The ground on which the Robotino
®
is to travel must be horizontal and level. In this
way, the desired movements can be reliably executed. The ground must be clean
and dry in order to avoid any damage to the mechanical and electronic components.
You must release the cable of the charger prior to starting the program and stow it
away in the chassis.
Depending on the condition of the ground, the required space specified above may
vary. You must therefore select a sufficiently large clear area. The required space
specified above represents a minimum requirement.
Robotino can, among others, be graphically programmed with RobotinoView. We
recommend using the installed demo program to get started with RobotinoView. You
will find further information and examples for each function block in the
RobotinoView context-sensitive help.
With Version 2.0 and later, you can transfer RobotinoView programs (file extension
.rvw2) to Robotino and execute them at the click of a mouse. Please make sure that
you always have the current version of RobotinoView installed on your PC and
Robotino (memory card).
A WLAN connection must be established to enable you to control the Robotino
®
with
Robotino
®
View.
Since different WLAN hardware and software is available, it is not possible to
describe the correct set-up and preparation of your WLANs in detail.
Activate your WLAN. Your WLAN setting must permit the assignment of an
IP address to the WLAN. Only then can the access point in the Robotino
®
establish a
connection to your network.
As a precaution, place the Robotino
®
onto the jacking device. Then switch on the
Robotino
®
and wait for the booting up process, which you can view on the display.
Make a note of the IP address displayed. To be on the safe side, a label with the IP
address is affixed to the underside of the command bridge.
Let your WLAN search for available networks. A network with the name Robotino
®
x.x now appears in the list of available networks. If necessary, establish a connection
to this network if this has not been effected via your network software.
The following network settings are a prerequisite for a successful connection:
Automatically assign network code (SSID)
Automatically source IP address
Both settings must be switched on to be able to establish a connection to the
Robotino
