TROUBLE SHOOTING
CALIBRATION
In the event that the chess pieces are not placed in the centre position of the square and/or the 2Robot
is unable to pick up the pieces you may calibrate the unit. To calibrate the unit correctly you need to
fine-tune squares A8 (short reach of the arm) and square H1 (long reach of the arm).
NOTE: It is important that you calibrate both squares to achieve accuracy.
CALIBRATION OF SQUARE A8 (short reach of arm)
Place a chess piece on square A8.
Press the CLEAR key for approx. 5 seconds until you see P1:xx.yy_ (the display represents the
current numerical value for the calibration in position P1).
Press GO and wait for the computer to complete its move.
Check the position of the chess piece once the move is completed and compare it to the
schematic below. The actual squares on the chessboard B1 to H7 represent square A8. Proceed
as described in the example.
