Possible Causes

Dirty side-facing IR wall sensors, Faulty wall-follow sensor module, Loose sensor wiring, Strong sunlight saturating IR sensors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Power off the robot and place it on a table or bench.

  • Locate wall sensors: Identify the small side-facing IR windows on the robot's perimeter.
  • Clean sensor windows: Wipe each window gently with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and smudges.
  • Test in controlled lighting: Run the robot in a room with moderate, indirect lighting (avoid direct sun) to see if the error clears.
  • Check for physical damage: Inspect the sensor windows and surrounding plastic for cracks or impact damage.
  • If E11 persists: The wall sensor module or its wiring harness may be faulty. Replace the wall/edge sensor board as needed.
