Hi there

I am having issues with my R2 unit. All the app functions appear fine however there seems to be a problem with the right leg. There is no LED lit (the one near foot of leg) and the droid just turns in circles.
I have read a comment above that may help which may be that I have connected the leg wires to the dome/head connector.

Does anyone else have this problem or can anyone shed any light on this?

Any help or assistance will be gratefully received.

Many thanks.

Nick

It sounds like the motor is not working. This may be a connection problem. As I cannot see you R2, can you re check all the cables please, it is a case of elimination.

Make sure the cables are correctly labelled to the correct wire to start.
Then check the cables are located in the mcu correctly.
Check that the connections are pushed in the slots firmly.

If the head is moving correctly in the App mode, then it is unlikly you have it connected in the dome socket.
