WriteInstinct only prompts for reset settings

When I try to run the WriteInstinct.ino for first time setup, it only prompts me to reset the settings. I dont get any further prompts and cannot enter `c` to start calibration.

The instructions are a bit dense, did I miss some other setup stage?


More information:

I'm running off of batteries - both yellow and blue lights are solid. I have tried with the jumper set to BATT-V_S and V+-V_S.


I have checked that all servos are plugged in and the polarity is correct for a V2 board (brown lead against motherboard).


I ran the ServoTest - Only servo 0 did anything - even though the serial output showed a long range of numbers, the stepper only ticked for 13 steps.


Tried switching from ARD to PI (I do have a Pi, but will not add it until later)


I've updated the first line in Instinct.h to indicate it's a v2 board:


#define NyBoard_V0_2

This is the serial output (when prompted, I typed `Y` and pressed `send`)

* Change the "V0_*" in "#define NyBoard_V0_1" in Instinct.h according to your NyBoard version!

That's it - no further interaction. The above is repeatable any time I reboot or reflash the board with WriteInstinct.ino
