Solution: Check if the solenoids are properly unlatched.

Solution: Ensure that the solenoids are connected to the dedicated solenoid ports and not the sensor ports.

Solution: Align the modules and tighten (do not overtighten) the screws to the solenoid. Make sure the solenoid is secure in its position and not moving about. This could happen due to the screws on the solenoid being misaligned, causing the solenoid mount to be misaligned to the latch.

Solution: Reattach the motor shaft sleeve onto the motor and ensure it clicks into the motor shaft. The motor shaft sleeve might not be attached properly to the motor shaft which overtime wiggled out from the vibrations and movement.

Solution: Change to the port used by the cable attached to the master board. This can be accessed via Tools -> Port . If this doesn't work, try holding the boot and enable button when uploading the code.

Solution: Debug the system by changing the port used by the sensor to check if it was a fault with the slave board or the sensor. If all ports replicated the same issue, try changing to a different sensor to check if it is a fault with the sensor.

Solution: Ensure all relevant solenoids were either in a latched or unlatched position. If it still doesn't work, check if the battery is flat.

Solution: Make sure that you press on the ENABLE button everytime you upload your code to the masterboard.

Solution: Try to adjust the sensitivity of the sensors using the trimpot on the sensors. They require calibration in order to working properly.
