I think Frits is referring

I think Frits is referring to your use of text/IM speak. We like easy to read, well written posts. LMR is an international community, and abbreviated tying makes it harder for everyone, especially if English is not your first language.

I do applaud you jumping in to try to help another member. Just do it in clearly written English for everyone’s benefit.

Ah my sincere apologies, is

Ah my sincere apologies, is this better? :slight_smile:

Programming

ok, I bought the LMR bundle and I have built the robot, but when I try to program it, it always say’s that there is an error, either because, it is not powered, it is not connected or it needs a reset.
P.S.I have inserted the batteries and downloaded the USB driver software, etc…

Thank you for your help! :slight_smile:

 

Try to check that all pins

Try to check that all pins of the Picaxe chip is placed correctly in the board. Sometimes I have managed to get one or several pins on the outside of the IC socket :slight_smile:

If this does not help, take many sharp, well lit pictures of your setup, so we can get a chance to help.

Thanks so much! I noticed

Thanks so much! I noticed that I had inserted my IC in a weird way! Now it works!

**I just finished the start here robot **

I just finished the start here robot and its working perfectly fine. I have a small doubt about the program mentioned in the tutorial, is it the same as the one used in the videos? cause i feel its a little different. I’m still a newbee in this field so can you provide me the other program if this i’snt the same. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
