How to perform manual tunning on the PowerFoot

  1. Initialize [[
  2. From wifi_fast.py command window, hit F4 to unlock screens
  3. Check nominal torque setting:
    1. Go to sensors screen (enter 3)
    2. Have user hold foot up in the air (level)
    3. Hit Shift C to zero torque
  4. If foot is not level, change virtual spring setpoint/offset
    1. S moves backwards (increases angle)
    2. X moves fwd (decreases angle)
    3. Check qIq to insure motor current is still near zero
    4. Enter Shift Z to set the zero position
  5. Go to std screen (enter "0")
  6. Early stance adjustment
    1. Stiffness tuning
      1. s increases stiffness, x decreases stiffness
    2. Damping
      1. d increases damping, c decreases damping
  7. Late Stance adjustment
    1. Stiffness
      1. f increases
      2. v decreases
      3. Note slow walking K needs to be more stiff, fast walking K needs to be less stiff
  8. Set Peak Torque
    1. Shift R increases, Shift F decreases
    2. Have the user make some typical steps
    3. Set the PCI value to the users typical torque value (on Matlab plots torque)
  9. PFF adjustment
    1. Shift I increases, Shift K decreases
    2. Watch tau pff on Matlab screen
    3. Note, increases very quickly make small increases while walking
