Hardware Issues

GoPiGo

Hey Brian,
How are you powering the GoPiGo. Is it with 8AA batteries or some other source. Also, when you mention that wheels are externally stopped from turning and power is still applied to them, how are you doing that. Is that just the GoPiGo stalling when it encounters the obstacles or are you holding the wheels when full power is applied to the motors.

Yep - we use 8AA batteries.
I suspect that the GoPiGo is encountering objects with power still applied to the wheels.
With 6 cars going all over the Learning Space, it’s hard to keep track of them all.
Regards,
Brian
