Ghost is a STEAM Educational aerial drone kit,
customized for 8-16 years old students and can
enhance the their creative thinking.
Ghost is compatible with LEGO machinery parts,
and it is including the powerful brushless system and
built-in ultrasound and optical flow sensor.
Students can learn the drone structure, assemble
Schematic, and get a deeper understanding about
the aerial drone by the online/offline graphical
programming.

possible to ensure a good connection.
2)Set the “BATT TYPE” as LiPo mode.
3)Set the charging current; select the proper charging current 1A/2A/3A/4A
by the slide switch, we suggest to select 2A for the Ghost battery.
4)Insert the charging cable. Insert the black cable to the black negative
socket with “-”and insert the red cable to the red positive socket with “+”.
