Tech Support:
Why am I getting the error “state : waiting for odrives” on the web control page when bot_ctrl.py is launched as a systemctl service per the instructions provided?
I assembled and configured my BotWheel Explorer kit following the instructions exactly.
https://odrive-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/releases/docs/tuz5Eoq9jgCRICZVXLGZca10l1WFnisS_t3Vbhu9smQ/guides/botwheel-explorer.html
It works as described when I manually start the demo script bot_ctrl.py but I am getting the waiting error AFTER I set up the auto start systemctl bot_ctrl.service to run the same script. I removed the SSL flag and still getting the same error.
I checked the CAN bus wiring and found no problem.
I suspect there is a CAN BUS initialization or timing problem during the service startup.
Please advise. Thank you.
Charles
