As an example we have modified the teach-in program and are now able to control the wheeled robot
using a software panel. The program is called Mobile-Teach-RF.rpp. Of course you can also try it out
using the interface cable. But that might be pretty uncomfortable. The operating range of the model is
limited, the cable gets tangled and the robot no longer turns correctly. After trying this, you will probably
run out right away and get yourself the RF Data Link.
Load the program Mobile-Teach-RF.rpp.
Switch to Panel in the Function Bar of the main program . Then start the program in online mode. Now
you'll be able to control and program the model using the buttons in the panel.
1. Press the "Learn" button. This starts the "learning process".
2. Use arrow buttons to steer the model into the desired direction.
3. Press the "Save" button. This will save the path the robot traveled.
4. Press the "Run" button. This will make the robot travel along the saved path
Here as well, the saved path will be lost once the program is terminated.
Please refer to the ROBO Pro manual to learn more about creating panels.
ROBO I/O-Extension
■ Should you build a model with so many sensors and motors that the input and output terminals of the
ROBO Interface are not enough, you can connect a ROBO I/O-Extension Art No. 93294 to the Interface.
This will provide you with an additional 8 digital inputs, 4 motor outputs and one analog resistance
input. A second and a third module can be connected to this I/O-Extension, all controlled using a ROBO
Interface. This will provide you with a total of 16 motor outputs, 32 digital inputs, 5 analog resistance
inputs, 2 analog voltage inputs as well as 2 inputs for distance sensors.
If this is still not enough for you, you can even control several Interfaces from your PC in online mode.
For example, one connected to a serial COM interface, one to the USB port, or 2 Interfaces connected
to the USB port and each with up to 3 ROBO I/O-Extensions! Dizzying, isn't it? Chapter 6 of the ROBO
Pro manual also explains how the whole thing works.
