Topic summary

The discussion addresses a welding robot experiencing continuous resets. Potential causes include software bugs such as improper code logic, pointer errors, or unintended reset calls; hardware issues like faulty reset switches stuck in the 'on' position; power supply problems including voltage drops ("brown outs"), voltage spikes, or noisy power lines; and environmental factors such as electromagnetic interference or electrical discharges from nearby equipment. Monitoring internal voltages with a multichannel analyzer revealed spikes on +5V and ±12V lines, and using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) helped reduce resets. Heat-related component failures and watchdog timer behavior were also suggested as possible causes. Recommendations include thorough debugging of the robot's code, checking the reset circuitry and power supply stability, consulting the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide, and providing detailed system information for further diagnosis.
