ROBOTICS
6
Slide Switches (DIP Switches) 1-5
The position of the five slide switches, also known as a
DIP switch, determines the function of the ROBOTICS
module. The desired program can be set with these
switches. Here it is necessary to ensure that the DIP
switch is in the position required for the particular model. Each switch
has two positions: "ON" (up) and "OFF" (down).
Important:
The ROBOTICS module checks which programs is to be
run when the power is switched on. Always set the desired program
before switching on the power supply.
Actuators
Actuators are all components, which can perform some type of action.
This means that they become "active" in some way when they are
connected to electric power. In most cases you can see this directly. A
motor runs, an indicator light illuminates and so forth.
XS Motor
The XS motor is an electric motor, exactly as long and high as a
fischertechnik building block. In addition, it is very light. This means, you
can install it at points too small for the big motors.
Both gearboxes included in the construction set fit perfectly on the XS
motor.
The XS motor is designed for a supply voltage of 9 volts and a maximum
current of 0.3 amperes.
Sensors
Sensors are so to speak the counterpart to the actuators. This is because
they do not perform any actions, but react to certain situations and
events. For example, a pushbutton reacts when pressed, allowing an
electric current to flow or interrupting its flow.
