The motherboard and other circuit board modules of the Microbot are
delivered as a snap-apart panel. All panels are fully assembled and tested
before leaving the factory.
Each module should be snapped from the panel using a gentle push-
down and push-up action.
The removed modules may have uneven burrs left from where they
joined to the panel. This does not affect operation, but if desired these
burrs may be removed by gentle filing.
The motherboard is the main component of your Microbot, the ‘base
plate’ to which all other modules connect.
As well as providing contact and connection points for the other
modules the motherboard contains the PICAXE 20X2 processor, the
‘brain’ of your Microbot, a download socket for connecting the cable to
program the PICAXE-20X2 microcontroller, a piezo sounder, two
illuminating LEDs, a push switch and a power on/off switch.
