When changing the J1 reducer on a M10 or M20 robot, it requires unhooking the wiring harness from the base and pulling it through the middle of the J1 joint. In doing so, I will lose power to all my encoders requiring a remaster of all joints. Is there a way to trick J2-J6 so that they can retain their position? Obviously, J1 will be off, but it seems like there should be a way to get the other 5 to play nice since they will be physically identical to where they were before power was removed from them.
I know that I could move joints to their zero position before I turn off power, but that only works well for J4-J6. If J2 & J3 are at their zero marks, the robot is a bit unstable when the J1 is unbolted from the base so I'm uncomfortable with doing it that way.
Thanks
