Need help with starter robot tank

#1

Hello,
I just assembled a Robot Starter Kit (Bluetooth edition) and I can connect to it using my iphone, but I can’t do anything. It doesn’t respond to controls on the iphone and if I try to update firmware it says “Please reset Arduino”. (I don’t know how to reset the Arduino.) Can I get some help please? Thanks

Hello

Please visit
https://github.com/Makeblock-official/mBlock/blob/master/installer/mBlock-All-In-One-v2.1.5.zip?raw=true
to download the mBlock software, then connect your Orion board to mBlock, click the “Boards” and select “Me Orion”, next click “Connect” and select “upgrade firmware”. after that, try again connect to your iphone and check whether it works.

Thanks

BTW @radioouman, see this picture http://learn.makeblock.cc/orion/ The reset button is located in the lower left corner of the board (next to the usb port)

Peter/Michal,
Thank you for your replies. Using mBlock I was able to update the firmware and now the robot works! However it continuously plays a high pitched sound. Do you know how to turn that off?

Just so you know, I am using my iPhone to connect to the robot, and if I update the firmware using the iPhone, the robot won’t work. I have to reprogram using mBlock to make it work. (this is the latest version of the iPhone app.)

Thank you!
Aaron

You can turn off the buzzer by the switch that’s just next to the reset button. Hope this helps. Michal
