Re: General question about the robot controller

To power it on, you need to have it wired to a 12V source and the 7.2V backup battery. There is a diagram in the wiring manual indicating recommended wiring that is pretty easy to follow. You CAN have it without the breaker and wired directly to the battery, but that is an extremely risky thing to do because if you get a short, it could destroy your RC.

As soon as it has power, it'll turn on. Note that it will turn on (I think) without the backup battery, but the backup battery is what powers the servos, so you need it in order to do your testing.

Attach the program cable (serial cable) from the program port on the RC to a serial port on your PC. You'll probably need to specify in easyC which serial port it is connected to.

To get a program onto it, you'll need it turned on. Then, press the program button (little black button with prog or program written next to it) until the lights on the front change to indicate program mode. At this point, you should be able to transfer the program from the computer via the program cable. I'm not sure what the process is on the computer side for easyC, so I'll leave that to someone else.
