Step 1: Connect a 8-24 volt DC
power source to the iAMdriver via the
2-Pin Power Connection. The
regulator gets very hot over 12 volts
so avoid touching it, should you need
to remove the transparent red cover.
Step 2: Verify power is connected by
looking for a solid green LED, that
actually appears orange due to the
transparent red cover. The blinking
red LED indicates that the MCU is
alive and awaiting connection to the
iAMdriver app.
Step 3: Go to Settings on your
iDevice and turn on Airplane Mode.
Note: this will disable all other
wireless connections.
Step 4: Locate the SSID
iAMdriverXXXXX, where XXXXX is
the number found on the bar code
label on the iAMdriver circuit board.
Step 5: Speed up your network
connection time by setting up a static
IP address.
Step 6: Once the network appears in
the status bar, launch the iAMdriver
App. The Configure page allows you
to enter the IP address and port.
IP: 192.168.0.88
Port: 32483

Step 7: In the app, switch
Connection to ON. When the link is
established, the LED icon will turn
from red to green. Also, the blinking
red LED on the circuit board will go
out.
Step 8: Ready to Test: Go to the
Drive Screen on the App and press
the buttons ( , , , X ) and
observe the corresponding LEDs
illuminating on the circuit board.
Step 9: Ready to Drive: Before you
connect active motor controllers,
make sure you have selected the
proper drive type (Skid Steer, Tri-
Lambda, Mecanum, etc.). You can
now connect digital outputs and
PWM-based motor controllers to the
iAMdriver.
!!! Warning !!!
Do not connect more than 2 standard servos that draw power
from the iAMdriver board (current is limited to 100ma total for all
servos). You can connect any number of speed controllers since
they do not draw power from the iAMdriver. If you need to drive
more than 2 servos, use an independent supply with common
ground.
