Boe-Bot jerks spontaneously with MSRS

Trevor Taylor

I have only seen one post that referred to this particular problem I am having, and there was no answer.

Has anyone else seen a problem with a Boe-Bot and Microsoft Robotics Studio where it will for no apparent reason just jerk the left wheel servo?

You don't even have to be sending it commands at the time, and it is not on a regular basis (I timed it). I suspect it is a bad packet, but I tried to look through the code and I can't see why it would produce this result or just affect the left wheel. It's really strange.

Any suggestions?

That was my post !
Sorry for the late response.
Not much free time to work on robotics.
Working as a volunteer at the local H.S.
After some work with matching the timing for my motor drives ,I found out that I had a speed mismatch.
Calibrated the speed for the left and right motor. The problem is solved.

Are you talking about the original calibration that is required to balance the wheels so they don't turn? I have done that.

Is it maybe a very small error in my calibration that is resulting in the servo eventually giving the wheel a nudge?

I would appreciate more explanation if possible.

Thanks,
Trevor

Trevor,
I also have battled with the same problem, I have abandoned the work with MSRS and moved on to a RF project, then moving up to bluetooth with my robot project.
There seems to be to many bugs with MSRS and there is really no support from microsoft.
