Lift Sensors
This checks whether each of the lift sensors is
responding correctly.
X/Y LIFT_SENSORS
X represents the current test in the current sequence.
Y represents the total number of tests to be performed
in the current sequence.
LIFT_SENSORS is the name of the current test.
Activate sensors
The lift sensors that need to be tested by activating by
lifting (Lift1, Lift2, Lift3, Lift4).
Disable Sensors
The lift sensors that need to be disabled by depressing
them (Lift1, Lift2, Lift3, Lift4).
To test the Lift Sensors
1)
Check which Lift sensors are listed below
Acti-
vate sensors
.
2)
Lift each of sensors in turn.
3)
If the lift sensor is operating correctly, the item
will be remove from the list.
4)
Repeat for the remaining lift sensors.
5)
If there are sensors listed under
Disable Sensors
,
push down on the lift sensor to deactivate it.
6)
When all the items have been removed from the
list the test is complete.
7)
Any items that remain in the list are not func-
tioning correctly and need to be replaced.
Backwards Sensors
This checks that the backwards sensors are operating
correctly.
The following information is shown.
X/Y BACK_SENSORS
X represents the current test in the current sequence.
Y represents the total number of tests to be performed
in the current sequence.
BACK_SENSORS is the name of the current test.
Activate sensors
The number of sensors that need to be tested by acti-
vating them (CollisionLeft, CollisionRight).
Disable Sensors
The number of sensors that need to be deactivated
(CollisionLeft, CollisionRight).
To test the Back Sensors
1)
Check that CollisionLeft and CollisionRight are
listed below
Activate sensors
.
2)
If these are listed under
Disable Sensors
, remove
any constrictions activating them.
3)
Push the body of the robot backwards on one
side so that it moves relative to the chassis.
4)
If the backward sensor on this side is functioning
correctly it will be removed from the list.
5)
Repeat this on the other side.
6)
If an item remains in the list, the backward
sensor is not functioning correctly. Visually
inspect it to see if there is a constriction that is
impeding its function. If not, replace it if neces-
sary.
Signal Sensors
This checks the functionality of the coil that is used to
detect a signal on a peripheral wire.
The following information is shown.
X/Y COIL0_CENTER
X represents the current test in the current sequence.
Y represents the total number of tests to be performed
in the current sequence.
COIL0_CENTER is the name of the current test.
Detecting wire < {value}
{value} is the value of the "track value". If the result of
the test is less than this value, the test is successful.
CH{A}:{result value}
If the test result is greater than the defined "track
value", it will be listed here.
Move the robot closer to the signal wire detected.
When the value is less than the "track value", the item
should be removed from the list.
If the robot is close to the wire and the displayed values
are high (900 or more) it is an indication that the coil
connections are not good.
Drive Motor
This checks the function of the drive motor. It checks
that:
