Weird Behaviour of Boe Bot

whatsap45

As titled, i encountered strange behaviour from boe bot. The buzzer beeps first, then it keeps moving forward for 1sec and stops for 2 sec and buzzer beeps and it continues moving forward again for 1sec and so on. I have re-programmed a lot of time and replaced it with fresh batteries but the problem still persist. Basically, no matter how i program it, it keeps doing the strange behaviour.

Anyone, pls help me!!!

Please post your code.

If that buzzer is one of your first commands in your program and is only supposed to execute once, then it sounds like your Stamp keeps resetting, possibly from low batteries or incorrect wiring causing a short or excessive current draw. Post code & video if possible.

Sorry for the late reply.

Run the program with the cable attached (hit run in the editor) and let the robot drive around. Does your "Programming is running!" message repeat?

whatsap45

Yes, exactly. The "Program is running!" keeps repeating before/after the beep and the wheels follow next. What is the problem?

Stamp is resetting from low power. Weak batteries or a short circuit somewhere. Remove all parts (piezo, LED, etc) from the breadboard and try again with fresh batteries. Once it works properly, add your parts back in one by one carefully and retest every step.

Thanks erco, i bought new batteries for the replacement of the old one. Problem solved.
