User Manual
Warming tips
1. The user age should be better than 14, Children under 14 should use it under adult
supervision.
2. When the robot moves, please keep yourself at a safe distance from accidental
injury.
3. When the robot moves, please keep your fingers away from the range of motion
from getting hurt.
4. Please remember to put the robot on a smooth ground if you want to use it.
5. Please remember to turn off the switch to prevent the servo from burning out if
there is something wrong with servo, such as shivering or locked-rotor.
6. Please don’t forcibly twist the joint when the robot is powered on so as not to
cause joint damage caused by that.
7. Please be careful to prevent it from falling from a high place. We will not
responsible for the damage caused by that.
8. Please remember to remember to prevent the battery from over charging or over
discharging. Turn off the switch while you are not using it. If you find the robot start
beeping like” Di Di Di”, please switch off the electricity and charge it right away.
9. If you find the robot moving unsteadily, you can check the capacity of battery,
please remember to charge it when the battery is running out. If there is no problem in
battery, you can check the servo whether it is aging or not. Servo is consumables.It
needs to be replaced after overusing it.
10. If you find the individual servo doesn’t work while you are controlling the robot,
please check the servo wire whether it is loosing or not.
11. After keeping running for over 15 min, please remember to make our robot take a
reset until the servo cools down.
12. Do not take the robot apart by yourself. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact us.
13. If there is a plastic nylon column or copper pillar, please fix the nylon column or
copper column on the control board first to prevent the metal objects from touching
the metal objects at the bottom of the control board during the commissioning process
to burn the control board.
14. When the power line is connected, the positive and negative electrodes are
connected to the control board first, and then you connect the battery to the wiring,
finally, turn on the switch to guard against short circuit. Do not expose the wiring
head when the control panel is connected.
15. When the control board does not connect to the power supply and only connect to
USB, the buzzer will send the alarm, so be sure to connect the power supply, and
generally use 7.4v lithium battery for power supply.
16. If you have trouble with the instruction manual or the complete video tutorial,
you can contact our customer service feedback if there is any problem or suggestion
that you can't solve.

3 Installation and Operation
3.1 Overview
Note:
1. Please adjust all the servo position to the middle place before assembling and the P
value is 500.
2. Please pay attention to distinguish the different types and length of the screw.
3. The servo is not allowed to rotate during assembly. If the servo is not successfully
installed and happen to rotate, please remove it and readjust the servo's P value to
1500.
4. Please connect the Bluetooth in the App not setting. After the connection is
successful, it can be operated. The android version of the App holds down the icon to
change the name of the action.

You will see the picture like below:
If you long press the twisting this button, you can rename this program.
You will see the picture like below:
Note:
1. Each button corresponds to a specific action group, which cannot be repeated, and
the default is those actions, otherwise it will go wrong.
2. The action name can be re-edited after the long press button, but the number cannot
be changed because the number is the unique identification mark of the different
action group and cannot be changed at will.

1. Language
The software automatically recognizes languages, supports Simplified Chinese,
Traditional Chinese, and English, and can also be manually switched.
2. Deviation operation window
3. Introduction of sliding block function of servo
The servo slider can be dragged at will (the default is 1500) range from 500 to
2500. Click the white area of the slider, the slider moves in the direction of the mouse,
the step value is 5, and press and hold will move continuously. When the slider is
sliding, the position value of the servo will also change, which can visually show the
rotation position of the servo at this time.
In the production of robots, due to the errors caused by some installation, some
minor adjustments need to be made. When the adjustment is made, the adjustment
deviation is needed.
Servo deviation (default is 0), the relative position range of the servo is -100-100.
Click on the white area of the slider, the deviation value slider moves towards the
mouse direction, the step value is 1, and press and hold will move continuously. After
adjusting the deviation of each servo, click the "download deviation" button and the
deviation will be downloaded to the control panel. If later want to modify the
deviation, then click on "read error", deviation will be automatically displayed in the
interface, you can manually change, after the change, can download the deviation to
panel again.
Display the deviation in the control board in the interface.
Download the deviation in the control board in the interface.
Return the deviation to 0 status ( middle position).
