Wally Revival: An AI Robot Buddy Reborn from the Ruins

🔄 Wally Revival — From Ruins to Rebirth

🩺 Three Steps of Fault Diagnosis

Step 1: Hardware Checkup 🔌

• Multimeter to check if supply voltage is normal (standard 5V / 3.3V)
• Check main-board indicator states (power / run / comm LEDs)
• Test each sensor's output signal one by one
• Check motor wiring for looseness or reverse polarity

Step 2: Software Troubleshooting 💻

• Serial monitor to view error logs
• Comment out code step by step to locate the problem line
• Check variable overflow and array out-of-bounds
• Verify library version compatibility

Step 3: System Repair 🔧

• Replace damaged parts (motor / sensor / wire)
• Re-flash the firmware
• Calibrate sensor parameters
• Run a self-test to verify the repair

📖 Educational Value

"Repairing a broken robot teaches more than building one from scratch. Because you must truly understand how each part works to find the problem. That is the essence of engineering thinking — troubleshooting is the best teacher."
