Debugging Dobot M1
Prerequisites
 You have launched the M1Studio.
 You have connected the Dobot M1 to the PC over a serial cable or a network cable.
 You have connected the Dobot M1 to the emergency stop switch.
Procedure
When powering on the Dobot M1, the yellow LED indicator in the base is steady on
for about 15 seconds, and then blinks once. It is steady on again for about 5 seconds,
which indicates that the Dobot M1 is being started.
After the yellow LED indicator in the base is off, the green one is steady on for about
5 seconds, and then is blinking, which indicates that the Dobot M1 is in service.
NOTICE
When first powering on the robotic arm, please check the Z-axis or J3 value from
M1Studio. If the value is below 10mm, a limitation alarm is generated and meanwhile
the red indicator on the base of robotic arm will be on, this is a normal phenomenon. At
that point, you need to click J3+ under the Joint coordinate system to jog the robotic arm
to the position where the J3 value is above 10mm, and then the alarm will be cleared.
If Connect turns to Disconnect, the connection is successful, and Dobot M1 can be
controlled by M1Studio.
