 ==== Current tasks (actionable items): ====
 Todo:
-  * Grease it with Harmonic Grease 4B No2
+  * extend the Sudoroom library - written for ERC controller, we have an XRC controller, but it mostly works [[https://github.com/treeherder/yasnac]]
-  * Outriggers
-  * Calibrate / set home position (outriggers / grease before this)
-      * this will allow programs to be run
   * replace electrolytic capacitor on speed control board
-  * Extend the control panel on the cabinet so that it is not in the working area of the robot
+  * Add an external control panel for start/hold/servo on/play/teach/remote buttons, so that it is not in the working area of the robot, which is much safer
-  * E.g.: The [[https://www.motoman.com/getmedia/c6a8b343-6cbd-4e9d-8b1b-579a429eefcc/YRC1000-Pendant.png.aspx | YRC1000 programming pendant]] has start, hold, play/teach/remote buttons integrated
+      * E.g.: The [[https://www.motoman.com/getmedia/c6a8b343-6cbd-4e9d-8b1b-579a429eefcc/YRC1000-Pendant.png.aspx | YRC1000 programming pendant]] has start, hold, play/teach/remote buttons integrated
       * use inputs: 2010 external start, 2014 remote, 2015 play, 2016 teach, EXESP External estop, EXSVON External Servo On, EXHOLD External Hold
-      * put a socket in the unused hole in the panel. CAT5 cable has 8 cores, enough for 7 buttons
+      * In progress: a box with buttons has been made with a DB25 connector. DB25 socket needs wired into the cabinet. Miron has documentation on wiring
-  * Get a RS232 adapter for computer connection
   * Communicate with robot
-      * (before moving the arm with this, extend the control panel, to put it into remote mode without entering the robot work area)
-      * Try MotomanSDK first
-      * Check if the ERC serial communication software written by Sudoroom [[https://github.com/treeherder/yasnac]] is compatible with the XRC controller by first downloading the MotomanSDK and monitoring the serial communications sent by it
-      * compare  with XRC "Data Transmission function manual" to verify it is compatible, then try it
   * PCMCIA adapter + CF card to allow to save calibration settings and load programs written on a PC
   * compile training / documentation on wiki

 Done Tasks:
-  * make space in lab for arm
+  * Grease it with Harmonic Grease 4B No2
-      * kitchen area is just big enough to have the trolley in the centre with a clear 1m radius circle (the reach of the arm) around it
+  * Outriggers made
+  * Calibrate / set home position (outriggers / grease before this)
+      * this will allow programs to be run
+  * Get a RS232 adapter for computer connection
   * Trolley frame built
   * VFD fitted

+==== Manually open/close gripper ====
+The robot must be in teach mode to use this, but the servo doesn't need to be on. If the gripper is obstructed it will continuously attempt to finish opening/closing (but the desired state can still be changed).

+==== Adjust collision sensitivity ====
+Switch to management mode and then set the sensitivity between 1 (scares itself) and 500 (killer robot). The default is 100.

+Conditions 1 to 7 can be used explicitly in play/remote mode instead of the default 8. Program these remotely to get known custom levels.
