Operating Instructions

Remote Control

Use the Makerzoid app's remote control interface to drive and manipulate your robot. The app allows for various movements and actions depending on the robot model built. Experiment with different control schemes to master your robot's movements.

Programming

The Makerzoid app features a graphical drag-and-drop programming interface. This allows users to create custom behaviors for their robots, such as following lines, avoiding obstacles, detecting distance, and controlling LED lights. The app also offers 23 instructive video courses to guide users through machine structural, dynamics, and programming concepts step-by-step.

Infrared Distance Sensor

The infrared distance sensor enables the robot to perform different actions by detecting objects. It releases and receives infrared rays to measure distance, allowing for interactive responses.

• Follow Mode: The robot can be programmed to follow objects or lines.
• Avoidance Mode: The robot can be programmed to detect and avoid obstacles in its path.
• Drawing Mode: The sensor can be utilized in conjunction with other components for creative functions, such as guiding the robot to draw patterns.
