Why Do My Robot's Servos Go Crazy When Downloading Program?

AI Thread Summary
The robot kit utilizes four servos controlled by a micro control board, with basic programming provided by the compiler. Initial programming steps, such as centering the servos, were successful. However, an error message stating "incorrect file path" occurs when attempting to operate all servos simultaneously. Despite a 100% download indication, the servos behave erratically upon powering the robot. The issue may stem from the file path, potentially due to punctuation, spelling, or whitespace errors. The compiler's accuracy suggests that the problem lies in the file path rather than hardware or power issues.

I have a robot kit, the robot uses four servos to walk, controlled by a micro
control board, the basic control programs come with the compiler, the first
stages of programing, "centering the servos", went ok, but the next stage
which should operate all four servos at once to a set position, does not
work, i get an error message, "incorrect file path", when down loading to
the micro board, a down load bar shows 100% down load, but when the
bot is switched on the servos go crazy, the batteries are well charged , can
any one tell me why i get this message please.

easy.. check the file path. it could be as simple as punctuation, or spelling, or whitespace.

the compiler does not lie.


BTW, at first glance I thought you said you have a root kit

I thought "no way is anyone going to help you" :-P
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
