10:05 This should be in the manual with this level of detail. Nevertheless, thanks for providing this video. I didn't quite understand how to zero out the servos when I was putting the PiCar-X together, so now I'll have to try and do it after it is fully assembled.
This means that the servo needs to be at 0 degrees before installing it on the car. If the angle is not correct, when the steering gear is set to 0 when the car is started, the steering gear will be stuck. Generally speaking, before uploading any program, after powering on the robot hat, you can plug the servo into the p11 pin, and the default program will reset the servo to 0 degree. If you upload other programs, this default program will lose its effect, or for some unknown reason, this program does not work. You can manually upload a code that sets the servo angle to 0. Enter the block programming interface --> click picar-x in the list --> select the block that sets the servo angle (at the bottom) --> click and drag after finding it and place it in the Forever --> click "Falsh". (Note: If you only supply power to the Raspberry Pi via usb, the servo cannot be driven. You need to power the robot hat through the battery and turn on the switch on the robot hat)
This is completely confusing. I have a PiCar-X. First, the car built here has the Raspberry Pi backwards (USB/ethernet pointed to the center of the car) compared to the drawings in the assembly fold sheet (pointed towards the back). Second, the servos do nothing when plugged into P11 - I read 5V between the yellow and red pins, but nothing happens to them. This is not a well documented kit, and given the videos here, the inconsistency is major problem. Is there a forum somewhere to get help?
SunFounder, does this PiCar-X have information to use the newer Raspberry Pi--5? 🫤 The RPi-5 GPIOs require different coding than the RPi-4. Which SunFounder kit is the best way to go to use the newer Raspberry Pi-5 GPIO pins and OpenCV camera coding??? Thank you.
@@qzorn4440 Hi, We have upgraded the PiCar-X to be compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5. The current version fully supports the Raspberry Pi 5's GPIO pins and OpenCV camera coding. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out!
Do a video of starting it up Can you do a detailed video on just connecting the circuits to the robot hat ? I need a video so I can know where to make my connections. Do I have to do things first with the rasberry pi before I play? Can you do a video on that too
Hi, Rony, as like our other kits or robots, Picar-X also has a detailed tutorial, you may download it on our website, www.sunfounder.com/learn/category/tutorial-picar-x.html Or from our Github, github.com/sunfounder/picar-x
I am able to run the code for LED and Text to speech, but the motors are just not moving. move.py runs and terminates but the motors do not rotate. How can I check if the motor drivers are working?
Make sure all required environments are installed: docs.sunfounder.com/projects/picar-x/en/latest/download_and_run_code.html There is no abnormality when running the program, and the robot hat is powered by the battery instead of the Raspberry Pi usb power supply. If it still cannot be solved, please provide detailed instructions and contact us at support@sunfounder.com with the order number.
What should be done, when the servo callibration faild on P11? I did it like in your video, but nothing happend to the servos, Do you have some Hints for me? Thx :D
@@sunfoundermakereducation8590 How would one proceed to burn a program? This is a Raspberry Pi, or is there another microcontroller such as an Arduino on the hat?
I will ask the technical department to answer your question tomorrow morning. Because it is midnight in China now, I am very sorry that I cannot solve your problem immediately.

hey when i try to connect my picar-x to my phone it wont let me connect it it sais that my picar-x is offline and i dont know how to connect it to my hpone so please tell me how to do it please
1. First make sure that the battery power is sufficient. Because sometimes when the battery is too low, it will not be able to connect to the bluetooth. 2. Confirm whether the network environment is good, whether it is in the same local area network, enter the quick wifi configuration process for the first connection, and whether the input network name and password are correct and consistent with the current WIFI. 3. Confirm when the EzBlock image was burned, and try to re-burn the latest version of the image. 1drv.ms/u/s!AqKAi6T8L7jzkFSRlpZ3C3fAfVzP 4. Make sure that the SD card has the latest version of the EzBlock image burned correctly. Because the wrong image is burned, the WIFI will not be connected. 5. Do you directly connect to the APP as soon as you turn on the robot switch? Because the robot is turned on, but the Raspberry Pi has not been fully powered on, you will fail to connect at this time. When turning on the robot switch, wait for the Bluetooth indicator to be bright before connecting. Is the bluetooth light brighter or darker when you connect? Because the connection will fail when it is dark. If it still doesn't solve your problem, please provide a screenshot and send it to support@sunfounder.com.
@@thegreenskull Regarding the charging time of the battery, it is recommended that you try to test it yourself. There is no standard time for battery charging, because it is related to the capacity of the battery. The larger the capacity, the longer the charging time, which is also related to the use time of the battery.

Please give the code without ezblock. Only play with python.
