Intermittent Connection with Pi

I am using the robot kit and programming it through Further and keep getting issues running code; it either doesn’t connect or the code runs successfully but nothing on the robot happens. I get this message through Further:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pitop/pma/ultrasonic_sensor_base.py”, line 89, in check
firmware_device = FirmwareDevice(FirmwareDeviceID.pt4_expansion_plate)

hex(self.part_name), hex(self.get_part_name())
pitop.common.firmware_device.PTInvalidFirmwareDeviceException: Part name provided does not match. 0x2222 != 0x0

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi @henaz789. Welcome to the Forum!

It sounds like your expansion plate is faulty or isn’t connected properly. Did this problem just occur suddenly when running Further Code for your Robotics Kit or has it always happened? Do you mind sharing a picture of your setup? If you like, you can send this to us to our support email support@pi-top.com
