Using the K’NEX Robotics Control Box
After the Initial Set-Up
• Connect the Control Box to the power supply and switch the Control Box on.
It is possible to connect the Control Box to the computer using only battery power,
but we recommend using the power supply to conserve battery power for operation
away from the computer.
• Connect the Control Box to the computer using the USB cable.
• Start the K’NEX Robotics software.
• Click on the Connect icon to establish a connection between the software and the
Control Box.
When a connection is established the icon will change to Disconnect (which is used to break
off connection with the Control Box).
