Populate the GENIE E18 Motor Control Board as shown using the components supplied in the kit and attach flying leads and solderless LED holders as above.

Consult the PDF GENIE E18 Motor Board for assistance.

Ensure the components and flying leads are soldered properly.

Note: Some components in kit may vary from those shown above e.g. the capacitors.

• The above is the nylon part to create the coupler for the wheels.• Drill a piece of nylon straight through to a diameter of 5mm.• Drill halfway through to a diameter of 5.5mm.

• Tap the lego part in with a hammer.• The lego part can be cut to size later depending

on the size of the wheels you use.

• Solder in the motors. It’s not important which way the cables are connected as this can be adjusted with the software.

• The above is a picture of the motor attached to the wheel.• Some hot glue can be put into the coupler to attach it to the

motor• Note how the lego part is cut to size.

The circuit board (and outer case) can be attached using Foamex. Superglue foamex onto the front panel where the respective holes will be. In the case of the foamex pieces for the outer case, they should be 3mm from the edge. Use 3mm self taping screws.

Insert the LDRs through the 1mm holes. Superglue them in place and then solder them to their respective cables.

Solderless LED holders can also be used if available. This also removes the need for Superglue.

Use sticky Velcro pads to attach the battery pack to the inside of the Robot. This way the battery pack is easily removable for battery replacement.

The motors should be glued in using the hot glue gun. Make sure the wheels fit inside the 100 x 100 mm box.

Some masking tape can be wrapped around each motor to protect the connections and stop them from touching.

IR Sensor

• Attach the IR sensorwith screws as shown

The square and rectangularpieces should line up withthe slots in the plastic.

Troubleshooting

The main problems that can arise when using GENIE boards are as follows:

1. Connection problems caused by poorly soldered joints.

2. USB driver not/incorrectly installed.

3. Components incorrectly installed e.g. microchip inserted wrong way around.

Please consult the GENIE Troubleshooting Guide.pdf located in this folder for further information or use the GENIE troubleshooting tool.

All necessary software, drivers and the GENIE troubleshooting tool can be downloaded free from www.genieonline.com
