Downloading your Program
Your control program can be downloaded and run by the K’NEX Robotics interface away
from the computer.
To download a program:
1. Connect a K’NEX Robotics interface to the PC via the USB cable (or Wi-Fi connection
if installed).
2. Click the “Connect” icon in the K’NEX Programming Software.
3. Click “Download”.
4. Select which program location you wish to save the program to and click “Download
Program”.
5. Enter a name for the control program and click “OK”.
6. Close the “Download Manager” box by clicking the “X” in the upper right corner.
NOTES:
• Only 15 characters of a program name will be visible on the K’NEX Robotics
interface LCD screen, so only 15 characters can be used in the download name.
• Once you have downloaded a program to the K’NEX Robotics Control Box, the
download name will be saved to the control program and will be displayed in
parenthesis at the top of the software window.
• If you choose to save a program to a slot which is already occupied, you will be
prompted to confirm overwriting the existing file.
• If you wish to clear all existing programs from your K’NEX Robotics interface, use
the delete all function in the control box menus - see page 5 in the hardware section.
