Hello,

I’ve followed the instructions in this video. However, when I run index.js the Go1 does nothing. I’m noticing the MQTT constructor message is not showing in my console, Nor does it state connecting. I made sure that I’m connected to the Go1 via WiFi. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. The code block is listed below.

import { Go1 } from “@droneblocks/go1-js”

const myRobotDog = new Go1()

myRobotDog.setLedColor(255, 0, 0)

await myRobotDog.wait(3000)

myRobotDog.setLedColor(0, 255, 0)

await myRobotDog.wait(3000)

myRobotDog.setLedColor(0, 0, 255)

console.log(“Starting!”)

await myRobotDog.goForward(0.25,1000)

console.log(“done!”)

Thanks for the info. If you are using version 0.1.4 there is a new method to initialize communication. You probably need to do something like this:

```auto
import { Go1 } from “@droneblocks/go1-js”
const myRobotDog = new Go1()
myRobotDog.init()

```

We mention that here:

> **[@droneblocks/go1-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@droneblocks/go1-js)**
>
> \`\`\`
> let dog = new Go1();
> dog.init(); // version 0.1.4+ requirement
> dog.setMode(Go1Mode.walk);
> dog.goForward(0.25, 2000);
> \`\`\`. Latest version: 0.1.5, last published: 2 months ago. Start using @droneblocks/go1-js in your project by running \`npm i...

Let me know if that doesn’t get you going!

Thanks Dennis! That worked. 🙂 I’ll be utilizing this interface starting tomorrow with students.
