issue with servo-install - nothing happens #9

Open jlrw opened 3 years ago

jlrw commented 3 years ago

I run the code picar servo-install it syas the servo is set to 90 degrees but nothing has moved. Nothing happens. None of the servos move or make any sort of noise. I will continue to construct the car, but I am not hopeful that it will work. I also get all sorts of error messages when I click ctrl-c after waiting for a while -

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/picar", line 11, in load_entry_point('SunFounder-PiCar==1.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'picar')() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/SunFounder_PiCar-1.0.1-py3.7.egg/picar/init.py", line 46, in main servo_install() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/SunFounder_PiCar-1.0.1-py3.7.egg/picar/init.py", line 40, in servo_install time.sleep(1) KeyboardInterrupt

which also seems like it can't be good.

Same problem here, have you found any solution?

Boxed it up and sent it back. Bought a chassis, some motors, and built my own...

Ah, that's unfortunate, actually, my problem was related to batteries, when I ordered new ones, everything is working now.

What's the explanation with the batteries ? My changing device shows me 100% loaded

It's not a malfunction, it's just a bad written python code with the source of misunderstanding. I try to improve it with a pull request https://github.com/sunfounder/SunFounder_PiCar/pull/10
