HiTec RoboNova-1 :: How It Works

How It Works

The Key - “Easy to Operate”
ROBONOVA-1, Robot Programming Made Easy.
Users of this exciting robot package have an opportunity to learn robot technology first hand. Programming is simple with the supplied RoboScript and RoboBasic software via the included PC interface cable.

Flexible Applications for All Users in the kit

RoboScript & RoboRemocon
Beginners to robot programming technology will be pleased to use the supplied RoboScript programming software. Without knowing any programming language at all users can create operational subroutines with the click of a mouse.
Use the RoboRemocon software to control your ROBONOVA-1 with the operational data created with RoboScript.

RoboBasic
RoboBasic is a programming tool based on the BASIC programming language and is provided for the more advanced users. Containing specific commands for simple robot operation, RoboBasic can also be used in conjuction with RoboScript to increase the performance of the supplied Micom controller board.

Catch & Play Function
Easy Programming Technique
The simplest way to program ROBONOVA-1 is with the “catch and play” function. Using RoboScript or RoboBasic, just move the robot into any position and click the mouse to “capture” that position. Move the robot into another position and repeat the process. The software then links these “captured” positions and once activated, smoothly transitions the robot’s movements through these programmed positions.

Functional Extensions
ROBONOVA-1 can be retrofitted with several accessory modules and ancillary items to customize its functionality. By adding additional servos and brackets, the head and waist can turn and “gripping” hands can be used. Gyros, acceleration sensors, speech functions, R/C control accessories and more can also be added as they become available.
