When starting my ROSbot, the L1 LED keeps blinking suspiciously (4 long blinks, 4 short blinks, repeatedly). It does not stop at any time: should I worry about this?
The system seems to boot normally: I can connect screen+keyboard to it, or ssh to it. I recently did apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade to see if that led to improvement, the blinking remains as it was. Also, I just fully charged the batteries: same result.
Can you move the robot? If the flashing frequency is around 1/2 Hz, it may indicate a firmware problem. Either the board is stuck, or a memory leak has caused something to go wrong.
I suggest performing:
rosbot.flash or ./flash_firmware.shThe default state of LED L1 is no light when there is no communication (rosbot driver is turned off) or it lights up constantly (when communication has been established)
I ran the flash script and L1 is back to normal. Thanks!
