ER1 User Guide 2-3
Optional Second Camera
Robot Specifications
Your robot's specifications are:
• Size: 24" x 16" x 15" (H x W x D)
• 20 lbs without the laptop
Laptop Requirements
Important Note: The laptop is not included with your purchase.
Your robot requires a Windows-based laptop with:
•Pentium
®
III class, Intel
®
Celeron
®
, or AMD processor - 500 MHz or faster
• 128 MB RAM
• 250 MB Hard Disk Space
• Two USB ports (directly on laptop or via hub). One port connects the camera to the
laptop, the other connects the robot to the laptop. (Note that you will need three
USB ports or a USB hub if you opt to attach a second camera or a microphone.
Check our website at www.evolution.com
for suggested USB hub brands and
models.)
• Laptop monitor must be able to support a 1024 x 768 screen setting.
• One of the following installed Windows Operating Systems: Microsoft
®
Windows
98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Me.
Important Note: The ER1 Robot Control Center software is a 1024 by 768 application. It
will run on all displays with 1024 by 768 or higher resolution. Because the application has
a large number of fixed fields, it will not scale/resize, so on screens larger than 1024 by
768 the RCC will have a border around it, but will continue to work perfectly. The RCC
will not run on 800 by 600, or 640 by 480 displays unless you have scrolling software that
allows you to view a larger window on your monitor.
Optional Second Camera
The camera shipped with your robot can be used by the robot for object recognition and
obstacle avoidance. However, the software allows you the option of using an additional,
separate camera.
• The camera for obstacle avoidance is best mounted pointing toward the floor.
• Requirements for the second camera are:
• USB camera mountable on the robot (not too big or heavy)
• USB cable to connect the second camera to the robot
• A third USB port on the laptop (usually this requires a hub)
