Setup Your Robotic Arm
Installing the Robotic Arm Firmware
The Robotic Arm comes with a pre-installed firmware driver. To allow you to make full use of all
its features, the Robotic Arm comes with XYZrobot Editor, which allows you to create single and
sequenced movement steps. The XYZrobot Editor makes use of the Arduino open-source platform,
requiring the installation of Arduino on your system (if not done so at this point), and synchronizing it
to your Robotic Arm.
The following instructions guide you through the complete installation of the driver required for the
XYZrobot Editor.
1.
Connect the Robotic Arm to your computer. Connect one end of a USB cable to the computer
(USB Type A), and the other end to the Robotic Arm (USB Type Mini-B).
2.
Power up the Robotic Arm; see “Testing the Robotic Arm” in the Assembly Manual.
3.
Locate the Firmware and navigate to the following folder:
Bolide_Y-01_Arduino_Support_File_20151201\XYZrobot_Editor_Driver
(For the latest
software visit http://www.xyzrobot.com).
4.
Double click
XYZrobot_Editor_Driver.ino
to run the application.
