#Troubleshooting List

Issues with Starting MOTIONER （after you power it on)

Error Message	Possible Reasons	Solution 1	Solution 2
MOTIONER IMU doesn't light up	・MOTIONER IMU connection failed ・MOTIONER IMU cable is missing ・MOTIONER IMU cable is disconnected ・MOTIONER IMU is broken	Replace the cable	Replace the broken MOTIONER IMU
Multiple MOTIONER IMUs won't light up when connected	・A connection to the MOTIONER Controller is missing ・A MOTIONER controller cable is disconnected ・A MOTIONER IMU that is connected to the MOTIONER controller has failed ・There is a connection failure witin the MOTIONER controller	Carefully inspect the connections between the MONITOR IMUs and the MONITOR Controller	・Replace the cables ・Replace the connections between the MONITOR IMU and Monitor Controller
There is no light throughout entire MOTIONERIMU system	・The battery is dead ・The MOTIONER controller's power connection has failed	Replace the battery	Replace the MOTIONER controller

Calibration

Error Message	Possible Reasons	Solution 1	Solution 2
Some of the MOTIONERIMUs are lighting up, but data is not being sent to the MONITOR application	MOTIONER IMU's power reset has failed	Turn the MOTIONER controller on and off	Disconnect and reconnect the cables connecting the MOTIONER IMU to the MOTIONER Controller
Motion data coming into the application looks choppy	The battery power is low	Replace the battery	-
Some of the joins are moving arbritrarily fast on the application screen	The setting of the node numbers didn't work correctly	・Check the MONITOR IMU node number (via the Arduino Serial port) ・Fix how the node numbre is written for the MONITOR IMU	Replace the MOTIONER IMU
電源を何度入れ直しても特定のパーツが動かない	・The battery is low ・The MOTIONER IMU has failed	Replace the battery	Replace the MOTIONER IMU
Some parts are either moving slowly or not moving at all	・The position is fixed ・TheMOTIONER IMU has failed	Uncheck the position so it is not fixed	Replace the MOTIONER IMU
Some parts move freely without any motion from the user	・A cable connecting a MONITOR IMU to the MONITOR Controller is missing or broken ・The MOTIONER IMU has failed	Replace the cable	Replace the MOTIONER IMUの
The movement looks twisted	・The calibration with the orientation sensor wasn't very good or is not working correctly ・The cable for the MOTIONER IMU used on the back is missing or broken ・The MOTIONER IMU for the back has failed	Redo the calibration in a different location	・Make sure the cable for the MOTIONER IMU for the back is connected and is working. Replace if necessary
A bone is unable to bend forward	・The waist, back or chest is missing a MOTIONER IMU connection ・The waist, back or chest MOTIONER IMU connection is bad	Check the appropriate MOTIONER IMU for a bad or missing cable	Replace the appropriate MOITONER IMU

General MOTIONER Use

Error Message	Possible Reasons	Solution 1
Cannot record motion data	If you are trying to record data, make sure there is a folder called "motion" in your data folder	Create a "motion" folder in your data folder
The motioner display is alternating between two actors' motion data	There are duplicate actor names	Change one of the names so that all actor's have unique IDs
