Turning on the Robot

How to Turn on the Robot

With the Power Supply

Step 1: Grounding yourself

Touch the metal frame of the robot to ground yourself and prevent any static electricity from breaking the robot.

Step 2: Connecting the power supply to the robot

Connect the power cable to the robot. It has two wires, black and red with a yellow tip. This connects to a similar cable on the robot.

Step 3: Turning on the power supply

Flip the switch at the face of the power supply so that that vertical line (|) is pushed down. Once the power supply has powered on completely, tap the "Output" button so that the current voltage is displayed. The voltage should be greater than 24 Volts but less than 29 Volts, preferably 25 Volts.

Step 4: Turning on the breaker

Ground yourself again. On the left side of the robot, there is a black breaker with a small black lever protruding from the top of it. Push that down so that it is flush with the breaker. Power is now going to the robot and you should see some lights on the Jetson.

Step 5: Powering on the Jetson

Ground yourself again. Push the red button on the Jetson closest to the Husky logo until some green lights come on then let go.
