To use the mobile robot with the AMAS app, the following steps need to followed:
Make sure the mobile robot is at sufficient charge.
Take the Aviation connector supplied with the mobile robot, and connect the USB to CAN communication module as per the instructions in the User manual provided by AgileX to pin number 3 and 4.\
For the Cortex supply, a DC-DC converter is needed. Connect the VCC and GND pin to the correct Input pins of the DC-Dc converter.
Please note, different platforms from AgileX have different voltage output. Please consult either AgileX or Extend Robotics for the converters needed.
Once all the connections are made, plug the Aviation connector to the socket on the mobile robot. The entire system setup should be configured as depicted below:
Connect the power supply for the Router, Cortex and Camera/Sensor(s).
Connect the Sensor(s) to the Cortex using the splitter cable. Connect each sensor, matching the number indicated on the cable.
Configure the router settings to give network access to the Cortex IP address, which is found on the Cortex case.
Ensure that the robot's emergency stop is released.
Once all connections are made, switch on the robot and wait for everything to initialize.
If all components start correctly, the robot should get out of the parking mode and the control.
