Vortex not functioning.

After about 10 minutes of testing out the Vortex the robot:

1. Makes a high pitched sound.
2. Has no lights on.
3. Spins in one direction every 5 seconds or so.
4. It is seen by the apps, however it is totally unresponsive to them.

Please advise.

Basically, I have three remote controlled wheeled devices. Which was not the purpose of my funding this project.

That suggestion fixed the problems.

The next issue is with the Whendo app, it doesn't seem to work properly.
It takes a long time to transmit the program and then the program doesn't execute.

When I use the scaled down version of Whendo through the Vortex app it actually works in real time. Truly fantastic.

2015-12-24 00:36:41 Do you have ipad at hand? You can download app "whendo". Within whendo, you can reset Vortex by uploading default firmware to make it to default mode. Your vortex looks like under test mode. userHeadPic R2D2C3PO
