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
