Shutdown using touchscreen

Access the administration section as detailed here

  1. Under the 'System' tab in the Robot section press 'Shutdown' (Labelled 5 in screenshot) to shut down RoboThespian. A message will confirm that RoboThespian is shutting down.
  2. Quickly, press the 'Shutdown' button in the Touchscreen section (Labelled 10 in screenshot) to shut down the touchscreen.

Wait for RoboThespian to fully shut down - you will hear a "pop" as RoboThespian's computer switches off, and the fan on the computer on RoboThespian's back will stop turning. You will notice RoboThespian's eye screens and (if fitted) body LEDs will continue to have power.

It may be that the touchscreen disconnects from RoboThespian before you have a chance to complete step 2. In this case...

  1. The touchscreen will be unable to connect to RoboThespian (as he is shutting down). When the connection error screen appears enter the administration section again
  2. Shut down the touchscreen using the 'Shutdown' button in the Touchscreen section (Labelled 10 in screenshot).

Wait for touchscreen PC to fully shut down – it will close the interface, return to the command prompt and power itself off

Switch off the mains power at the inlet or isolator

  1. 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:
