13. Team  Number 

 
Setting the Team Number on the EDU Motherboard requires changing the TEAM NUMBER dip switch 
settings.  The Team Number is set by changing the switches to match the binary equivalent of your 
Team Number.  The easiest way to set the team number switches is to copy them from the Operator 
Interface. 
 
The diagram below shows the location of the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and the Least Significant Bit 
(LSB).   
 

 

 
 
The following diagram is an example of setting the Team Number to 

34

.  The black areas on the Team 

Number Switch indicate which half of the switch is in the down position. 
 

 

 
 

14. PBASIC Program Memory 

 
The PBASIC program memory chip on the EDU Motherboard stores the PBASIC program.  The 
memory chip is located on the EDU Motherboard.  This allows the robot program and wired EDU 
Motherboard to remain in the robot while the Isaac16 EDU Robot Controller can be removed and used 
in multiple other robots.  The program can be changed by downloading a new program into PBASIC 
memory through the TETHER/PROGRAM port (see Page 4).  Refer to the “Programming Guide” for 
more information on downloading programs.  Be sure the Write Protect jumper is installed before 
attempting to program (see Write Protect Jumper pg.12).
