[error] joystick init fail
[error] task enter failed: JoyStickTask
...
[warning] Task [JoyStickTask] heartbeat timeout! Possible thread freeze.

Reason: The configuration is set to start without a joystick.

Solution: Set UseJoyStick to true in the config/config.yaml file.

2. Aurora program fails to start​

a. Aurora program startup displays:​

[error] 192.168.137.93 init failed with code: -102
[error] init robot failed.

Reason: Aurora did not receive actuator data during startup, causing the startup self-check to fail.

Solution: Confirm whether the actuators have faults and if the actuator addresses are reachable. Also, verify that the actuator firmware version is compatible with Aurora.
