Hey all,

First time poster. Son just took a week long arduino MeArm building robot class. He's 9 years old. He loved it!

I know absolutely nothing of Arduino. We want to make his robot work. I downloaded the Arduino IDE(?) and uploaded a program I found on the web for the mearm robot. It worked, but it's now 'stuck' in the program. The robot is in a position such that its trying to move but cannot. I unplugged the usb but when I plug it back in it just does the same thing. How do I 'turn off', or get rid of the program?

Can anyone recommend where to go to get a program for the robot? It currently has to be controlled via an app, or pc as it does not have the POTS wired in.

Appreciate any help. FWIW, I have tried several different things to no avail. Thats why I'm here.

Thanks,
Ron

You can erase the current sketch by uploading a new sketch to the controller.
Example, upload the above sketch.

Ok by timing hitting the reset button on Arduino board and uploading I got it to work.

Thanks!

Check the manual on how to get the robot arm's Arduino to program mode. Then you can upload new sketches.

Also make sure your IDE is set correctly: board type, USB port, upload speed.
