3 Codes

CODE Error 12 Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Mop Lifting Motor Stalled

Error 12 triggers when the mainboard microcontroller detects an overcurrent state on the mop elevation actuator driver or fails to register a state change from the upper/lower limit microswitches within the expected 1500ms timeout window.

CODE Error 21 Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Extending Side Arm Motor Fault

Error 21 indicates an overcurrent or stall condition detected on the robotic side-arm linear actuator/swing motor driver circuit. The microcontroller tripped overcurrent protection due to mechanical obstruction, gear train seizure, or sensor feedback failure.
