Review: Insufficient details to use, verify wiring on power cable - The pictures don't match what shipped. The voltage doesn't match the 280 Pi supply. The power was wired backwards. Cannot seem to make it turn on. A more direct guide to the interface requirements would be greatly appreciated. Update: I confirmed I blew it up. I needed this to work for a demo I'm doing, so I bought another one. The other one came with the cable wired the correct way (as pictured here), so it seems to be a fluke of the first one I bought, but the device ended up dead because of it.
Review: Programming communication - The Myblockly software would only communicate and perform the movement 40% of the time. Also, the mycobot gripper produces 4 position nodes when myblockly is only looking for 3. Therefore, another communication issue. When saving the json program; be sure to manually add the .json at the end of your naming.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can I find a tutorial for myCobot280?**
A: myCobot280 has a lot of tutorials and examples, due to the large file size so we do not provide paper files, you can search the internet for myCobot280 Gitbook and get electronic tutorials.

**Q: Can't click on run myblockly, how to fix it?**
A: This is because the serial port is busy, which prevents you from clicking the Execute Run button. You need to check if the serial port is busy using the Serial Port Tool.

**Q: Where can I find the myCobot 280 source code?**
A: The myCobot 280 source code can be found on GitHub, and you can download and modify it as needed.

**Q: My robot is having connection issues. The LED on the Atom screen is off and not respond to any commands. How can I fix?**
A: If the Raspberry Pi is functioning, but the issue is with the Atom, pls reflashing the Atom firmware should resolve the problem.

**Q: I want to use Cobot for ros-rviz, but can't find the myCobot 280 URDF file?**
A: We provide the myCobot 280 URDF file on github, you can also find it here.
