Report a problem

Pick the kind of problem; each goes to the place where it gets fixed.

A mistake in the documentation

At the end of every page:

  • Edit it on GitHub opens the page's source in the documentation repository. Fix the text and open a pull request; no local setup needed.
  • Report it opens a new issue with the page's title and address already filled in. Say what is wrong and, if you know it, what it should say.

A bug in the runtime (the control box software)

Open an issue in the runtime repository: Source-Robotics/RCB-Runtime → Issues.

Attach the support bundle (Dashboard → Logs → Support bundle): it holds the logs of every process, the activity log, the incident recordings around any fault, and your configuration files. Without it, the first reply will ask for it.

Also state:

  • the runtime version (Dashboard → System Info → Versions, or the manual's landing page),
  • the drive firmware version shown there,
  • the control box PCB revision,
  • what the robot was doing (mode, program, command), what you expected and what happened.

A bug in the motor driver firmware

Open an issue in the firmware repository for the driver type (joint drives or the gripper drive) and attach the same support bundle: the runtime logs show what the drive reported. Say which firmware version is flashed (Dashboard → Motor tab).

A hardware problem

Write to petar@source-robotics.com with photos, the arm's serial number and revision (the label on the base), and the support bundle if the robot was running.

A safety concern

Anything that could injure someone: stop using the robot and write to the e-mail address above with "SAFETY" in the subject. Do not wait for an issue to be answered.
