ROBOTIS e-Manual v1.09.00
[RC-100A]
This is a devices to communicate with the robot via IR, ZIGbee, or Bluetooth.
If nothing is mounted the default communications is via IR.
Mount the ZIG-100 to communicate via ZIGbee.
mount the BT-100 to communicate via Bluetooth (RC-100 not supported)
The RC-100 lights green and RC-100A lights blue when mounted with a ZIGbee or Bluetooth module. |
Wireless communication packet can be transmitted using IR-Receiver-installed CM-100A, CM-510 and CM-530.
Wireless communication packet can be transmitted using ZIG-100 module-installed CM-5.
Wireless communication packet can be transmitted using ZIG-110 module-installed CM-100A, CM-510 and CM-530.
The BT-100A can be mounted onto cm-100a, cm-510, cm-530, and cm-700, and transmit data wirelessly.
Communication mode can be checked using the LED of RC-100.
o You can see the red LED is turned on as below.
o You
can see the blue LED is turned on as below.
(Green LED for RC-100)
Can set communication channel in between 1 ~8 for controlling by IR wireless communication. To connect the wireless communication, the channel setting of receiver should be the same with that of sender. Following is the method for IR wireless communication channel setting. (Please refer here to see the channel setting method of controller )
| During an impact the zig-100/bt-100 may be dismounted from the rc-100. In this case rc-100 defaults to IR communications. |
It is possible to set 4 channels with buttons, if the ZIG-100 on RC-100Z was set at Broadcasting Mode (Multi: Multi communication mode).
Channels can be changed if you press the number buttons (1~4) together while MODE buttons are being pressed.
The red LED will blink as many as the channel no. , when the channel is changed.
Caution 1 : At initial status, it is of no use to change the channel because it is automatically set at One: One communication mode, instead of Multi : Multi communication mode. Caution 2 : The ZIG-100 communication can be discontinued for seconds when changing the channels. Caution 3 : When you take away batteries, the channel will be reset at initial status automatically and you need to reset it. |
| Button 5 and 6 are not available under IR control mode. |
When you press the buttons on RC-100, corresponding code value of each button will be sent out.
When more than 2 buttons are pressed, the sum of pressed code values will be sent.
EX1) Button U + Button 3 => Code value of Button U (1) + Code value of Button 3 (64) = Sending Value (65)
EX2) Button 1 + Button 5 => Code value of Button 1 (16) + Code value of Button 5 (256) = Sending Value (272)
※ There are 128 combination keys usable in IR Mode.
※ There are 512 combinations keys usable in Zigbee Mode.
The RC-100 uses the communication packet in the form below
~ represents Inverse (1’s Complement)
Ex) ~0xAA ㅡ> 0x55, ~0xF0 ㅡ> 0x0F
Ex) DATA : 0x1234
Packet : 0xFF 0x55 0x34 0xCB 0x12 0xED
