TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Mechanical Tips

Husky’s wheels can handle a range of different terrains, but work best when inflated to the
proper pressure. Lower tire pressures, for example 10 psi, ensure better traction in rough and
varied terrain, where rocks or other obstacles may be encountered. This has the adverse effect
of lowering drivetrain efficiency and decreasing battery life, so high pressures up to a maximum
of 20 psi should be used when driving on flat surfaces.

Troubleshooting

This section lists a few possible issues which may be encountered:



The blue light around the power button does not display when pressing the power button.
Ensure that the battery is charged and correctly connected. Use a multi-meter to verify the
voltage on the battery terminals.



Comm light stays red/flickers. Your program may not be sending motion commands faster
than 10Hz. If there is a poor quality connection, some commands may be lost, so it may be
necessary to increase the frequency of commands sent. The maximum frequency

commands can be sent is 50Hz



E-stop light illuminated. Twist the red e-stop to release it, and confirm that the robot is not

locked out.



Battery indicator flashing. Battery voltage is too low for Husky to drive the motors. Charge
the battery and try again.

If you experience setup issues that aren’t listed here, or the suggested solution isn’t working
