Robot Not Moving
Using the latest version and the correct motors. Inputting a 2S lipo battery (8V) into Vin side and using the jumper to have the motors run on the same power. Multimeter on the motor power pins shows the voltage is correct.
Software loads in the client browser as it should but even showing connection and packets moving back and forth via Hz update the motors are not moving at all.
Is there some trick to having the robot work or where I can see what the left and right inputs can be sent to the serial monitor?
I just committed a change to enable debugging to the serial monitor.
Please change line 32 of BattleBot-Control.ino from:
#define PRINT_TO_SERIAL_MONITOR false
to this:
#define PRINT_TO_SERIAL_MONITOR true
Hopefully this will help you determine whether the software stack is working correctly. Also, what type of phone are you using (OS, version, browser, etc)? People have had success with a large collection of iOS and Android devices, but we have hardly been exhaustive in our testing.
