Starter robot. dosent work even in manual


#1

I have a blue starter robot kit from make block. It dose nt go. Appears to be fine connections checked and swiped around.
I have lights… To wit.
1 x red Led on proximity sensor at front.
1 x red 1 x blue LED on board by USB. (wither USB connected or not)
1 x red LED on IR receiver. (plus a blue LED when I push a button on the remote). So remote is working that far.

I have no idea what I should get at this point as it no diagrams of correct power up seems to be available.

I am a mac user with the latest version. I have Arduino I have M block. I don’t seem to be able get Mbot to down load through iTunes. But I am happy to get the manual functions going before I look at that.

I have tried to update the firmware. but have not much idea how. I get various error messages. It looks like it thinks the robot is not connected. but it is.

please help. Before I return it in disgust.
thanks

The instructions connect the IR sensor to port 3. Try port 6.
