This is what the comply window return me . After waiting and press comlying again.

I already uninstall and re install my Arduino sketch .

That error message seems to say that you either don’t have have the right COM port selected, or there is something wrong with the way the COM port is configured/used on your computer.

Can you check the Tools -> Serial Port menu to ensure you have the right port chosen? If you have multiple options, can you try other ones? If that still doesn’t work, can you upload a screenshot of your Arduino IDE?

thanks,

63

Hi Jar, you are exactly right. So I changed the com port from 6 to 4 and my first code worked :slight_smile: ( lol I was speechless.

64

Great, glad to see that it works!

65

Thank you very much Jar. I have another issue sorry.

Working late on my robot. I forgot to close my Advance control window in Sequencer and the program went freeze.

Restart my laptop, connect my robot. Everything seen fine until i try open the Sequencer window and this message pop up " An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine" and it went freeze after.

I uninstall the program, re-install , restart the laptop, the program still send back the same error message, please help. I should not work so ate and make this stupid mistake. Now I cannot on my project.

66

Hmm, we’ve never seen that error since 2006… Here’s what we recommended back then:

If that doesn’t fix it, we also found this article for another program that seems to have the same problem: can you try to do the following, except step 10 is reinstall the SEQ Visual Sequencer?

If that doesn’t work, we’ve also found these articles that might help:

Hope this helps,

67

I have try all those step last night too. Thank you tho.
I even try to refreshing the system. ( I have windows 8). So then all the programs was uninstall. I reinstall sequencer, then I try to instal BDE which I didn’t haven’t to before. Still not working same message back.

Do you think if I restart to manual factory status would bring everything back normal ? Thank Jar.

68

So I restart my laptop to factory and re install sequencer and it work.

I just have to re instal all program that I had before but I live Visual Sequencer so much it overweight the work.

Yeah I can work on the robot tonight again.

Hello Jarcand , please say hi to everyone for me. It has been a while so I decide to bring everybody my project update.

In this video, RRR arm demonstrate the IK working. The Ultrasonic sensor return distance and the angle that servo looking at, to convert to the distance and the angle of Object relative to Arm not sensor. And use the convert input to do the IK to return the angle for RRR arm to execute task.

Therefor the Arm for RRR is semi complete, I am just waiting on the track and the rotation base from lynxmoition, so I can complete the final part for RRR’ arm and Rover navigation.

Miss you all, I am just so busy with school and exam, I just start work on RRR for the last weed and my grade drop about 7%, :frowning:

School is very important so ensure that’s your focus for the moment :slight_smile:

71

Yes sir. LOL I just wish that I got pay to build robot already. But to get there I have to graduate first, hmmmmm. I have learn and understand trigonometry more by working on the IK ( Invert Kinematic) code for the arm. One day I will go to New York to pay everyone a visit with RRR. >"<. Spring break is next week so I am super excited cause I can work on the RRR battery module . :smiley:
