I just got my srv-1, I followed the instructions on the web site.
 
I have Java 1.4.2.03 installed on Windows XP.
 
I'm using the Java console from 6/23/06 and get this error:
 
 
* The error occured while running the application. The exit code is 0x10000224.
* Contact the vendor of the application for troubleshooting.

Thanks for the response..
 
I upgraded to Java 1.5.06, which corrected the problem... you might want to update the web site / documentation.
 
How can I find out what firmware is loaded on my srv-1 ?
 
I'm wondering if I should mess with a firmware update... the manual commands look fun.
 
I tried using hyperterm and com4, which lets me connect to the robot, but it's sending so much video data I can't see the response... not even sure the V command is supported in my firmware version...
I tried turning off the video in the Java console, and then connecting via hyperterm, but sending a V put the robot in some kind of trance, haha. It just spewed .......
 
I prolly need to send the V command in hexadecimal from a terminal program right?  
 
Thanks for any help.
