When I switch to the External power(switching the switch next to the motors), it works when something is initially close to the sensor, but once you remove the object, the board(motors) act weird by spinning randomly. I started by using 6 X AA holder, then I added a second holder to eliminate power. I am also using the PWM mode of the sensor. Any reasons for this behavior?
Update...When I start the bot in my hand It works when i hold the sensor next to walls, then when I lay it on the ground it behaves erratically. Finally got it to behave while starting on the ground first, even without the second battery pack. Any reasons for this? Motor spikes?
Hi,
There is no individual wiki for this product, but you can find wiki for each part
JaneYu External power~~~ 6xAA is not enough, The motor will exhaust the battery current.
JaneYu I am using FIT0016 motor. Of all the parts that I am using, I calculated the current and it is less than 1300maH. The 2 motors have a stall current of 300mah each. The servo(SER0020) is 350mah stall, The sensor, SEN0001, is < 20mah. that is less than 1000mah, is there anything else that I am missing in my calculations?
