Introduction
All Orion Robotics brackets are made in the USA. We fabricate them using a large in-house industrial
laser. We anodized our brackets to prevent oxidation. This gives the bracket a much better look and
longer life.
Servos
The Orion Robotics robots are built around special robotics servos we developed. Our servos are custom
manufactured and assembled in the USA. Our robotic servos allow us to create unique features for each
of our robots.
Tools
There are some basic tools you will need to get started. A good set of Phillips screw drivers and small
pliers. Different sized screws are used throughout each robot. So more than one size Phillips is a good
ideal.
Safety
When working with robots some basic safety rules should be followed:
1. Eye protection should be worn at all times.
2. Some bracket edges can be sharp and can easily cut you.
3. The robots are powered from lithium polymer, or Li-Po, batteries with high discharge rates. If shorted
or incorrectly connected they can easily cause re or other damaged.
4. The servos in these robots are high power and can easily cause injury. Make sure you are clear of the
robot on rst power up or during operation.
5. When working with the robots there are several pinch points. Be aware as this will hurt if you get
caught in them.
6. Don’t be in a rush when assembly your robots. Injury or damaged parts can easily result. Take your
time and double check each step.

Servo Setup
If you are using the Orion Robotics HV220 Digital Servo, it has a range of +/-100° of rotation CCW and
CW from the center. Each servo should be set for maximum range of motion on each joint before nal
installation. Any robot part that is attached to a servo disc should be set to the proper angle so the
range of motion is not limited.
If you are using the Orion Robotics HV220R Advanced Digital Servo, it has a full 360 degree rotation
capability and always has maximum range of motion. No special adjustments are necessary before nal
installation.

Orion Setup
Set all the VS / VCC jumpers to VS. This puts the main input voltage (VIN) on the servo power pin.
For most congurations wire the main battery to GND / S+. Make sure JP6 are jumpered in the correct
orientation. JP6 combines the logic power and servo power. This minimizes wiring. In some applications
you make need to supply a separate logic battery. This is caused by the servos drawing to much power
for a brief period and the battery drops out. Which then causes logic to reset. This will not usually
happen when using Li-Po batteries. If you use NiMh batteries you may need the separate logic battery.
