| |
|
| |
| RAPOSA-NG uses two 4S2P Li-Po batteries with 4800mAh and 14.8V for motors and electronics, respectively. Two LEDs near the lock indicates how much energy is left for the electronics (left) and motors (right).
| |
|
| |
| It is also possible to use an external power supply for the electronics.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === Switch on/off ===
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Motors and electronics are also switched on/off independently.
| |
|
| |
| To switch on/off the electronics, place the key into the lock and turn it.
| |
|
| |
| If the external power supply is connected and on, the electronics are immediately on. Remove the external power supply to switch off the electronics.
| |
|
| |
| To switch on/off the motors, simply press the red button at the bottom-left top corner. If the light is on, the motors are on.
| |
|
| |
| To switch on/off the computer, press the gray button near the lock after switching on the electronics until a green LED lits.
