Part IV Starter
What should I do if my starter motors are not working
properly
Situation 1 Motor(s) is not turning at all.
Please check:
1.Cable from motor to the main board is connected properly and make sure the cables are
working.
2.If the IR controller or Makeblock App cannot let it move, try to write an online program or
upload a program like below to test:
Remember to upgrade firmware before running an online program.
3.Check if there is anything get stuck in the wheels, like cables. You can turn the wheels in
clockwise or anti-clockwise order to test.
4.Try some new batteries.
5.It may not move if the speed is too slow like 20 or 30. So try speed at 100+.
Situation 2 Starter cannot move straightly (two motors have different speed though set to same
value)
Due to the motors’ installation difference, it is normal that two motors don’t have exactly same
speed. If they differ a lot, please check:
1. If there is anything get in the left or right wheel, like cables.
2. Speed is set too slow that one side moves a little while the other side doesn’t move. So, try a
larger speed like 100.
3. Motors cannot get enough power energy. Try to change the battery or charge the battery.
If the speed of both sides still differs a lot, you may try to adjust the speed to with different power,
like setting left speed as 100, while right 110. Several tests are necessary to get expected result.
