Hello. After much time spent building the AL5D robot arm PLTW kit, I am having some problems. Currently I have a blue LED lit on the bridge side of the board of the robot a green LED flashing in the side of 1-15 of the board under box A and an orange LED flashing in the front next to where the USB plugs in for RXI and TXI. When I turn on the FlowArm Software, the robot arm remains lifeless. If I attempt to move the arm in the software there are super small, jerky motions and the blue LED mentioned earlier turns off during the motion. What the heck is going on?
Hi,
When using the FlowArm PLTW software, is the Bluetooth icon active (should be lighted up blue), near the COM port dropdown list (on the right)?
If so, it seems like you may be having a power issue and we recommend that you open a support ticket here.

Sincerely,
I think I am having the same problem. The arm will work and then die, when I try to move the arm on the screen, it sounds like it wants to do something but the lights just flicker really quick and nothing happens.
