Unfortunately I can’t repositioned it, for this part I’ll need to contact the support service.
By the I continued to assemble it, connect to wifi without issue, connect to sunfounder app under Android, command works great but the display of ESP32-CAM shown upside down. Is there any update or modification into code? And now, there’s no image from camera, only works one time…
I found an option into app to inverse the camera. But there nothing about the twerking. When he is in drift mode, there’s only the rear wheels that’s jerk. When drift mode is off, all wheels jerks.
1.Please contact us at service@sunfounder.com, and we will send you a replacement infrared sensor.
2.Is the image displayed by the ESP32-CAM inverted? You can rotate the camera in the controller settings page to correct it (as shown in the image).
3.The camera is not displaying any image? We recommend checking if the camera is properly connected to the expansion board. After successfully connecting to the app, try repeatedly clicking the run/stop function to see if the image can be restored.
4.Experiencing unstable Wi-Fi and frequent app refreshes while searching for a connection? We suggest re-uploading the Zeus_Car.ino code, then reconnecting with the app to check the operational status.
5.The Zeus car shakes when not in contact with the controller? Please provide us with a video of the issue for further assistance.
Thanks for fast answering. For image inverses, I found it on app, but there’s nothing about that into tutorial… For the shaking car, I read a bit in tutorial, I think there a link with the head function that’s suppose to came back in initial position. Perhaps an reinstalling zeus_car.ino can fix it. Another detail into tutorial, when should we put little switch at UPLOAD? It’s only mention when to put at RUN.
When you upload the code, you need to switch the toggle back to the UPLOAD position for the ESP32-CAM connection to avoid any conflicts or potential issues. This ensures that the code uploads without errors. If you still cannot upload the code after switching to the UPLOAD position, it is recommended to disconnect the ESP32-CAM module and then upload the code again. Once the code has been successfully uploaded, reconnect the ESP32-CAM module, switch the toggle back to the RUN position, and press the reset button to start running the program.
I’ve reload zeus_car.ino, there’s no change about the twerking. I changed AP connection to STA, now WiFi is stable. I’ll try to produce a video as soon as possible.
If you are experiencing unstable WiFi connections while using AP mode, which affects normal control operations, it is recommended to switch to STA mode for the connection. Your approach is correct.
I’ve made a video of the issue, same effect when I use app on Android phone and with IR remote. Microsoft OneDrive
I’ve reinstalled zeus_car.ino, calibration done, no change…
I supposed it had a link with carResetHeading, I uncomment each line of command // carResetHeading(). Unfortunately no change. When issue happens I notice the Sled of IR avoidance sensor right(which need to be replaced, part is shipped somewhere between China and Quebec) blink at 50% as if there’s some data communication.
The issue of the car shaking may be caused by interference with the geomagnetic field, leading the program to constantly adjust the car’s heading. Generally, even with magnetic field interference, the car will only oscillate 2-3 times before resolving the issue. You can try calibrating the geomagnetic field multiple times or changing the location.
If you wish to disable the geomagnetic function, please modify the function in Zeus_car.ino as follows:
Sunfounder were explaining the function declaration to swap not the call to it. You’ve accidentally redeclared the function, hence the error message on the second instance.
