Interface Test
Once again here our advice: Check each individual component for proper function
with the aid of the ROBO Pro interface tests.
If things don't work right from the very start there is usually a simple reason. But, it
is not always easy to find. That's why we want to give you some information here
about possible sources of errors.
Cables and Wiring
If an electrical component does not work at all, check the cable used to connect it
to the ROBOTICS TXT Controller again.
Other error sources are incorrectly installed plugs (for example, a green plug on a
red cable).
Also check that "+" and "-" are correctly connected. For this purpose, compare your
model with the illustrations in the assembly instructions.
Loose (Intermittent) Connections
A component, that works sometimes and doesn't work at other times, probably
has a loose connection somewhere in the wiring for the component.
The most frequent causes for this are:
▯ Loose Plugs
When the plugs for the cables are too loose, that is wobbly in the jack
sockets, they do not provide sufficient contact. In this case you can
carefully bend the contact springs apart at the front on the affected
connectors using a screwdriver. Just a little, so the plugs are held
firmly in the jack sockets when you plug them in.
▯ Poor Contact between Cable and Plug
Also check the contact between the stripped ends of the cable in the
connector and the connector itself. It may be sufficient to tighten the
screws in the connector slightly.
