In Basic Assembly and Setup
I've fixed the previous issue where I was not correctly using the serial console, but I'm still having issues with servo calibration. I ran the testServo app - Only servo 0 did anything - even though the serial output showed a long range of numbers, the stepper only ticks for 13 steps when the range of numbers crosses zero - when the first digit is 139.66 through -139.66 (inclusive). When run calibration from WriteInstinct, all of the servos move a few ticks then stop. I've measured 7.8v coming in from the batteries - Have the NyBoard set to V_S<->BATT. Should the testServo app work out-of-the-box with the v2 NyBoard and Kickstarter default servos?

When I try to run the WriteInstinct.ino for first time setup, it only prompts me to reset the settings. I dont get any further prompts and cannot enter `c` to start calibration. The instructions are a bit dense, did I miss some other setup stage? More information: I'm running off of batteries - both yellow and blue lights are solid. I have tried with the jumper set to BATT-V_S and V+-V_S. I have checked that all servos are plugged in and the polarity is correct for a V2 board (brown lead against motherboard). I ran the ServoTest - Only servo 0 did anything - even though the serial output showed a long range of numbers, the stepper only ticked for 13 steps. Tried switching from ARD to PI (I do have a Pi, but will not add it until later) I've updated the first line in Instinct.h to indicate it's a v2 board: #define NyBoard_V0_2 This is the serial output (when prompted, I typed `Y` and pressed `send`) * Change the "V0_*" in "#define NyBoard_V0_1" in Instinct.h according to your NyBoard version! * OpenCat Writing Constants to EEPROM...

I've discovered that if you solder headers onto D8/D9/D10/5v/GND on the Nyboard for future ' sonar' sensor use, the headers interfere with part of the body juuust enough that the mounting holes no longer align. I'll try and shave a bit off with a dremel. (yes, I know I'm missing the header on D8 in the pics below)

I just got my kit today (huzzah!) I did not find any B screws in it though. So far, everything else seems to be there. The board with the shanks on it had tape, but I don't recall any blocks with the screws set in them. I just dove right in and started assembling, so I don't have any good pics of the raw pieces other than the attached. Also, small bit of feedback - the sanding block was just a little too inadequate to sand all the pieces down for me. Can I just roll with 220grit sandpaper? There is a green "2" written on one end of the priority mail box the kit came in. Order #826
