Transporter Making Your Transporter Run Install the software from the URL below to setup the Studuino Programming Environment. ★ Proceed to Step 1 when software installation is complete. http://www.artec-kk.co.jp/studuino/ ① ② Connect the USB cable to the PC and the Studuino unit. Refer to 1.3. About Studuino in Studuino Programming Environment Manual for more details. Download the program file Transporter.ipd from the URL below in the ArtecRobo section. http://www.artec-kk.co.
Transporter Making Your Transporter Run ⑥ On the last page of the instructions there is an A4 size printout of a run course for your robot. If you cannot print out the course, you can draw your own. Draw the lines of the run course using a thick, black marker and white paper. The thickness of the lines should be between 5 mm and 10 mm. Your robot cannot make sharp turns. ⑦ Place the robot onto the course where the left and right reflective infrared sensor can detect the course line.
Transporter Sensor Calibration Some sensors may not function properly after you run the program for the first time. If the sensors are malfunctioning, calibrate the sensor settings. Click the sensor icon in the box and you can adjust the range settings in the condition box below. Drag the mouse left or right to adjust the range settings. Refer to the Condition Icon sections in 4.4. The Attribute Field of the Studuino Programming Environment Manual for more details.
