The IQ controller can be programmed to switch up to three motors (or other devices) off and on in a desired sequence. Programming is achieved using the three program switches and the 'MEMORY' switch. The 'RUN' switch is used to start or stop a program. The IQ board can store a sequence of up to 60 steps. At each step, any of the three outputs can be switched off and on. You can change the time delay between each step by adjusting the program 'SPEED' dial.
This Example Program shows how to enter and run a program that will turn output 2 and output 3 off and on. Each of the commands will be stored inside the IQ controller board but will only work once the 'RUN' button is selected.
1. Press program button [1] and program button [2] on the IQ controller board. Once selected, a red light will turn on to indicate that the output device has been switched on.
2. Press the 'MEMORY' switch once to save the first sequence in the 'INSTRUCTIONS TABLE' to the IQ controller board.
3. Continue adding each of the command lines shown in the 'INSTRUCTIONS TABLE' to your IQ controller board. Don’t forget to select 'MEMORY' after you’ve added each line and remember that you only want to activate the outputs that are shown in the 'INSTRUCTIONS TABLE'.
4. Once you have added each of the 16 lines in the 'INSTRUCTIONS TABLE' to the IQ controller board, press the 'RUN' switch to launch your robot’s programme.
