Figure 6-6. Joystick Buttons and Trigger
Use the joystick to drive the Lynx platform manually. Squeeze the trigger to enable the drive
button.
Push the drive button forward or back to make the platform move in that direction. Push the
drive button to the side to make the platform rotate in that direction. Diagonal positions of the
drive button move the platform in an arc.
The Adept Lynx platform slows to a stop when you release the trigger. To stop more quickly,
continue to squeeze the trigger and pull or push the drive button to its limit in the opposite dir-
ection of the platform’s travel.
The joystick’s GOAL button is for marking positions while making a map scan. When not mak-
ing maps, press GOAL to enter Follow Mode. See Follow Mode on page 40.
WARNING: The Adept Lynx Platform Safety Scanning Laser is not tied
into the E-Stop chain when driven using the joystick. The platform will
still avoid obstacles detected by the Safety Scanning Laser. The sonar, on
the other hand, are disabled entirely when driving with the joystick.
