Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your Gearbotics Robot Motorized Set, refer to the following common solutions:
- Robot Does Not Move or Motor is Silent:
- Check if batteries are correctly installed in both the motorized unit and the controller, observing polarity.
- Assegureu-vos que les piles estiguin noves i completament carregades. Substituïu-les si cal.
- Verify that all connections between the motorized unit and the robot's gears are secure and properly aligned.
- Gears Do Not Turn Smoothly or Jam:
- Inspect for any foreign objects or debris obstructing the gears.
- Ensure all gears are correctly meshed and not forced into position.
- Check for any damaged or worn gear teeth that might prevent smooth rotation.
- El controlador no respon:
- Confirm batteries in the controller are fresh and correctly inserted.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the controller and the robot's receiver.
