1. Charging the Evo Robot

Before first use, fully charge your Ozobot Evo robot.

  1. Connect the small end of the charging cable to the charging port on the Evo robot.
  2. Connect the USB end of the charging cable to a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
  3. The Evo's LED lights will indicate charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 60 minutes.
  4. Thaum them tag nrho, disconnect tus cable.

2. Pib Calibration

Calibrating your Evo ensures accurate line following and color code recognition.

  1. Turn on the Evo robot by pressing the power button.
  2. Place the Evo on a white surface or the calibration card provided in the Get Started activities.
  3. Hold the Evo steady until its lights flash, indicating successful calibration.

Cov lus qhia ua haujlwm

1. Screen-Free Coding with Color Codes

Ozobot Evo can be programmed using specific color sequences drawn with the provided markers.

  1. Use the dual-tip Color Code Markers to draw lines and color codes on a white surface.
  2. Ensure lines are thick enough for the Evo's sensors to detect (approximately 1/4 inch or 6mm).
  3. Place the Evo on a drawn line. The robot will follow the line and execute commands based on the color codes it encounters.
  4. Experiment with different color code sequences to make Evo perform various actions like speed changes, turns, and special moves. Refer to the Get Started guide for a list of color codes.

2. Online Coding with Ozobot Blockly

For more advanced programming, connect your Evo to Ozobot Blockly via a compatible device (tablet or computer).

  1. Download the Ozobot Evo app or visit the Ozobot Blockly website on your device.
  2. Ensure your Evo robot is charged and turned on.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your Evo with the device via Bluetooth.
  4. Use the drag-and-drop block-based coding interface to create programs for your Evo. Ozobot Blockly offers five skill levels, from beginner to master.
  5. Upload your code to the Evo and observe its actions.

Kev tu

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ozobot Evo:

  • Ntxuav: Gently wipe the Evo's exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the optical sensors on the bottom are clean for accurate line detection.
  • Cia: Store the Evo robot and accessories in the provided zip case when not in use to protect them from dust and damage.
  • Kev kho roj teeb: Recharge the battery regularly. Avoid completely draining the battery for extended periods. If storing for a long time, charge the battery to about 50% before storage.
  • Kev Saib Xyuas Cov Cim: Keep the caps on the Color Code Markers when not in use to prevent them from drying out.
  • Software hloov tshiab: Periodically check for firmware updates for your Evo robot through the Ozobot Evo app or Ozobot Blockly website to ensure you have the latest features and improvements.
