  • Connect Mouse, Keyboard, and Other Peripherals

    • The USB port can be used to connect devices that communicate via USB, including keyboards and mice.

      • First, ensure that your device is recognized by the Ubuntu system before connecting it to the robot.
      • Some devices might require driver installations based on manufacturer instructions. For details, consult your device supplier.
      • If there's a recognition or driver issue, test on another Ubuntu system for confirmation.
      • Note: The robot cannot communicate directly with another computer or a higher-level machine's USB port.

    • The RJ45 port can be used for ethernet connections, allowing the robot to connect to a master or slave device.


2.2 Connect to Power

The robot requires an external power source. Its specifications are:

Rated voltage: DC 12V5A
