Shutdown procedure
RoboThespian contains a PC and like any PC should be shut down fully before removing mains power.
Shutdown using touchscreen or Tritium GUI
- Access the administration section UPDATE THIS LINK ONCE DONE
- Under the 'System' tab in the Robot section press 'Shutdown' to shut down RoboThespian and the touchscreen kiosk. A message will confirm shutting down.
UPDATE ME:
Wait for RoboThespian to fully shut down - you will hear a "pop" as RoboThespian's computer switches off, and the LEDs on the computer on RoboThespian's back will turn off.
Please note that robot electronics will continue to run: eye screens will show a static graphic and (if fitted) body LEDs will continue to be illuminated
The touchscreen PC will close the interface, shut down and power itself off.
Switch off the mains power at the inlet or isolator
Shutdown RoboThespian and / or kiosk using power buttons on PCs
- Should you need to, you can use the power button on the PCs on the robot's back and inside the kiosk to initiate a shutdown.
