Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
1. Basic Restart and Calibration
- Disconnect the Bot from power and close the software.
- Reopen the software, then reconnect the Bot to power and the software.
- Select your Bot, click Calibrate, and test the drawing.
If this resolves the issue, no further action is required.
2. Arm Recalibration via Rotrics Studio
If the pen is still drawing outside the paper holder:
- Download and install Rotrics Studio.
- Open Rotrics Studio and connect the Bot via USB.
- Check for firmware updates. If available, update and retest the Bot.
