A Few Tips

Building models is fun when they work. This is why you should follow a few basic rules

• Work carefully.

• Check the movement of all parts.

• Use the interface test.– Before you start to write a program for a

model, you should test all parts that are connected to the Interface, using the interface test from the ROBO Pro software.

Interface Test

Prog Button

• Programs can be downloaded to the interface.

• Two programs can be stored in the Flash memory.

• Toggle between the two programs using the Prog Button.

Port Button

• This button can be used to toggle between the COM/USB or IR Ports.

• The light remains solid once you’ve selected the port.

Troubleshooting

• Interface Test

• Cables and Wiring

• Loose Connection– Loose plugs– Poor contact between wire and plug

• Short Circuits

• Programming Errors
