Hello,
I have Turtlebot 3 WafflePi with OpenManipulator-X connected. It was working fine for a few months, but recently it started shutting down immediately after the green power light goes on. I assumed the battery was dead and went to charge it, but the charger was acting like the battery was full.
After re-connecting the battery a few times and more attempts at charging, I got two new batteries and charged them both. Plugged them one at a time into Turtlebot and it was not even starting momentarily.
Can you suggest some steps for further troubleshooting?
Maybe I could try direct 12V power into the barrel connector? In that case can you tell me what type of connector it is, because it doesn’t fit the barrel ends I have in the lab. We have a policy where we can only use standard hardware so I can’t get a power adapter or cable from Robotis.
What if I try direct 5V power into the Raspberry Pi?
Do you think that a loose connection on OpenCR could be causing it? Any connections I should check?
Thank you!
