3.3V pin is not connected well!
I soldered it again and saw motors run.
Thanks,
Not to time-spend like me.
What I did to check I2C devices here, I ran i2cdetect -y 2.
However, it was wrong, we use I2C bus 1 here.
And, when you run i2cdetect -y 1, it would not return at all.
Hi! I have the same problem with not moving engines. Can you tell me more where were problems with connection? What have I to solder again? I have JetBot kit (with board) from Waveshare.
It seems like the wire problem. I just plug/unplug that 6pins wires several times and it works. You can remove the battery and just check the short circuit of each 6 pins between two boards.
Finally I got it. Thanks to a colleague of mine, who fixed the problem of the wiring (see picture). He meassured the 6-pin plug and the blue wire did not operate.
I learned: if the OLED-Display works, the motors will do even so.
Hello !
I have the same problem with my jetbot. My OLED-Displays works well but motors are still not working. Can you explain in details how you fixed it please.
Be shure to use: jetbot_image_v0p4p0.zip
Forget about i2cdetect -y 2 or i2cdetect -y 1, this has nothing to say.
Forget about broken jetson board or motor control board, they are quite solid.
As you see my colleague used new wires and plugs, to solve the problem.
He is a good technician, maybe you have to go and find someone with experience in soldering.
Don’t give up, y o u are the human!
Hi ESM_14, have you found the issue ?
I have the same issue : Waveshare Board Display working, Wifi communication with PC working and I can access the Jetson through Webserver / Notebook but nothing happens when I run the basic Moving example, robot is not moving…
No I dind’t find the issue. I install the jetbot_image_v0p4p0.zip but I still not moving unless the rest (Wifi, Waveshare Board Display,…) is working well.
I think it could be hardward problem and the solution proposed by theaterfuchs (Jetbot motors are not moving! - #9 by theaterfuchs) might works.
Thanks for your reply!
I fixed the issue! Basically the motors were not correctly connected at the back of the waveshare board. The connections between Jetson board and Waveshare were actually ok (tested with Multimeter)
I loaded the batteries with the 12,6 V charger without disconecting the Jetson board.
Even I once loaded batteries during Jetson board running – and it worked.
Hi,
My jetbot kit from waveshare is not working, I have checked all wires/pins to make sure they carry and work. The display turns on, and I get no errors when I run the three lines:
from jetbot import Robot
robot = Robot()
robot.left(speed=0.3)
and get no movement.
I also have run both i2c checks, with motors plugged in and unplugged. Both times, they have returned as such:
jetbot@jetson-4-3:~$ i2cdetect -y 2

I had the same issue. I used the setup from the NVIDIA Jetbot Wiki and motors for the Waveshare kit did not work. Needed to delete the jetbot folder and then run using Waveshare setup:
