Mechanical switch tends to lose connection due to excessive vibration, particularly after it has worn out. We definitely do not want our robot to lose power momentarily and reset itself during any competition. Thus, we have come out with our unique shock-proof on\/off circuitry. When the power is turned on, lose of connection or disconnected slide switch will not turn the circuit off. Instead, it will need to connect to the opposite contact point to turn the power off.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo demonstrate this feature, we purposely remove the case of the slide switch. The board is turned on when the slide switch is at ON position. It stays on after that even the contact of the switch is removed.

By connecting the RC receiver to the extra GPIO ports on the Maker Mini Sumo Controller, you can turn your robot into a RC controlled robot (We provide the example code for that). The best part is, it doesn't use up any existing port for sensors and this allows you to participate in both RC and autonomous category with the same robot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cytron.io\/image\/catalog\/products\/MAKER-MSUMO\/Maker%20Mini%20Sumo%20-%20RC%20mode%20(1).png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEasy Troubleshooting\u003c\/b\u003e - Most of the time your program will not work the first time you run it. It requires lots of testing, troubleshooting and fine tuning. We know it because we are programmer too! Thus, we've incorporated some features to ease the troubleshooting and testing process. Motor Test Buttons and LEDs allow us to test the motor direction and connection without writing any code. Opponent Sensors Status LEDs show us whether the opponent is detected and allow us to adjust the sensor detection range easily. Onboard programmable User LED, Potentiometer and Mode Selection 3-Way DIP Switch give us the convenient to test and fine tune our code.
