Create Controls and Indicators
From Tekkotsu Wiki
- To run the robot: unplug the charger, then press the Power button. The power LED will flash red/green for a second, then turn steady green as the robot emits a single beep. It is now ready for Tekkotsu to control.
- The Play (Tekkotsu "green" button) and Advance (Tekkotsu "yellow" button) are for user inputs
- If the cliff detector is triggered, Tekkotsu will enter emergency stop mode
Indicators When Charger Is Plugged In
- Pulsing orange: battery is charging
- Steady green: battery is fully charged
- Green with sad four-note beep: Tekkotsu is trying to talk to the robot (must disconnect the charger to proceed)
- Very rapid red/green pulsing: Tekkotsu was running when the charger was plugged in; robot is now stopped
Indicators When Not Charging
Note: these are the default LED meanings. User programs can set the LEDs if they wish.
- No lights: robot is turned off
- Steady green: robot is powered up and ready to run
- Alternating red/yellow/green: emergency stop mode (click Un-Stop in ControllerGUI to resume)
- Steady yellow: battery running down
- Steady red: battery almost dead
