FAQ

Frequently asked questions across Juxi Technology products, organized by category.


Robot Arms · SO-ARM101

Q: Robot arm port not detected?

A: Run lerobot-find-port to find the port. Confirm USB connections — leader/follower arms on their respective ports. On Linux, grant serial permissions: sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM*.

Q: Getting Could not connect on port "/dev/ttyACM0"?

A: Verify /dev/ttyACM* exists and permissions are granted, then retry.

Q: Magnitude 30841 exceeds 2047 during calibration?

A: Power-cycle the robot arm and try calibrating again.

Q: Servo error ConnectionError: Failed to sync read 'Present_Position' on ids=[1,...,6]?

A: Check that the arm for that port is powered and the bus servos are connected properly.

Q: Motor 'gripper' was not found?

A: Check servo communication cables and supply voltage.

Q: GPU unavailable with PyTorch?

A: See PyTorch Compatibility Issues on Jetson Orin.


Sensors · IMU Module

Q: IMU data drifts badly?

A: Run full calibration first; confirm the module is firmly mounted; add temperature calibration for large thermal changes.

Q: Magnetometer readings off?

A: Run magnetometer calibration — slowly rotate through all orientations during the process, away from motors and magnets.

Q: No data in ROS topics?

A: Check serial permissions (sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB*) and port parameters in your launch file.


Accessories · KWS Speech Recognition

Q: Voice module not responding?

A: Confirm factory firmware is flashed. Unflashed chips need burning first — see Firmware Download & Burn.

Q: No data from serial communication?

A: Verify baud rate matches the tutorial and wiring is correct (RX/TX crossed).


Accessories · Heart Rate & SpO2

Q: Initialization fails (init fail)?

A: Check wiring: I2C address default 0x57; UART baud 9600.

Q: Unstable readings?

A: Ensure good sensor-skin contact; keep the finger still.


Accessories · USB / CSI Cameras

Q: Camera not detected?

A: Check USB cable and ports; run ls /dev/video* and v4l2-ctl --list-devices.

Q: CSI camera not recognized?

A: Check the ribbon cable orientation (metal contacts facing the board), connect only while powered off; verify JetPack ≥ 5.0.

Q: GStreamer pipeline error?

A: Confirm JetPack ≥ 5.0; check apt list --installed | grep nvarguscamerasrc.


Accessories · Others

Q: 4K HDMI capture shows black screen?

A: Verify the HDMI interface type (HDMI/Micro HDMI/DP adapter) and use the right converter.

Q: OLED screen not lighting up?

A: Check I2C wiring (SCL/SDA); pin shorts can damage the host board.

Q: USB sound card not detected?

A: Plug-and-play device; verify USB power; switch the default audio output device.

Q: 2-DOF gimbal servos not responding?

A: Check servo power supply (SCS servos need external 6-8.4V).
