Robot Movement
Fix anything preventing your robots from moving
If your robots aren't moving when you start the system, make sure all the motors are hooked up properly to receive power and communication. Anvil's metrics (see System Metrics) provide invaluable debugging information, so you can narrow down where any issue may lie. Here are a couple example issues and their presentations:
One of the arms isn't moving at all
The "read" AND "write" rate is 0hz for all motors on the non-moving arm
The arm was plugged into the wrong USB port on the Anvil Devbox
The wrist on one of the arms isn't moving
The "read" CAN rate is 0hz for motors 6, 7, and 8
The cable in motor 6 has come loose
There is no image data
Instead of displaying 4 camera streams, the Web App reports that cameras "Failed to Load"
The cameras were plugged into the wrong USB ports on the Anvil Devbox
