= Troubleshooting Robots = === Dog hangs when it boots, and its legs are stuck in the air when it hangs (about to stand up) === Check the wireless switch is "on" on the underside of the dog === It plays music on boot === The dog will always play a short tune on startup. This is normal. There are four extra tunes the dog might play on startup: * If it starts up normally it will play another short tune. * If it plays 5 notes in decreasing pitch then the memstick is bad. Get a new memstick. * If it plays approx 8 notes then the battery is flat and needs to be replaced. * If it plays an extra 11 notes (ie: approx 19 notes) then your C++ code is broken. Fix it. === The dog doesn't seem to be running my behaviour code (pBlah.py) === If the filename has a number in it, like pAss1.py, it will silently not be written to the flash card, but nothing will be said at all. Don't use numbers in your filenames! === In general === * Ask somebody, send a class/team email. * Read faq in the "notes" directory, lots of useful information. * Post a message on the openr (http://www.openr.org) message board. Other robocup teams may answer you. * Remember not to use the ears for debugging or other purposes, otherwise the robots may damage. Previously ears were used for vision ball debugging. Now the head indicator is used.
