Joydrive and Self Tests<br />

ENGAGING SELF-TESTS<br />

To enable self-test mode, press the white MOTORS button twice after startup or RESET. 14<br />

ATTENTION!<br />

Place your robot on the floor or ground and have everyone step<br />

back before engaging self-tests.<br />

Currently, the only AROS self-test exercises your ActivMedia robot’s drive motors. During<br />

this test, the robot is not at all conscious of bystanders. Please have everyone step back<br />

and remove any obstacles from within a diameter of four to five feet around before<br />

engaging the self-test.<br />

The motor’s self-test begins by engaging the left drive wheel, first forward, then in reverse,<br />

each to complete a partial turn clockwise, then counterclockwise. Similarly, the right<br />

wheel engages, first forward, then reverse to complete partial turns, first<br />

counterclockwise, then clockwise.<br />

The <strong>H8</strong>S-AROS controller reverts to its client-connection wait state after completing the<br />

motors self-test.<br />

14 As described above, the first MOTORS press and release puts the robot into joydrive mode.<br />
