• FS RC transmitter is an optional feature of SCOUT MINI for users to choose as actually required. With this RC transmitter designed on the left throttle in this product, users can easily control SCOUT MINI universal robot chassis. Its definitions and functions are shown in Figure for reference.
• The RC transmitter is preset the mapping of keys at factory. Do not arbitrarily change the key mapping, otherwise normal control will be unavailable.
• The lever SWB switches control mode;
• The lever SWC is the manual control switch to control the light off;
• The lever SWD controls speed mode;
• The left rocker controls forward and backward movement;
• The right rocker controls the vehicle for left rotation and right rotation. It is worth noting that the mobile chassis on the internal control is mapped by percentage, so the speed will be constant when the lever is in the same position.

Description of movement by remote control and control by command

A reference coordinate system shown in Figure 3.0 is established in accordance with ISO 8855 standard for moving vehicles on ground.

• As shown in above Figure, the vehicle body of SCOUT MINI is in parallel with X axis of the established reference coordinate system. In the controller mode with RC transmitter, pushing the left rocker of the RC transmitter forward and backward respectively refers to the movement on the positive and negative directions of axis X; when the left rocker of the RC transmitter is pushed to the maximum position, the speed of movement towards the position direction of axis X reaches the maximum; when the left rocker of the RC transmitter is pushed to the minimum position, the speed of movement towards the negative direction of axis X reaches the maximum; the right rocker of the RC transmitter controls the rotational movement of vehicle body to left and right; pushing the right rocker of the RC transmitter to left and right respectively refers to the rotational movement of vehicle body from the positive direction of axis X to the positive direction of axis Y and from the positive direction of axis X to the negative direction of axis Y; when the right rocker of the RC transmitter is pushed to the maximum position on the left, the rotational linear speed on anticlockwise direction reaches the maximum; when the right rocker of the RC transmitter is pushed to the maximum position on the right, the rotational linear speed on clockwise direction reaches the maximum.
• In the control command mode, the positive value of linear speed refers to movement towards the positive direction of axis X, and the negative value of linear speed refers to movement towards the negative direction of axis X; the positive value of angular speed refers to the rotational movement of vehicle body from the positive direction of axis X to the positive direction of axis Y, and the negative value of angular speed refers to the rotational movement of vehicle body from the positive direction of axis X to the negative direction of axis Y.

Instructions on lighting control

Lights are mounted in front and at back of SCOUT MINI, and the lighting control interface of SCOUT MINI is open to the users for convenience. Meanwhile, another lighting control interface is reserved on the RC transmitter for energy saving. There are 3 kinds of lighting modes controlled with RC transmitter, which can be switched among each other by SWC lever toggling:

• Normally closed mode: In normally closed mode, if the chassis is still, the light will be turned off; if the chassis is in the traveling state at certain normal speed, the light will be turned on.
• Normally open mode: In normally open mode, if the chassis is still, the light will be normally on; if in motion mode, the light will be turned on.
• Breathing light mode: The light is in breathing mode. Note on mode control: Toggling SWC lever respectively to bottom, middle and top positions refer to normally closed mode, normally open mode and breathing light mode.
