@shanpu-fang Hello, here is the ExoCode, GUI, and config.ini files.

Answer to: Other than the SD config file, is there any code that needs to be edited when changing the CAN ID?

@delta

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Would you mind sharing the following information/files with us?
1) The code flashed to the Teensy and Nano
2) The Python GUI
3) The contents of the config.ini file on your SD card

For 1) and 2), you can either send the GitHub commit link you’re using or upload your ExoCode folder as a zip file. For 3), you can include it in the same zip file.

We’ll review your code and test it on our end.

Other than the SD config file, is there any code that needs to be edited when changing the CAN ID?

I am using the AK80-9 for the ankle. We originally set the CAN ID to the right hip, 33, to test the motor with GUI, but now when I set the CAN ID to the right ankle, 36, the motor does not run with the GUI. 1. To set the CAN ID in CubeMars, I made sure to calibrate it, then set the ID and typed "exit" before disconnecting. Then on the SD card, I went to the config file to change the Exo name to "bilateralHip" and made sure the values were set correctly in the bilateralHip section. Opening ArduinoIDE, I reuploaded the ExoCode.ino to both Teensy 4.1 and Nano. Finally, I opened the GUI to run the motor and the motor continuously runs, it doesn't pause for the 5 seconds I set in the step EXCEL file. 2. But when I repeat those steps for the Ankle using "bilateralAnkle" in the config, etc. , the green motor LED is not on, so CAN is not communicating meaning the motor does not move. 3. I then changed the CAN back to the hip to see if it still worked, and it didn't, the green LED was still not on. So my question is, is there somewhere else in the OpenExo folder, other than the SD card config file, that I'm supposed to change? And what might be wrong that the motor doesn't pause when using the GUI?
