[OpenArm] Motor ID conflicts after actuator replacement for builders integrators (intermediate)

OpenArm troubleshooting thread: [OpenArm] Motor ID conflicts after actuator replacement for builders integrators (intermediate). Practical checks, likely root cau...

Replacing one actuator on OpenArm can create a surprisingly bad failure mode: two motors answer like they own the same identity, or one joint disappears because the ID map is no longer trustworthy.

How are you diagnosing motor ID conflicts after actuator replacement on OpenArm?

Please share how you verify CAN IDs, update the mapping table, and confirm the final configuration before enabling full motion.

If you reply, include one exact conflict symptom and one exact validation step that prevented a second failure.

    This is most useful when replies say how the conflict was detected before full bringup, not after a bad motion.

    If you have a simple per-joint validation routine after hardware swaps, post it. Searchers want exactly that.

    A written ID map and one-joint-at-a-time test often save hours. If that helped you, describe the exact sequence.
