Connecting the controller to your PC is not necessary for basic R/C operation. However, it 
is a very simple procedure that is useful for the following purposes:

to Read and Set the programmable parameters with a user-friendly graphical inter-
face

to obtain the controller’s software revision and date

to send precise commands to the motors

to read and plot real-time current consumption value

Save captured parameters onto disk for later analysis

to update the controller’s software

To connect the controller to your PC, use the provided cable. Connect the 15-pin connector 
to the controller. Connect the 9-pin connector to your PC’s available port (typically COM1) - 
use a USB to serial adapter if needed. Apply power to the controller to turn it on.

Load your CD or download the latest revision of Roborun software from 
www.Roboteq.com, install it on your PC and launch the program. The software will auto-
matically establish communication with the controller, retrieve the software revision num-
ber and present a series of buttons and tabs to enable its various possibilities.
