Constructive comments
The mounting bracket for the X-Stepper: It is very easy to strip the threads in the stepper body; I had to use Locktite to hold the screws, I expect they will work themselves loose due to the vibration of the stepper.
The X-Axis idler 3D printed plastic pulley: The bearing fit very loosely, and the captured nut socket was so loose that the locknut didn't hold and spun in the socket. I wedged a piece of plastic in with the nut to hold it while I tightened it up. The Arduino board mounts: If you mount the Arduino as illustrated, the board sits directly on the clear plastic base. This places the USB connector such that you cannot connect a USB cable when the board assembly is mounted to the left foot. All in all the assembly was straightforward; I love the design of the belt anchors, they work perfectly. Unfortunately, my board is not working at all and I needed to disassemble the Arduino module to allow me to connect the USB cable and re-program it. That has not solved the problem of a blinking yellow light. I see in the code there is a #define DEBUG 0 statement commented out. I would like to use the serial port to see the debug messages to determine where the system is in the initialization. If I set the DEBUG parameter to 2 and plug the USB and power cable in will I be able to see the debug messages in the serial monitor on the IDE? Thanks for an intriguing kit, I look forward to seeing it work. |

Hi! Thank you for your comments :-)
Some questions: Did you strip the threads of the 6mm bolts? Could you send us a photo of the nut socket+bearing please? Yes, the USB connector can not be reached easily after assembling the electronic case. We will take a look to that. Regarding your issue: Can you see the iboardbot WIFI signal after connecting the power supply to the Leonardo? If not, could you send us the code you will find on the back side of the Brain Shield please? Yes, you should see the debug messages activating the DEBUG MODE. Just connecting the USB if enough to check the Arduino starting up sequence. Keep us updated please |

No, Actually I discovered the screws were too short to go through the X- Axis stepper motor bracket and have enough to hold. I checked the threads in the stepper and they are OK. I will try 8mm long screws to get over the slightly thick bracket (see attached picture) |
