Download Manual for Mini Robot Arm Educational Kit

This means that the example programs above leave 60414 bytes
of free space. The relatively short example program Example_01_
Leds.c is only so big because the Robot ArmBaseLibrary is included!
So, don’t worry, there is enough space for your programs and so
small programs usually don’t need so much memory space. The
function library on its own needs several kb of Flash memory but
makes your job much easier and therefore your own programs will
generally be quite small compared to the Robot ArmBaseLibrary.
The just compiled program can now be uploaded via the
RobotLoader into the robot. To do that, you have to add the newly
generated hex file into the list in the RobotLoader via the button
“Add”, select it and click on the “Upload” button exactly as you
did for the selftest program. After that you can switch back to the
terminal and look at the output of the program. Of course you need
to launch the execution of the program. The easiest way to do it
in the terminal is to press the key combination [STRG]+[S] on the
keyboard or to use the menu (or just to send an “s” - after a reset
you have to wait a little bit though until the message “[READY]” is
displayed in the terminal!). The key combination [STRG]+ [Y] is also
very convenient as the currently selected program is uploaded into
the Robot Arm and immediately started. This avoids to click on the
“Flash Loader” tab in the terminal or to use the menu.
The example program is very simple and is only composed of a
small LED running light and some text output.
