Is there any documentation schematic for QBO?
What kind of documentation?
Well I am going to have to trouble shoot why the head stop working. It would be nice to know what pins components are hooked up to so once I start trying to fix it. I make sure to put everything back. I am new to robotics and I don't want to mess something else up.

Be careful... I think the Arduino code steering the servo is faulty for the up- and down movement. I've asked already for an update or to place it opensource.

It's true. I have also seen that occasionally the movement up/down stops working when I use scratch. There must be a bug in the code.
We will check asap...Thanks for your feedback.
Any update on this?
we found this issue in the past but all the new robots comes with the latest firmware. Please can you send a video with the Scratch code to indiegogo@thecorpora.com?. Thanks a lot.
I've been using the example in the post, linked below. For `import QboCmd`, I put the Python files in https://github.com/thecorpora/QBOscratch in my Python Path. I was able to get Q.bo to move left and right. When I tried the commands to move up and down, nothing happens.

P.S., after running Q.bo for around 3 hours, with it moving every so often, Q.bo moves less and less. Specifically, it won't make the full (left-right) head movement, and eventually it just won't move. I tried restarting Q.bo but then it didn't boot (only a blink from the nose light). I've been advised that the SD card sounds corrupt. I don't believe that I modified anything significant, other than updating and installing a few packages. I'll try putting the current Q.bo image on the SD card in a couple days. Any thoughts?
I figured out what corrupted my memory card: Using `sudo dpkg --configure -a` makes the system not turn on when I reboot it. I need to do this before I can use `apt-get` to install software.
However, realizing this let me get around to trying Q.bo again, and it stopped working almost immediately. The head moved a couple times and then stopped moving.
@audrow i installed several times OpenQbo in my SD card and i never use "apt-get` to install software". Follow the instructions provided in the forum or in the TheCorporas Website. It is not difficult to do that.
