Using the Roborun Configuration Utility
162 AX2500/2850 Motor Controller User’s Manual Version 1.7. February 1, 2005
With the port open, Roborun will try to establish communication with the controller. If suc-
cessful, this window will display the software revision, the revision date and a set of digits
identifying hardware revision of the board inside the controller.
3- Parameter Selection and Setting, and Special Functions
This is the program’s main frame and includes several types of tabs, each of which has sev-
eral buttons, menus and other User Interface objects. These tabs and the functions they
contain are described in detail in the following sections.
You can go from one set of commands to another by clicking on the desired tab.
4- File and Program Management Commands
This frame contains a variety of buttons needed to load and save the parameters from and
to the controller or disk. This frame also contains the button needed to initiate a software
update to the controller.
Getting On-Screen Help
The Roborun buttons and fields are very intuitive and self-explanatory. Additional explana-
tions and help is provided by means of ToolTips for each command. Simply move the cur-
sor to a button, tab or other gadget on the screen and a message box will appear after a
few seconds.
Loading, Changing Controller Parameters
The first set of tabs allows you to view and change the controller’s parameters. These tabs
are grouped according to the general type of parameters (Controls, Power Setting, and R/C
Settings).
When starting Roborun, this screen is filled with the default values. If the controller is con-
nected to your PC, Roborun will automatically detect it and ask you if you wish to read its
settings.
You can read the controller’s setting in the PC at any other time by pressing the “Load from
Controller” button. After changing a parameter, you must save it to the controller manually
by pressing the “Save to Controller” button.
