Droid Status

The Droid Status page gives you a live snapshot of what's connected and what the droid is doing. It updates automatically every two seconds.


Connectivity

Shows whether each wireless controller is currently connected:

Indicator What it shows
XBee Drive Whether the drive XBee Pocket Controller is connected
XBee Dome Whether the dome XBee Pocket Controller is connected
Bluetooth Whether a Bluetooth gamepad is connected

Each indicator shows CONNECTED (green) or OFFLINE (red).


Dome Position

If you're running the RoboClaw encoder dome drive and the dome has been homed, this section shows:

  • Current angle — the dome's present heading in degrees
  • Homed — whether the home reference has been established this boot

If the dome has not yet been homed, this shows Not homed.


Pin States

The lower section of the page shows the live state of all digital I/O pins on the Amidala PCB:

  • Digital output pins (DOUT1–4) — HIGH or LOW
  • Analog input values (A1, A2)
  • Hall sensor state (for dome homing)

This is useful for verifying wiring and checking that sensors are responding as expected.
