The following are some functions used in this sample application for controlling the servos mounted on

the head:

WiRobotSDK1.EnableServo 0

WiRobotSDK1.ServoTimeCtr 0, 3800, 1000

The

WiRobotSDK1is the WiRobot SDK Component ActiveX control. The first line will enable the channel

0 servo. The second line will control the servo to take 1000ms to the target position of 3800.

User can also obtain and control the multimedia information of the robot simply by calling the

following functions

WiRobotSDK1.LcdDisplayPMS sourceFileName

WiRobotSDK1.TakePhoto

WiRobotSDK1.SavePhotoAsBMP destinationfileName

The first function will change the LCD display on the robot to the image stored in the

“sourceFileName” which is in bitmap format. The second function will request the robot to take a

picture and an “ImageEvent” will be triggered when this image is ready for pickup. The third function

will save the image to the file with “destinationfileName” in bitmap format.
