to load the software and initialize. After initializing the system, I was able to get all 6 joints of the robot to move. After playing around with the robot in teach mode for a little bit I tried to calibrate to system. When calibrating the system the 1st joint was unable to find the zero point. In order to troubleshoot this i first switched two encoders how ever the problem stay at the 1st joint so that meant the problem was most likely in the servo card. While swapping two of the servo cards one of the previously working cards broke. Once the card broke there was nothing more to be done until it is replaced. Hopefully once these cards are replaced everything will work and I can start learning how to program it.
