COMMAND
 
DESCRIPTION
 
KEYWORD
 <value> 
Alone, a keyword displays current, edited 
value. Add argument to change current value. 
c or constants 
Display all constant parameters. You cannot 
edit these. 
v or variables
 
Display all variable parameter values which you 
may edit and eventually save to your robot’s 
FLASH. 
r or restore 
<paramsfile>
 
Restores variables to values currently stored 
in FLASH or from a paramsfile on disk 
save <paramsfile>
 
Saves current edited values to FLASH or saves 
current edited values to pathname on disk for 
later reference. 
q or quit
 
Exits AROScf. 
connect <portname
Connects AROScf with microcontroller through 
serial port (COM1 or /dev/ttyS0 default) 
disconnect 
Disconnects AROScf from your robot’s 
microcontroller

While changing parameter values in AROScf Interactive Mode, you are editing a 
temporary copy; your changes are not put into effect in your robot’s FLASH until you 
explicitly "save" them to the microcontroller.  
Also use the AROScf save command to save a copy of the parameters to a disk file for 
later upload.  We strongly recommend that you save each version of your robot’s 
parameter values to disk for later retrieval should your microcontroller get damaged or its 
FLASH inadvertently erased.  Default parameter files come with each AROS distribution, 
but it is tedious to reconstruct an individual robot’s unique configuration. 
PID P
ARAMETERS
 
The AROS configuration parameters include settings for the PID motors controls for 
translation and rotation of the robot.  The translation values also are used for 
independent-wheel mode. The default values are for a moderately loaded robot.  
Experiment with different values to improve the performance of your robot in its current 
environment.
