Smaug Head Test
When you enter the Smaug Head Test , the LCD monitor will display the screen shown in figure B20.
The upper squares on the screen represent the states of the two U-shaped opto switches on the
Smaug assembly, in the upper left corner of the playfield. One opto switch indicates that Smaug is
fully rotated to the player's left; the other indicates he is fully rotated to the player's right. The
lower two squares represent the states of the Up/+ and Down/- buttons. A green square indicates
an activated opto switch (or a button being pressed); a transparent square indicates an inactive
opto switch (or no button being pressed).
There are two different modes for testing the Smaug assembly: MANUAL and AUTO . The current
mode is highlighted in green text at the top of the screen; you change the current mode by pressing
the Enter button. In AUTO mode, the game repeatedly rotates the Smaug assembly, left and right.
When Smaug reaches a rotational limit (left or right), one of the optos should activate(Limit-left or
Limit-right) as Smaug reverses direction. In
MANUAL
mode, you control the movement of Smaug
with the Up/+ and Down/- buttons. Up/+ rotates Smaug to the right; Down/- rotates Smaug to
the left. When he reaches a rotational limit (left or right), one of the opto switches should activate
(Limit-left or Limit-right) as Smaug stops moving. Note: You cannot rotate the Smaug assembly be-
yond the point where its limit switch activates (its square will be green on the LCD screen).
To exit the Smaug Head Test at any time, press the Back/Escape button.
