Configuration for Robot-Computer Communi-
cation in standalone
This configuration allows communicating between the robot and a host com-
puter through a serial link. The host computer is linked to the interface
module using a standard RS232 line, while the interface module converts
RS232 signal into a TTL level signal to communicate with the robot.
To use the standalone serial communication mode, please make sure the
following are correct:
- No KoreBotLE is connected on the Khepera III.
- The robot battery is charged that means the power led is switched on.
- The robot must be connected to a KoreConnect module using the
serial cable
- The KoreConnect should be connected to the host computer using a
standard RS232 cable. in this mode, the cable has to be connected on
the DB9 connector number 2 (see fig 4.1). You can easily purchase
such a cable from your host computer dealer.
- Serial port configured as followed : 115200bps, 8 Data bits, 1 stop bit
, no parity, no hardware control.
