Help With LiidarBot Functions

lenswerks

Hello Friends,

I Recently purchased a LidarBot and have a couple of questions.

Is the C button on remote supposed to turn on the LED strip?
If so, mine does not - How would I solve this?

Second is the use of C button on Bot - It does not put any options up for the mode. How can I change the mode from remote mode to maze mode?

Do I need to use the Easy Loader for both the Bot and the remote in order to get these functions to work or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks, Donnie Alfonso

@lenswerks Strange behaviour.
Use M5Burner to erase and burn the latest lidarbot firmware.

@ajb2k3 I do not see any Lindar firmware option on M5Burner site. Can I use EasyLoader to burn?

Thanks

@lenswerks Okay found the Lidbot firmware on M5Burner. Published 2023. Not sure why something published in 2023 is going to be more current than what is on a Bot received two weeks ago.

Erased then burned both remote and Bot. Made no difference.

Unable to turn on LED bar.
Unable to display option to change modes.

Anyone else have one of these with recommendations?

Thanks.

@lenswerks You have plugged in the 2 X 12 volt batteries and turned the base on?

@ajb2k3 Batteries are plugged in and button pressed to turn BOT on and can move it around with the remote.

Is there something else on the BOT to turn on other than the chrome push button?

When I move the BOT blue LEDs light and when I first push the push button the while bright LEDs flash on and off.

Thanks.
