Connecting the controller to your PC using Roborun

is a very simple procedure that is useful for the following purposes:
• to Read and Set the programmable parameters with a user-friendly graphical inter-
face
• to obtain the controller’s software revision and date
• to send precise commands to the motors
• to read and plot real-time current consumption value
• Save captured parameters onto disk for later analysis
• to update the controller’s software
