Re: servo malfunctioning

Hello, I apologize for your troubles. Would you mind plugging the two faulty servos into a different (known working) servo port on the mePed PCB to verify that you get the same results? I’d like to rule out the possibility of the servo port on the PCB being faulty as opposed to the servos themselves...

Re: Please disregard (sorta) website issue mail

Hi Andy, Thank you for your feedback, I apologize for your troubles downloading the code. I hadn't tested it in IE/Edge so I wasn't aware of the problem. I think the best solution will be for me to put the Arduino Sketch in a Zip file so that web browsers don't try to open the .ino as a plain text f...

Re: mePed structure material

Hello, We buy our MDF at a local lumber yard. Home Depot and Lowes usually carry some MDF as well. Online, Inventables.com sells 1/8" MDF which is very close in size to 3mm. You could also cut the body out of 3mm Acrylic or 3D print the parts. If you're unable to track down a suitable place, we also...

Re: Programming the mePed

Hi Mike, I'm sorry for your troubles! To be honest, I haven't tried out the web interface. Would you mind downloading the full IDE onto your computer and try programming the Arduino on the mePed that way? Please also be sure to select the Arduino Nano controller, select the correct COM Port, as well...

Re: generating binaries

I apologize for the troubles you're having and the long delay in responding! There seems to be an IR Library conflict but it's easy to fix. If you're running windows, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file mentioned in the error message (C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduin...
