[SO-101] Calibration after servo replacement for educators schools (beginner)

SO-101 discussion on recalibration after servo replacement, zero position checks, safe first motion, and classroom maintenance workflows.

A frequent SO-101 maintenance question is what happens after a servo swap: the arm powers on again, but nobody is fully confident the geometry and zero positions are still correct.

How are you recalibrating SO-101 after replacing a servo, especially in classrooms where the next user may not be the person who did the repair?

Please share how you verify zero position, safe first motion, and what minimum checks are required before the arm goes back into class use.

If you reply, include one exact post-replacement symptom and one exact calibration or validation step that solved it.

    This is particularly useful when replies explain how a school or lab hands off a repaired arm safely to the next operator.

    If you use a step-by-step post-repair checklist, share it. Searchers usually need that more than theory.

    A good answer will say how you confirm success before a full task run, not only how you replace the part.
