### Turtles not appearing in web panel
1. Check that webbridge.lua is running
2. Verify SERVER_URL is correct
3. Check turtle.lua is running with wireless modem equipped
4. Verify all scripts are using same channel numbers
1. **Check webbridge is running**
- Verify webbridge.lua is active in Minecraft
- Check for error messages in the Minecraft console
2. **Verify SERVER_URL configuration**
- Ensure webbridge.lua points to correct server address
- Use `http://localhost:3001` for local testing
- Use your machine's IP for remote access
3. **Check turtle setup**
- Ensure turtle.lua is running
- Verify wireless modem is equipped
- Check modem is on correct side (usually top)
4. **Verify channel configuration**
- All scripts must use matching channel numbers
- Default: RECEIVE=100, SEND=101, STATUS=102
### Connection issues
1. Check server is running: `http://localhost:3001/api/turtles`
2. Check firewall settings
3. Verify ports 3001 and 3002 are not in use
4. Check browser console for WebSocket errors
1. **Server not responding**
- Check server is running: `http://localhost:3001/api/turtles`
- Verify no port conflicts (3001, 3002, 3000)
- Check firewall isn't blocking connections
2. **WebSocket disconnections**
- Check browser console for WebSocket errors
- Verify WS_PORT (3002) is accessible
- Try restarting both client and server
3. **Database errors**
- Check `server/turtle_control.db` file exists
- Ensure write permissions on database file
- Try deleting database to reinitialize (loses data)
### Turtle behavior issues
1. **Turtle gets stuck or spins endlessly**
- Check fuel level (need sufficient fuel)
- Verify GPS is working (`gps locate` in-game)
- Restart turtle.lua to reset state
2. **Turtle not finding home**
- Ensure home position is set (`setHome` command)
- Check GPS hosts are functioning
- Verify turtle has enough fuel to return
3. **Turtle timing out**
- Fixed in latest version with non-blocking return home
- Ensure latest turtle.lua is deployed
- Check modem range (max 64 blocks without ender modem)
### Voice commands not working
1. **Browser compatibility**
- Use Chrome, Edge, or Safari (Firefox not supported)
- Check microphone permissions in browser settings
- Try HTTPS instead of HTTP (some browsers require it)
2. **Microphone issues**
- Verify microphone is connected and working
- Check system permissions allow browser mic access
- Test with "Hello Google" or other voice apps
3. **Commands not recognized**
- Speak clearly and at normal pace
- Use exact command phrases from the help menu
- Check browser console for recognition errors
### GPS not working
1. Set up GPS hosts in Minecraft (requires 4 computers)
2. Position them in a square pattern at high Y level
3. Each must run `gps host X Y Z` with their coordinates
1. **Set up GPS hosts**
- Requires 4 computers in Minecraft
- Position in square pattern at high Y level (Y>100 recommended)
- Each runs: `gps host X Y Z` with their exact coordinates
2. **GPS host placement**
```
Host positions (example):
Computer 1: gps host 100 120 100
Computer 2: gps host 200 120 100
Computer 3: gps host 100 120 200
Computer 4: gps host 200 120 200
```
3. **Troubleshooting GPS**
- Ensure all 4 hosts are loaded (chunk loaders)
- Keep them at least 6 blocks apart
- Must be on same dimension as turtles
### Performance issues
1. **Slow web interface**
- Reduce number of visible turtles in 3D map
- Disable block tracking if not needed
- Use production build: `npm run build`
2. **High database size**
- Periodically clean old session data
- Archive old paths and tasks
- Consider vacuum command: `VACUUM;`
3. **Memory issues in Minecraft**
- Limit number of active turtles
- Reduce position memory size in turtle.lua
- Use more efficient exploration patterns
