Platform interfaces
The 5V,GND and 12V power output:
A 5V output, GND and a 12V filtered battery
output are accessible on a screw clamp located
under the upper support. Red is 5V, black GND
and green the 12V output respectively. The 5V
output can’t give more than 6A and a maximum
of 6A is recommended too for the 12V output.
An incorrect use of this connector beyond those
values (short circuit or other) can provoke a
malfunction of the platform or of the DC/DC
converter and even damage it.
The charging connector:
This connector presents directly the + and –
of the platform batteries. This allows to plug
the included charger without the need of
taking the batteries out of their pockets for
charging them.
Note : When charging the platform make sure
the power switch is OFF so the charger does
not find the robot in march.
