ROBO RF DATA LINK OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5 Software
USB Driver
When the PC radio module is connected to the PC for the first time, the associated USB driver must be installed. This works
just like for the ROBO interface and is described in the handbook for the ROBO Pro software in chapter 1.2.
ROBO Pro
Important!!
To operate the ROBO RF data link, the ROBO Pro software version 1.1.2.41 or higher is required. For owners of an older
ROBO Pro version, there is a no−charge update either using the help menu in ROBO PRO, download the new version,
or at www.fischertechnik.de/robopro/update.html. In order to download the update, the computer must be connected
with the Internet.
Installation of Interface−Radio Module
Loosen the four screws on the cover of the
ROBO interface and remove the cover.
Caution!
In order to avoid damage due to electro-
static charging to the printed circuit boards,
we recommend that you ground yourself
before touching the printed circuit boards,
for example, by grasping the metal PC
casing or a water faucet.
Remove the interface−radio module from the
black plastic sheathing and place it on the two
10−pin pin strips of the ROBO interface printed
circuit board (see figure).

The round recess in the printed circuit board
of the data link precisely encloses the large
vertical condenser.
Now, close the cover of the ROBO interface
and tighten the screws. You can only place
the device in operation after this is
completed.
Now connect the interface to the power supply
and after the device is turned on, the green LED
on the printed circuit board of the interface−
radio module blinks alternately with both LEDs,
COM and USB on the interface.
