The Freescale robot (FSLBOT) kit
operates with the Tower mechatronics
(TWR-MECH) board to create an easy-to-
use mechatronics development and
demonstration platform. It is designed
specifically to be used and programmed
with StickOS®BASIC. More advanced
users can take programming to new levels
of functionality with the use of CodeWarrior
and Freescale’s Tower System.
TWR-MECH BOARD
Freescale Tower System
The TWR-MECH board is part of the Freescale Tower
System, a modular development platform that enables
rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigurable
hardware. Take your design to the next level and begin
constructing your Tower System today.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions for StickOS
StickOS BASIC is a programming
language and an IDE. It’s specifically
designed to allow those with little or no
programming experience to get up and
running quickly with the TWR-MECH
board. It also provides complex
functionality such as vision filters and
face tracking.
Install StickOS
1. Open an Internet browser of your
choice and navigate to
freescale.com/mechbot
1
2. Select the “Download” tab. Scroll
through the list of downloads and select
FSLBOT_StickOS_IDE. Click “Download”
and save the file to an easily accessible
place on your computer.
3. Decompress the downloaded file.

Configure Drivers
with Windows®XP
1. Ensure “Search for the best driver in
these locations” is selected. Also, the
“Include this location in the search” box
should be checked. Click “Browse” and
navigate to the folder of the recently
downloaded file. Click “OK,” followed
by “Next.”
Connect the USB Cable
1. Plug the included FSLBOT USB cable
into the computer and into the left rear
mini-USB port on the board (labeled
USB OTG).
2. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will
appear. Choose “Install” from a list or
specific location (Advanced). Click “Next.”

Install CodeWarrior
• Downloadandinstallthelatestversion
of CodeWarrior for ColdFire V2 from
freescale.com.
• DownloadtheCodeWarriorsamplecode
for the Freescale mechatronics robot. This
can be found on the Freescale website
on the right hand side of the TWR-MECH
page under “Featured Software.”
Connect the USB Cable
Connect the USB cable to the PC and the
other end to the J17 on the TWR-MECH
board, also labeled “DEBUG.”
Configure Drivers
Allow PC to automatically configure drivers
if needed. If you have driver problems, please
see the TWR-MECH driver installation guide
located in the sample code folder mentioned
above, or visit pemicro.com/osbdm.
Installation Instructions for CodeWarrior

Launch Software
Launch CodeWarrior for ColdFire V2.
Close the startup box, and click “File >
Open” to open the sample code.
The file path is: TWR_MECH_FSLBOT_
Cadewarrior_Sample_CODE/ mcf5225x_
SC_FreeBot/build/cw/twr-mcf5225x/TWR
_Mechatronics_MCF5225X_base.mcp.
You are now ready to start programming
with CodeWarrior.
Note: On/Off switch must be in “On”
position for the servos to activate.
