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.

Common hardware problems

The following document list common hardware problems and their solutions:

When something happens to the s-bots (French, pdf)

sbot 6

Working

  • Tracks
  • Rotation
  • Camera (bit out of focus)
  • IR Proximity and Ground Sensors

Not working

  • Traction sensor not working at all
  • Gripper. Open close mechanism gets stuck occasionally
  • Accelerometer has tendency to jump to +/- 180 degrees. Otherwise working. Fixable by limiting values.
  • Camera bit out of focus

Comments

  • First generation
