Just setup my Roli - quick and easy. Setup Wii controller no problem. Wifi is good and I can do the sample movements like dance and wave. All charged up. I have the ports setup as instructed and I entered the port summary. For the life of me I cant get the robot to move with ARC or the wii remote . I've used the Roli sample project and saved it as a new name. I'm sure I've missed something that is very simple but I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated - can't wait to see it move!
Thanks - Steve
I have the exact same issue. Just does not move
.
Also seen a bit of smoke when I first tried it. Did you experience anything like that?
@Stephenhoey... Have you checked the wiring of the Hbridge to see if it is wired correctly? I believe there is an online tutorial here on how to wire up the HBridge...
@all_your_robot_r_belong_to_us ... Check your wiring before trying again... there should be no smoke at all
Following this lesson should answer the problems.
The connections need to be as follows, these all connect to the white pin of the digital port
Then connect the 2 wire connector with the red and black wires to D0 making sure the red wire is on the red pin and the black wire is on the black pin.
You should end up with something like this;
If you are unsure, please take a photo of your connections and post it here, we can verify it is correct (usually very quickly too so there wont be much of a delay in getting you going by doing this).
hi thanks all, wired correctly - absolutely no smoke. that does not sound good.
is there a better model I should use for the roli or should I be using the example one. not sure if that even has the programming in it to move anything. the instructions get you up to setting everything up but as far as movement I am not seeing any instructions.
if I remap the hbridge controls to let say an arm servo I can move it. for example but I'm sure that's if I make left trigger "D14" I can now move it very slowly - does not seem right.
Are you using the latest version of ARC and using the latest Example Project for Roli?
There should be a H-Bridge Movement panel. It should be configured as my last post.
Be aware, you must set the speed with the PWM before you attempt to move it otherwise the default PWM of 0 will be applied and nothing will move. If the speed slider is already at maximum drag it down and back up to set the PWM.
Oh also I did not mention - when I use the hbridge sliders I can hear a slight buzzing in the roli - but it does not move.
OK - Seed set to 0 sounds like the problem. that's why I hear it buzzing. Where do I change the speed?
It seems that when I run the init it is automatically setting the speed to 100
