Optical Encoder Operation
The Roborun utility provides many facilities for configuring and testing the Optical Encoder
module contained in the AX2850. These are described in detail in “Encoder Testing and
Setting Using the PC Utility” on page 150
Running the Motors
The Roborun utility will let you exercise and monitor the motors, sensors and actuators
using your computer. This feature is particularly useful during development as you will be
able to visualize, in real-time, the robot’s Amps consumption and other vital statistics dur-
ing actual operating conditions.
