FlowArm PLTW & Lynxmotion AL5 connection issues

We’ve achieved the construct however are having bother connecting it to the FlowArm PLTW software program to manipulate it. When we plug it in to energy and the USB the lights on the board mild up yellow, inexperienced and purple and the arm strikes in quick jerking motions, however the FlowArm software program can’t “find” the robot.

@dalarasu Welcome to the RobotShop Community! Before powering it again, can you provide a variety of photos of the setup, especially the electronics so we can clearly see all connections? Some areas to really try to show include

  • the connections from the servos to the board (to ensure they’re plugged in the right way)
  • the screw terminals (so we can see they’re the right orientation etc.
  • Top view of the board to check jumpers etc.

Although we’ll see it in the photos, which version of the arm did you purchase? If it’s a variation using the Arduino-programmable BotBoarduino (as opposed to the SSC-32U) electronic board, it’s not compatible with FlowArm.
