BB01 User Manual
4.2. Calibration
Once the BB01 is setup, follow this procedure to calibrate the beam:
1. Using an 9/64 Allen Key loosen the screws on the support arm, which are shown in Figure 2 by
ID #9.
2. Place the steel ball on the beam such that it rests on the SRV02 side, as pictured in Figure 5.
3. As illustrated in Figure 6, below, manually rotate the servo load gear to the 0 degree position.
That is, the coupling screw should be aligned with the 0 degree position, .
Figure 6: BB01 Calibration: move SRV02
load gear to 0 degree position.
4. While holding the load gear at 0 degrees, vary the height of the support arm, component #7,
such that the beam is horizontal. When the ball is centered on the beam it should lie motionless.
Figure 7: Calibrated BB01: ball is balanced when centered on beam.
