Frequently Asked Questions

These are some frequently asked questions from people in my class and myself. These include problems with coding, physically building and things in general, along with a possible solution too.

Why is it not uploading my code?

Make sure to check each line of code, because you have probably missed a semi-colon ; or a bracket. If that is all good, check in tools at the top of your screen that your Arduino nano board is linked properly. It should be connected to the nano board and serial port.

Why does it have an error?

Read what the error is and try to understand what is wrong. Also read what the error is and try to understand what is wrong.

Why does the flexi sensor or micro servo not work?

Double check that the wires are connected to the right pin on the nano board according to your code. And remember that the brown wire goes to the GND pin. (Look back to step 4 for further explanation).

Why does the micro servo keep turning the wrong way?

Just take off the top part and rotate it so the finger is in its normal position.

Why does my code not work?

Maybe compare your code to someone else’s code that does work and see what you have missed.

Why is the nano board not on?

Make sure that the batteries are the right way round, the plus and minus. If it's on the nano board should light up.

The hot glue is setting too fast.

Just let the glue heat up longer before using it, or you can heat the set glue and pick it off with something like a metal wire and start again.
