New Penguin Clinic - The Doctor for Penguin is in the House!
Just ask your questions and the Penguin Doctor will reply. PM me.
Q - Why does my Penguin act Dyslexic? It should walk forwards but
goes backwards.
A - When the manual was written, original Penguin had J1 and J2
labels on the back side. New Penguins don't have these labels, so
servo connectors are easily mixed up. Just switch the servo plugs
and your sweet Penguin will be back to normal, fully healed!

Follow this photo when
plugging in J1 and J2

Q - My Penguin is confused and doesn't know his directions. Must
he go back to school or is it a case of Alzeimers Disease?
A - Penguin is ok. He only needs a reminder on using his
on-board compass tool. The following link will detail the
calibration procedure.

Q - Penguin has a spasm or twitch at startup. I fear he will sporadically
throw a leg or hurt his back. What can I do?
A - Penguin can compensate for the twitch with code to center servos
and manually massage Penguin according to the following link details.

Q - My Penguin got new PING))) glasses but they keep falling off. What can
I do?
A - Attach a black rubber band around the PING))) glasses and under
Penguin's motherboard. It will firmly hold in place.

We've added a new Penguin Clinic for hospitalizing
and quickly getting sick Penguins back on their feet.

Added a new section for new REVB Penguins. Note
they now message full English, mathematics including
Calculus, and can do punctuation.

Penguin A section - previous programs will be linked
and analyzed for running on REVB Penguins.

As this post becomes long, links will be added.
