Hardware Control
In the logic (ROGIC) program, various hardware teaching aids of the Roborobo can be connected and controlled by wired/wireless connection.
The hardware connection method is as follows.
DIYGO
The main controller of the DIYGO series, the CPU Board, can be controlled to operate the DIYGO robot series of various shapes produced by the CPU board.
To control the CPU board, you must first call the control block through the Add Extensions button on the ROGIC as shown below.
① Calling the functionality of [RoboKit:RS] through the process of ~3 creates dedicated coding blocks that can control the CPU board as shown below.
The generated blocks can be used in the same way as basic coding blocks, and in order to operate the robot through coding
The communication connection between the desktop (laptops) and the robot CPU board must be active.
1) Connecting a communication connection between the desktop (laptops) and the robot CPU board by wire
1. Connect [Comboard] and [CPU Board] via [Communication Cable] in the order below.
① Connecting the Communication Cable to the Comboard
② Connect the cable-connected computer to the USB port on the desktop (laptops)
③ Connect the connector on the other side of the cable to a dedicated port on the CPU board
④ Power on the CPU board. (The battery case should provide power.)
2. Click the connection icon at the top of ROGIC's added RoboKit:RS extension block to proceed with the connection.
What if it doesn't connect like the picture above?
* Please check the power supply status of the CPU board.
* If the instructions are exposed as shown in the picture below, please proceed with the firmware update by pressing the -> update button in order..
(What is a firmware update? A process for controlling the CPU board in real time.)
* What if the firmware update button disappears? Follow the order below to update the firmware.
