[Myro-users] scribbler responds, fluke does not

[Jay Summet]

That is a weird failure mode that I haven't seen before.

If you are able to communicate with the scribbler (via the Fluke's
bluetooth radio) the fluke is mostly working. (And I don't understand
why it would not send back it's own version number message.)

Did you use the upgrade("fluke") command to upgrade the fluke to the
latest firmware?

And to confirm, you are using myro under python to communicate with the
scribbler/fluke combo?


It is possible that the fluke has a weird problem and you will need to
return it to GRI for a replacement.

The myro-users at myro.roboteducation.org email list is probably the best
place to get simple advice about fluke/scribbler/myro problems.
