I built a 2nd robot and BLE didn't work. I found a bypass cap was crooked and touching the crystal cap. I moved it and viola, BLE started working. Then the left motor wasn't working. After much looking, I saw a header pin had reflowed solder into a via. So the step pulses where going into the config signal. Config was supposed to be constant high for indexer mode on the motor driver IC. I then sucked up the solder with braid, and suddenly the wheel came to life. I then put the shell on, and then the left motor stopped working again. Now it wiggles. This means one of the two coils is not being energized. I am kind of tired of fixing stuff at this point. Plus I need to have fun, but I am having trouble letting go of making this all work, and then taking off and going motorcycling or Karting.

Wednesday I go to the robot club. These are guys that build robots, not buy them.  But I see if there are software only guys who want robots. Then off to Robogames next weekend, for same thing. I will try and build an email list. Makerfaire is okay for selling robots, but it is a month away and net 30 terms, which means I might not get paid for a month for the robots I sell. Man, not optimal at all.
