I have a motor that will do nothing but turn clockwise when my bot is on without even pressing any buttons. Also my lcd display has stopped displaying anything . I think its problems with my cortex because I will also loose connection after about 5 minutes, but I wanna know what other people think before I take the time to replace everything.
Could you specify what motor on the robot is doing that? Also, could you post your code up because the issue might stem from the code as well.
Doesn’t take that long to replace the cortex if you just do it systematically and don’t debate for 20 minutes about whether or not to do it. I would say just replace it and see what happens.
This sounds like a code issue. If you can post your code it would really help.
Are you plugging the motor directly into one of motor ports 2-9? If so, that would explain the behavior you see.
You need to add a motor controller between the Cortex port and the motor, or (not recommended) switch to port 1 or 10.
It is two motors connected with a Y-cable all it is doing is moving a gear ratio up and down. The main reason I dont wanna replace the cortex is i just got it in November brand new
Is the y-cable plugged directly into ports 2-9 without a motor controller in between? That would cause the issue you are having.
I found it. I added my poteniometer programming forgetting to put it in an if function and I didn’t have my poteniometer on correcct
