ATTENTION!
Place your robot on the floor or ground and have everyone step
back before engaging self-tests.
Currently, the only AROS self-test exercises your ActivMedia robot’s drive motors. During
this test, the robot is not at all conscious of bystanders. Please have everyone step back
and remove any obstacles from within a diameter of four to five feet around before
engaging the self-test.
The motor’s self-test begins by engaging the left drive wheel, first forward, then in reverse,
each to complete a partial turn clockwise, then counterclockwise. Similarly, the right
wheel engages, first forward, then reverse, to complete partial turns, first
counterclockwise, then clockwise.
The H8S-AROS controller reverts to its client-connection wait state after completing the
motors self-test.
