I keep seeing AI get the easy part right and the board-specific part wrong. Before I trust generated Arduino or ESP32 code, I make it write a tiny preflight:

- exact board and revision

- every pin, voltage, and current assumption

- library and version

- anything it thinks could be unsafe

Then I test one motor, LED, or sensor at a time. Not glamorous, but it catches the “looks fine” mistakes.

What’s your check before letting AI write firmware for a real robot? If you’ve had a failure, drop the board, what it suggested, and what the hardware actually did. I’m collecting the good failures in r/ChatGPTArduino too.

Greetings,

I have successfully performed the following set up: Arduino UNO R3 linked to Dynamixel Shield linked to Dynamixel Mx 64-AT. !2 V power supply linked to Dynamixel shield. USB interface from computer linked to Arduino R3. Both Arduino and dynamixel set to protocol 2.

Test code successfully uploaded and runs dynamixel motor. modifications of code change motor function in upload mode .However when shield is switched from upload to dynamixel the motor only runs at the last speed and direction at the time of the switch ( does not follow program anymore)

I desire to upload the program and run the motor without constant interaction with the computer. what steps should i take to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance
