Hi, I put together the blimpduino kit but I seem to be having some issues with the behavior the motors and servo. RC mode has been tilting the servo up and down appropriately but the two motors both…Continue

Sorry, I meant DE-SOLDERED. I also tried with another ultra sonic sensor from another blimpDuino kit, and received the same results. Same goes with the other blimp…"

"Well, you must have soldered something or you didn't build the kit ;-)
It's very hard for me to diagnose these problems from afar. There are so many things that could be wrong, from bad solder joints to faulty components. Needless to say,…"

"You shouldn't have removed the solder. That solder jumper determines whether the ultrasonic sensor is read in digital (PWM) or analog (AN) form. When you removed the solder jumper you disabled the ultrasonic sensor.
It sounds like you've…"
Ricardo Colas replied to William Martin's discussion Troubleshooting Blimpduino (B6) control"I'm having similar problems with the servo as well. It only spins in one direction and isn't responsive to changes in altitude. The only time it moves is on start up and when I practically tilt it upside down. Does the same with different…"
William Martin replied to William Martin's discussion Troubleshooting Blimpduino (B6) control"Boy am I confused now. I replaced the motor driver and now the motors are acting very odd. They only spin one at a time and keep alternating between themselves. There does not appear to be any reaction to my RC controls. Any ideas?"
William Martin replied to William Martin's discussion Troubleshooting Blimpduino (B6) control"Well the servo was blown out I guess because it works correctly now after replacing it. I still can't get the two motors to blow at variable speeds though."

Hi, I put together the blimpduino kit but I seem to be having some issues with the behavior the motors and servo. RC mode has been tilting the servo up and down appropriately but the two motors both spin at full speed (I can't seem to slow them down with channels 1 or 2). I noticed there were three pads on the PCB with the labels PW, AN, and JB2 and I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be soldered together or not so I removed the solder. However, now the servo seems to just spin continuously…See More
