Revision as of 13:47, 25 April 2006

The goal of this page is maintaining an updated list of the status of the s-bots in IRIDIA For each s-bot, a short list of hardware/software problems should be given. Every time an error/problem occurs while experimenting with the s-bots, it *must* be recorded here.

Quick status update

10 robots in IRIDIA, 3 in Lausanne - 26,22,6

Please check with the meter the battery level BEFORE turning them on. Already 9 and 23 were at around 5 V. , and did "weird" stuff, plus couldnt be accessed by minicom. Maybe battery runs low when unused? We have to talk to Lausanne (Christos)

Common hardware problems

The following document list common hardware problems and their solutions:

The bad recharging circuit has been interverted and put on sbot26. DON'T RECHARGE sbot26, DON'T USE sbot26.

New chargers and robots

Report here a pair of robot / charger where the charger switched to green automatically, i.e. it is safe to leave these charger / sbot combinations overnight.
