Operation

Check the RANGER MINI 2.0 status Check whether there is any obvious abnormality in the RANGER MINI 2.0; if so, please contact after-sales support; When using it for the first time, check whether the power switch(Q3) in the rear electrical panel is pressed, if pressed, please press it, and then release it. At this time, the power switch is released, and the RANGER MINI 2.0 is powered off.

Power on and off

The Q3 button on the tail is a switch button. When pressed, the power is turned on and the robot is powered on.

Charge

Check the battery voltage, the normal voltage range is 45-54V, if the front light flashes, it means the battery voltage is too low, please charge it in time. This product is equipped with a 10A charger by default.

RANGER MINI 2.0 use manual for ROS

ROS (Robot Operating System) provides some standard operating system services, such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. ROS is based on a graph architecture, where processing takes place in nodes that may receive, post, and multiplex various information (such as sensor data, control, state, planning, and other messages). Currently ROS mainly supports UBUNTU OS.
