Programming Your Bee-Bot
Your Bee-Bot has been designed as a simple floor robot.
After initial switch-on, the sequence memory is cleared, pressing <Go> at this
point will simply cause a sound to be played and no motion to occur.
The user can press a sequence of commands, which are stored in the sequence
memory. A maximum of 40 commands can be stored; each command being
either one forward/backward movement, left/right turn, or a pause.
nEach forward or backward command causes the unit to move approx.
150mm in the required direction.
nEach turn command causes the unit to rotate 90o.
nA pause command causes the unit to pause for 1 second.
nWhen the <Go> button is pressed, the unit will execute all the commands
stored in order with a short pause between each command.
nWhen the command sequence completes, the unit will stop and play a
sound. (The sound can be turned on/off using the switch on the underside).
nPressing <Go > whilst a sequence is running will stop the sequence.
