Hello,
I followed Rex's Grove Starter kit and then decided to add a little bit more complexity to it to do more interesting things. I have the rotary sensor controlling the servo. The code itself works great for a while until it eventually crashes. Full symptoms are: Program stops responding to analog input, followed by the wifi appearing to shut down temporarily.
I have attempted increasing the detection to every .25 seconds, which made the issue worse. Decreasing the time to .05 seconds seems to work better-ish. I use cylon.js.
every((.05).second(), function() {
var nAngle = parseInt(robo.rotary.analogRead() / 5.6);
var aDelta = nAngle - robo.servo.currentAngle();
if(aDelta > 7 || aDelta < -7 && nAngle > 5 && nAngle < 175)
{
robo.servo.angle(nAngle);
}
});
I have the analog connected to A0 and the servo connected to D3. I currently have nothing else connected. The switch is set to 5V. It seems to die immediately on 3v3.
Any ideas what the issue might be? Do I need more power?
