I ran into a picrawler battery problem. I have assembled everything and it ran the python scripts well. The only problem is the Pi 5 turns itself off after about five minutes, while the battery indicator on the HAT is still on. Has anyone encountered this problem? It’s really frustrating that I have spent all these hours assembling it and now it has to be plugged all the time! Appreciate your thoughts!
I think the batteries aren’t fully charged. In the package they are about 25 - 50% charged. Charge them a couple of hours and try again.
Hey David, thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I tried that and it didn’t work. But I think I figured it out how to fix it. I ran into some installation error at the beginning (installing all the modules). So I re-ran all the installation again and saw no error. Now my crawler is twisting and avoiding obstacles for more than 5 minutes!
