Robotics Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting Guide

Running into problems with your robot? Check these common issues and quick fixes to get your motors, sensors, boards and code working again.

🔌

Robot Board Not Detected

  • Try another USB data cable
  • Check the selected board and port
  • Install or update the required drivers
💡 Make sure you're using a USB cable that supports data transfer.
⚙️

Motors Not Moving

  • Check motor driver wiring
  • Verify motor control pins
  • Test the motors separately
💡 Motors usually need a separate power source. Check the motor supply first.
📡

Sensor Not Responding

  • Check VCC, GND and signal wiring
  • Verify the sensor pin numbers
  • Test the sensor with example code
💡 Loose jumper wires are one of the most common causes of sensor issues.
💻

Code or Upload Errors

  • Select the correct development board
  • Check the correct COM port
  • Close Serial Monitor before uploading
💡 If uploading fails, disconnect other USB devices and try again.
🔋

Robot Power Issues

  • Check battery polarity and voltage
  • Make sure the motor supply is sufficient
  • Avoid powering too many motors from the controller
💡 If the robot resets when the motors start, check the power supply and motor load.
