Hi all
Advise if possible.....
My R2D2 after a few teething problems appears to be working as it should, with the exception of a couple of points.
Upon initial start up, it displays the red LED and jerks forward, however the head does not rotate.
I have connected the R2 to the WiFi etc and no issues! The head rotates when I use the app controls, however it will not shake it head or randomly rotate its head during patrol mode.
Can anyone out there offer any explanations?
Many thanks

Can you double check all your labels are correctly placed on the wires as you may have a couple reversed.

Appreciate the suggestion.
I have tried doing as you said, and all appears correctly labelled.
The strange thing is that when it is connected via the plug charger, it does rotate its head upon start up. It just doesn't do it when its not plugged in.

I have this exact same issue.

We’re you ever able to resolve it?
