5. Operating Instructions
The VANLINNY Robotic Arm offers dual-control flexibility: via a dedicated remote control or through a mobile application.
5.1 Remote Control Operation
Insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) into the remote control. Power on the robotic arm and the remote control. The remote control allows for direct manipulation of the arm's movements and gripper functions. Refer to the included instruction manual for specific button assignments.
5.2 Mobile App Programming and Control
Download the official VANLINNY control app from your device's app store. Connect your mobile device to the robotic arm via Bluetooth. The app provides two primary modes:
- Remote Control Mode: Use the virtual joysticks and buttons on the app interface to control the arm in real-time.
- Programming Mode: Utilize drag-and-drop block-based coding or Python scripts to create custom movement sequences. This mode is ideal for learning basic programming concepts and complex automation.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the building blocks and electronic components. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the electronic parts.
- Storage: Store the robotic arm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: Recharge the main unit's battery as needed. Do not overcharge. Remove AAA batteries from the remote control if not in use for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Inspection: Periodically check for loose connections or damaged parts. Tighten any loose screws or reassemble any detached blocks.
7. Troubleshooting
- Arm Not Responding:
- Ensure the main unit is fully charged and powered on.
- Check if the remote control batteries are correctly inserted and not depleted.
- Verify Bluetooth connection for app control.
- Movements are Flimsy or Shaky:
- Recheck all block connections, especially around joints and motor areas, to ensure they are secure.
- Ensure no parts are obstructing the movement of gears or linkages.
- Confirm that the weight of the object being lifted does not exceed the 300g limit.
- App Connection Issues:
- Restart the app and the robotic arm.
- Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled.
- Check for app updates.
- Missing Parts: If you discover any missing parts during assembly, please contact customer support immediately.
