JLiu15 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Hey guys, so I'm currently making a MOC that uses the Robot Inventor hub with 6 motors (4x medium angular motors from the 51515 set connected to ports A-D and 2x Control+ L motors connected to ports E and F) and while testing it today I found that after pairing the hub via Bluetooth to my iPad, the hub will shut off after about 30 seconds with no warning. I initially assumed it was the motors being overloaded and the hub's power overload protection was kicking in, but it would shut off even without doing anything. What do you guys think the issue might be? Maybe the battery is low and I need to recharge it? The motors don't seem to be straining or anything, but the light around the power button would turn orange occasionally (I'm assuming that means the battery is overloaded, but correct me if I'm wrong). I was also wondering if it could be that the hub needs a firmware update, but I did update it pretty recently and I haven't got any messages in the app saying I need an update. Any help is appreciated Quote
JLiu15 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) UPDATE: turns out it was just because the battery was low. I did not notice there was a battery icon in the app, but when I did I saw it was at 0% so I charged it to full. My brother charged the hub when it came out of the box...he must've charged it just enough for it to power on Edited January 13, 2021 by JLiu15 Quote
