You will need either a PC or laptop computer to

run the Robo-CIRCLE software. Getting started with

Robo-CIRCLE is easiest if your PC or laptop has the

followingfeatures:

• Harddisk space 15MB

• 800 x 600 Resolution Color Monitor. 1024 x 768

recommended.

• A serial or USB port (requires USB to serial port

converter for USB port - optional)

•

A CD-ROM drive, World Wide Web access, or both.

•

Install Windows ME or newer operating system.

Windows XP Service-pack2 recommended. Also

supports Window Vista and Windows 7.

(1) Flip the i-BOX around and open the battery cover to place

4 “AA” batteries into the battery holder. Please ensure that the

polarity of the placement of your batteries are correct in order for

the i-BOX to function.

(2) Turn on POWER switch. The Red LED light will blink a few times

followed by a Beeping sound from its speaker.

Software installation

(1) Insert Robo-CIRCLE CD-ROM into your drive. Double-click on i-BOX III V133

setup.exe. You will see the Installation Welcome page. Click on the “NEXT”

button to Continue installation.

(2) If do not need to change any specications, click on the “NEXT” button

continue.

(3) Installation is started. i-BOX Utility window is appeared. Yuo can use it for search-

ing the available COM port for interfacing with i-BOX controller board automatically.

(4) Run the program by clicking on the Start > Programs > i-BOX III LogoBlocks

or Criket Logo.

Click Start button

Direct connect to working

Using the USB port, you will  rst need to install the

driver provided by the USB to Serial converter device

that is optional.

(1) Back to the installation CD-ROM, open UCON-232

USB Driver folder to  nd USB driverInstallerV2.xx.exe.

Double-click on this  le to start installation.

(2) Plug the UCON-232S to USB port. Computer will

connect with UCON-232S automatically. Blue LED of

UCON-232S turns on to shows READY connection.

(3) Connect the CX-4 cable between UCON-232S

and i-BOX controller.

How to choose the COM port interfacing

Search and choose by i-BOX III Center software

Check and choose with your own

(1) Connect the CX-4 cable between i-BOX and computer’s COM port.

(2) Run the i-BOX III center from Start > i-BOX III > i-BOX III Center.

(3) i-BOX III Center software will search the COM port available of your computer and

connect with i-BOX automatically.

(4) Click on the LogoBlock or CricketLogo to start the software.

(1) Click the right button mouse on My Computer icon to choose Properties. The System

Properties window is appeared. Select Hardware > Device Manager. Choose Ports listing

(COM & LPT). Observe the number of Communication port (COMx). If using the UCON-232S

device, the port name will display USB Serial Port (COMx) instead. Remember the COM port

number to set in the software later.

(2) For LogoBlocks software, select menu Edit > Preferences.. Choose the COM port

interfaced from step (1) and click on the OK button. For Cricket Logo, you can set the COM

port interfaced at Serial port combobox on the main screen.

How to develop Robo-CIRCLE

programming

Connect the download cable

to i-BOX III controller.

Robo-CIRCLE development is divided into 3 parts.

Part-1 : Prepare and construct the Robot from

chassis, motors, wheels and other mechanical parts

Part-2 : Learn about i-BOX controller and Sensors

Part-3 : Controlled program

Construct the robot.

summary of LogoBlocks

LogoBlocks is a unique software that lets you create iconic programs to control the

i-BOX III controller. To create programs, you just drag blocks form the palette (on the

bottom left of the screen) and snap them together on the canvas (on the right side

of the screen). The buttons on the bottom left let you switch between palettes, each

containing a different set of commands.

ZX-LED : The LED output board

introduction

How it work ?

Interfacing with i-BOX III

The ZX-LED is digital output device module. The LED will lit when get the logic “1”

A light emitting diode (LED) emits light when current passes through it. The color of the LED usually just tells you what

color it will glow when current passes through it. The important markings on an LED are contained in its shape.

Since an LED is a one-way current valve, you have to make sure to connect it the right way, or it won’t work as intended.

LED has 2 terminals. One is called the anode, and the other is called the cathode. On the schematic symbol, the cath-

ode is the line across the point of the triangle and part drawing. For the part drawing, note that the LED’s leads are

different lengths. The longer lead is connected to the LED’s anode, and the shorter lead is connected to its cathode.

ZX-LED includes a transistor to drive current for supporting the low source current output port of microcontroller.

It ensures the LED on when the logic “1” applied to input.

ZX-LED is output device. Must connect with P0 and P1;

the digital output port of i-BOX III controller following the

gure on left. There is 4 command blocks for controlling

the ZX-LED

Set P0 as logic “1” (+5V)
