CAN Settings
The CAN Settings sub-menu provides configuration parameters for CAN-bus
communications between the Onboard Charger and the robot/drone controller. See
Appendix C for a complete discussion of WiBotic’s Onboard API and related CAN-bus
setup and functionality.
“Diagnostics” Menu
The WiBotic Development Kit is intentionally configured for in-air operation using the
supplied antenna coil mounting brackets. As you test various coil positions and power
levels, and particularly if you move the coils to your robot or another location where de-
tuning may occur, you may experience an increase in alerts or other system messages.
Apart from appearing on the main overview page, these events can be tracked and
logged using the Diagnostics menu.
Live Logs
The Live Log is a running list of system events that have occurred since the Web GUI
was opened and connected to the Transmitter. The most recent event is listed at the
bottom of the log file, so some scrolling may be required.
Events that appear in black text are normal and for informational purposes only. No
operator action is required. Events that occur in orange text are alerts that generally
represent a change in system condition. These may or may not require operator
intervention (see Alert message list below). Events shown in red text are typically more
severe and are unusual. If a red error message occurs and the system does not
automatically return to normal operation after powering down and repowering, contact
WiBotic for assistance.
