Assembly Procedures
Calibrating Servos
Before starting installation, verify if the servo horn is at the correct position; if not,
calibrate as follows:
Connect servo, Servo Runner A, Command Board, and power supply cable in
the sequence as illustrated below.
When the Command Board or Education Board shares the power supply with
Servo Runner A, please notice that the voltage of this kit should be 6V (please refer to
Notices). It is recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure that the voltage is
within the safe range.
i.
Connect the PC and BASIC Commander
®
with a USB cable.
ii.
Make sure that the DIP switch on the Command Board is set at the 0 position
(power off state). If it is not at the 0 position, please poke it to the 0 position.
iii.
Connect the power line of the servo to the power supply. (Please make sure that the
voltage and current from the power supply are within the ranges required by the
servo. After the power line is connected, the servo may make a transient motion due
to receiving a switch surge; this is normal. While connecting the power line, please
pay attention not to place your hands within the space where the servo may move to
avoid being clamped.)
Connect to power with Servo Power Line. Mind the
polarity. Connect “+” to the positive and “-” to the
negative of the power supply.
Connect to Command Board with Education Board Power
Line. Make sure to connect “+” to the positive and “-” to
the negative of the power supply.
Connect all servos with
Servo Runner, as shown in
the Fig. Pay attention to the
pin position while making
the connection.
Connect to Command Board with
cmbBus, and install BC1 to Command
Board. Make sure the Power Switch on
the Command Board is set to “0” (off).
