Programming

Programming instructions

Establish WIFI connection

  1. After powering on, the device creates an AP with SSID name "AXTT-##-##-##-##-##-##".
  2. Please open the WIFI settings of your device and connect to that WIFI. In case of "No internet connection" warnings, just ignore those messages and keep the WIFI connected
  3. Open your browser and enter the address http://192.168.4.1 to access the robot's web interface

Troubleshooting

My Ax2WDRobot doesn't turn on

  1. The battery protection circuit prevents powering on as long as there was no initial charge from USB port.
    • Insert the battery, then connect a USB cable (either from PC or from a USB charger) to start charging/enabling the battery.

I can't update the firmware; Error during firmware Upload

  1. Please make sure that the required drivers are installed on the machine. For manual installation of the Universal drivers (VCP drivers are not required), see https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads
  2. The Ax2WDRobot requires a charged battery and must be turned on to upload the firmware
