New Picar-X v20 w/pi zero 2w servos and motors not working

After completing the wiring, I turned on the hat and the left wheel starting running. I ssh’d into my Picar-X and ran calibrarion.py. No matter which servo was selected (1-3), pressing “r” then w/s to rotate the servo did nothing. The same for the motors, pressing “q” or “e” didn’t affect the motors in any way.

Note: the zeroing servo instructions say “Robot HAT is version V44” that " you can skip this step and simply press the Zero button". So I did skip this with the expectation that once I turn the hat on, I’d press the “Zero” button to zero the servos.

Note: pressing the “Zero” button after turning on the Picar-X appears to have no effect.

I then adjusted the offsets to zeros and the motor to ones and saved the calibration. That resulted in the left wheel no longer running.

Unfortunately, re-running calibration.py still doesn’t enable changing servor orientation or wheel direction.

Running 1.move.py has no effect. When I run 1.move.py, nothing happens and after 10-15 seconds, the scripts completes without any output.

What trouble shooting steps should I follow?

Please take pictures or video of the wiring and operation of the robothat PCB so we can confirm the problem.

Hello and thank you for the response.

I tried uploading a video, but I keep getting a message about new users not being able to upload.

I have two videos, the first shows the wiring from the HAT to the servos, sensors and motors and the other is shorter and just shows that a motor starts running as soon as the HAT is turned on.

The videos are 68MB and 30MB, is the message regarding the file size?

The “can not upload” message was likely due to the large file size. Here’s 1 image of the HAT’s wiring.

Unfortunately, due to being a new member, I can only add one file per post.

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

You can put videos on OneDrive and share the link.

Good suggestion. Thank you.

Sunfounder_Moderator,

If the photos don’t help to diagnose the problem, I’ll follow Weirdyguy’s suggestion and provide you the links.

Thanks

Right, you upload the problem video to OneDrive and share the video link with us to give us access.
We will help you to analyze the problem.
robot hat not connected to pi-zero-2w, robot hat connected to battery and switch on, then connected to motor, will the motor also rotate automatically?
