4. The Wireless control set from AREXX
The „Wireless“ control set allows you to install an APC220 module
or a Bluetooth module on ASURO or other robots. Thus you can
communicate with the ASURO not only via Infrared but also via RF
frequencies. The advantage of the high frequencies is that transmitter
and receiver don’t need visual contact any more.
ASURO can communicate with the PC if an APC220 is installed on the
Wireless radio set. You will nd further information on this subject in
chapter ‘APC220’. The Bluetooth module allows you to communicate
with the PC and an android smartphone. You will nd further
information in chapter ‘Bluetooth Module’.
4.1 Specications
The AREXX „Wireless“ control set includes:
• IR-receiver or transmitter for the Flash transmission to ASURO
• Socket for the APC220 or Bluetooth RF module
• Switch for the IR or RF transmission
• Experience board to build an additional circuit
• Connection options for free gates of ASURO
Following gures show the layout of the PCB. The free
experimentation area for the additional circuit is clearly visible.
There will be even some space left below the APC220 because it is
installed in some distance to the PCB.
Please note!
The switch on the PCB allows 2
positions: (1) Infrared connection
or (2) Bluetooth / APC220 commu-
nication.
If you want to transfer the software
via Flash into ASURO or if you wish
to communicate via Infrared, this
switch must be set to ‘IR’.
If you want to communicate via
Bluetooth or APC220, the switch
must be set to the other position.
