Unpacking and Assembly
How to unpack and assembl your robot in 20 minutes.
See RoboThespian Unpacking & Assembly and watch the video.
Setting up supplied compressor
If your RoboThespian is supplied with a compressor please see Compressor Unpacking and Assembly
Connecting RoboThespian to air supply
See #Minimum_Installation_Requirements for compressed air requirements.
RoboThespians are supplied with a blue Festo Push-In-Fit shut-off valve near the base of the robot - rotate the blue knob until it is at 90degrees to the tubing to shut off the air supply and push in the airline
When ready to operate the robot rotate the shut off valve to the on position (blue knob parallel to the tubing)
Note there is a small arrow on the shut-off valve, which indicates the direction of flow. If the valve is removed and replaced, make sure it is mounted with the arrow in the direction of air flow (i.e. pointing from the compressor to the robot)
If there are any loud leaks of air, switch the air off again and check the airline into the robot's torso is securely fitted.
You are now ready to plug the kiosk into the mains power. RoboThespian will start up as soon as he has power!
Control your RoboThespian from the touchscreen kiosk
Access RoboThespian's Control Panel
When connected to your LAN, you can access and control RoboThespian and modify settings.
Please see http://wiki.engineeredarts.co.uk/Tritium_GUI for further details.
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.
