Before assembling
Before installing the robot, you need to install the software (refer to
second half of the document) to control the robot on the Raspberry
Pi. Because the servo needs to be returned to the original position
during the robot assembly process, which requires the assistance of a
Raspberry Pi with software that runs normally.
How to make a servo return to original position
Connect the servo to the Raspberry Pi that is turned on. When the
connection is completed, the servo will immediately run, and it will
automatically return to the original position in a very short time. Then
you can install the rocker arm on the servo at a specified angle.
automatically return ➔install rocker arm
(The type of servo and the installation angle of the rocker arm is for reference only.
Please refer to the actual product and assembly part.)
Whether the servo has returned to original position
You can test whether the servo has returned to original position by
pulling the rocker arm (don't try too hard to prevent damage to the
servo). The servo that has automatically returned cannot be pulled.
If your servo does not return to the original position automatically, you
can manually run the server.py file and then try to connect the servo.

1. Components List
1.1. Acrylic Plates
The acrylic plates are fragile, so please be careful when assembling them in case of breaking.
The acrylic plate is covered with a layer of protective film. You need to remove it first.
Some holes in the acrylic may have residues, so you need to clean them before the use.

18650 battery specification: It is recommended to use lithium battery above 3000mAh and without
overcurrent protection. The power supply current requirement is above 3A. Using 18650 lithium
battery with overcurrent protection function, 18650 battery whose capacity is less than 1700mAh,
18650 battery specially for strong-light flashlight, 18650 battery with power shortage or counterfeit
lithium battery produced by informal manufacturers will cause the unstable work of the robot,power
cut and even damage to the Raspberry Pi and robot.
The robot can be turned on normally,but the Raspberry Pi will automatically restart or shut down
after, also because of the problem caused by the 18650 battery.

4. Before switching on, you need to insert the configured SD card into the Raspberry Pi. For
details, please refer to the third chapter of the document. Otherwise, the servo will not rotate
to the middle position after booting. In the next installation, the servos need to be connected
to the robot HAT. And the Raspberry Pi will automatically adjust the servo to the correct angle.
Turn the switch here to “ON” (power on), the servo will automatically rotate to
the initial position. Wait about one minute for the servo to automatically rotate
to the position of 90°and stay at 90°.Then you can proceed to the next step of
assembly. If there is a power outage during the assembly process, turn on the
power supply again and wait about one minute to continue.
