How to make your car work
Battery Selection and Installation
A-Cute car package requires 4 AA batteries. You can choose carbon-zinc batteries, alkaline batteries
or NiMH batteries. We recommend using rechargeable NiMH batteries.
Carbon-zinc / alkaline batteries are rated voltage of 1.5V, and NiMH batteries rated voltage of 1.2V.
Because of the voltage difference of the 2 types of batteries, the operating voltages supplied to the
motor will differ; therefore, the NiMH batteries will run the motor at a slower speed than carbon-zinc
/ alkaline batteries.
Make sure to check which direction the batteries are installed. Match the positive end of the batteries
to the positive on the battery box, and the negative end of the batteries to the negative end of the
battery box.
Ready to turn on the power
When the battery is properly installed; turn on the power switch.
You will see the switch next to the two power lights, switch to the on position, the power light on the
car and the DE0-Nano will light up.
Now you can begin to enjoy the fun of A-Cute.
