Dead - PoMoCo never brings up its UI

Hexy Questions, Problems and Suggestions
#1

Hi
I assembled my Hexy and decided to forego the additional complexity of Bluetooth and set it up with a USB connection to my MacBook Air.

So I have a 5 cell NiMH pack connected to the “Servo” jack
I have a USB cable to my macbook
and… I have tried with and without an additional 4 cell Alkaline pack connected to the “Logic” jack, which did not change anything

I run PoMoCo.py and get the following:

$ python PoMoCo.py 
Attempting to connect to Servotor
Connect Successful! Connected on port: /dev/tty.usbmodemfa131
initilizing servos
servos initalizied

and I can sit here all day :cry:
after 10 minutes, still nothing. No servo’s even twitch.
To make sure that the servos are still OK I hooked one up to port 3 and it centered.

Any advice and/or help welcome!

Can you try opening up the arduino Serial terminal and typing C? This should center all the servos, and let us know both that serial communication is working and that all servos are working properly.

I found that there’s startup problems with X on my Macbook Air which, looking at GUI.py, is a blocker on startup at the point I am reaching. I’ve resolved those and will give it a shot tomorrow.
