www.adeept.com The 13 servos required for this assembly should be connected to the Arduino hardware that has been programmed and powered on, in the order of yellow-red-brown by the DuPont wires that comes with the motor, ensuring that each servo is turned to the middle (the middle position has been defined in the program). When debugging the servo, switch to "on" and switch to "off" after the debug is completed. Connect the servo to any of the interfaces in the red box at the angle shown in the figure.

www.adeept.com 4. Select the option or you can’t be able to control the robot. 5.Choose different installation path base on your needs.
www.adeept.com 6. Wait to complete.
www.adeept.com 7.Open the software and you can control.
www.adeept.com 5.1 Control therobot.（restart every time you control） After the LED changes to blue, connect the WIFI of ESP8266 (WIFI: Adeept_ESP, password : 12345678). 1. Open the control software, the interface is as shown. 2. Enter the default IP address 192.168.4.1 of the ESP8266 in the IP input box, click the connect button and you can control. 3.
www.adeept.com 5.2 Commonissues When in self-stabilization mode, the movement angle deviates too much. It’s probably because that you operate with large range of motion, and the processor misjudges, resulting in incorrect data. You can restart to make it return to normal. Any joggle during the process is common as the processor is modifying. Lay flat the robot for a while after turning on, or it may cause incorrect angle calculation of the processor. 5.
www.adeept.com 4、Enter the IP Address we used this time: 192.168.4.1, the port: 333, then click CONNECT. 5. Then enter the control interface, and the movement of the robot can be controlled through the buttons on the interface. The button on the left controls the robot to move up and down. The button A and B is to switch mode. The button A is automatic obstacles avoiding, and B is selfstabilizing.
