Q1: Why I connect the power, the Music Robot will out of control and slide back and
forth.
Answer: Because once you turn on the Music Robot, it will hit the Xylophone by us
Music Robot will play “Brother John” and it will stop play when the music is finished. You
can control by using gestures and up-computer.
Q2: Why the Music Robot Kit slide back and forth, there’s no response of DC Frame
Type Solenoid, it can’t play the music?
Answer:
1. Check if the DC Frame Type Solenoid spring is installed correctly (The smaller side of
spring is upside down, stand up the black spring holder), or check which part get stuck,
try to adjust it by your hand.
2. Make sure the DC Frame Type Solenoid port is connected at the M1 port.
3. Check if the DC Frame Type and Me Orion is wired correctly, if not, tighten it by using
screwdriver.
4. Supply 9V power to connect both sides of DC Frame Type Solenoid, (no positive and
negative difference) and check if the DC Frame Type Solenoid can be attracted. If it can
be attracted, then the DC Frame Type Solenoid indicates no issues.
5. Check out if LED RGB Strip beside the DC Frame Type Solenoid port is turn on while
the hitting section moves to the specified place. If not, then upgrade the firmware. After
update, it’s still don’t work, that means you need to exchange another Me Orion.
Q3: Why plug in the power, the stepper motor will spin on?
Answer: At the very beginning, the stepper motor needs to initialize, when the hitting
section moves to the edge of limit switch, it will stop. If the hitting section won’t stop, then
you need to check if the limit switch has been installed incorrect. You might connect the
limit switch on adapter module SLOT 2, it should connect with port 6 of Me Orion.
