Hello eldaria, Some buzz is okay. Sometimes when a servo is trying to set to a specific point it will buzz if there is resistance on it. Make sure you did the servo centering step correctly before attaching the gripper arms. When in the default position with the arms open, they shouldn't press again...

Hey guys. I'm trying to get some Pi code up soon. It's pretty easy to do once the code is there. Been busy trying to get the robots out.

I had pretty good luck with the little screwdriver included with standard eye glasses repair kits. Most of the stores around our area have them and they're fairly inexpensive.

Hello chenhao, That does sound strange. I've sent you an email - can you reply to that email and include a zipped copy of the sketch folder (the folder including the sketch and supporting files)? I'll have a look here and see if I can get to the bottom of it. It's been a while since I looked at that...

I wanted to add a few more notes on this... this is a paste of a response I just sent to a user via email that discusses this. You are correct that slight tilt differences will be seen as movement because the accelerometer is picking up the acceleration of gravity which of course is a constant 1G st...

I've always been a bit confused about the low level details of the navigation functions. They were written by a friend a while back. I'm hoping to be able to go over them in detail soon as we'll be using the same code on the new Spirit rover. If you can send me some actual code examples I'll try to ...

Hello Brooke,
