Re: How do you wire up the Operator Interface?

No problem. In your kit of parts you should have gotten a wall adapter in a white box. Plug the adapter into the wall and the small socket in the board labeled "POWER" then you plug your controllers into the "PORT1", "PORT2", PORT3", or "PORT4" sockets. Using one of the black cables, hook the "OPERATOR INTERFACE CONTROLLER" radio transmitter to the socket labeled "RADIO". The last thing you need to do (although it does not have an effect on the controlling) is the small dipswitch board labeled "TEAM NUMBER" fiddle around with the switches using a paperclip or something to turn the switches on and off (the LCD screen should change numbers with each ON/OFF dipswitch). And in case your radio doesn't work You can tether the robot to the OI using the orange cable and plugging both ends into the robot "TETHER" and OI "TETHER" sockets.
There that should help you.
