AMIGO Basic rules

AMIGO's natural habitat is the TU/e testlab. Please note that the testlab is used for testing, it is not a storage room! Before starting, the following items (at location) should be acquired:

• AMIGO
• Batteries
  • Note: that full batteries must be in an upright position and empty or ''I don't know'' batteries on their side.
  • Always make sure when replacing batteries, that you change them one at a time.
  • When not testing AMIGO should be connected to the external power supply, which is located at the cabinet in the corner of the room.
• Emergency switches
  • Wireless
  • Wired (on the PC's at AMIGO's back)
  • When AMIGO's hardware is enabled (emergency button released) 1 person is responsible for holding the wireless emergency button. This person must never leave AMIGO unattended.
• DevPC or PC with communication to AMIGO (there is a demo laptop and router that you can take to demos)
