Chapter 6: Payloads

6.3 Connections Between Platform and Payload

The Pioneer LX provides a variety of I/O and power connections, which you can use to make
your robot more effective.

The Operator screen, E-Stop, Brake-release, ON, and OFF may be relocated if desired. This
allows you to add the robot controls somewhere on your payload with just one cable.

The cutout needed for mounting the Operator interface is shown in the following figure:
