1.3 Connect
There are two methods for connecting the controller to a mobile device: via the
controllers hotspot and via the router. Download the program after
successfully connecting to the controller for data communications. It is not
necessary to make a connection if you only learn to assemble models. Take
iPad for example to introduce the two methods:

1.3.1 Connect via the router

1). Connect iPad to the wireless router;

2). Swipe the controller interface to find Settings , tap to enter;

3). Tap the icon Wi-Fi and turn on it, find the name of the

previously connected wireless router, connect the controller to that router

;
Notes: If the wireless router joins the Internet, the controller joins the Internet
as well and it will automatically check whether software has been up to date.
4). Go back to the main interface and swipe the controller interface to find QR

code ;

5). Open Krypton Project Programming App on Pad, tap the icon
on the upper right side to enter Program Writing interface, tap the icon

on the top to scan QR code on the controller;

6). Robots hotspots name and Password will appear after scanning (The
shown content can be ignored);

7). Tap Next Step to connect. The following prompt will appear after
connected;

8). Tap OK to complete connection. If the controller is connected to Pad, an

icon will appear on the top of the interface.

13.2. Connect via the controllers hotspot:

1) Swipe the controller interface to find , tap to enter;

2) Tap the icon and turn on hotspot, the controllers hotspot is

turned on then as ;

3) Turn on Wi-Fi on iPad and find the Wi-Fi name sent by the controller, input
the password to join the controllers hotspot. See as follows:

4) Open Krypton Project Programming on iPad and tap the icon

on the upper right side to enter program-writing interface; tap the icon

on the top to scan the QR code on the controller ;

5) Hotspots name and password will appear after scanning;

6) Tap Next Step to connect and the following prompt will appear after
connecting successfully:

Tap OK to complete the connection. If the controller is connected to iPad, an

icon will appear on the top of the interface.

Notes: During the first-time connection, you need to scan QR code on the
controller to make your mobile device join the controllers hotspot. Later, the
mobile device will automatically connect to the controller when opening
Krypton Project Programming App.

2nd Chapter Model Assembling

2.1 Assemble functions

Open Krypton Project Programming and swipe left/right to choose the

models you want to assemble. Tap the picture in the midst of the screen to
enter model assembling interface. Take Krypton 5 Humanoid Robot for
example:

2.1.1 Button

1. Tap the button on the bottom left corner to play dynamic assembling
process, tap again to pause the playing;

2. Tap the button on the bottom left corner, forward to the next step;

3. Tap the button on the bottom left corner, back to the previous step;

4. Tap the button on the right side of the screen, reset the position of the
model;

5. Tap the button on the top left corner, back to the interface of
selecting models;

You can assemble the model accurately referring to the dynamic assembling
process. The completed interface will show as follows:

2.1.2 Adjust the position of models

Rotate the 3D model by a single finger in the midst of the screen;
Swipe to translate the 3D model by two fingers;
Split two fingers apart to enlarge the 3D model;
Get two fingers closer to shrink the 3D model.

2.1.3 Debugging interface of sensors and motors

Two buttons will appear on the right side after completing the assembling. Tap

the icon to render the cables into a different color,this can easy to
distinguish the cables on the robot to users, so as not to plug the wrong port.

11 Shanghai PartnerX Robotics Co.,Ltd.

 Educational robot brick series Krypton - Krypton Project Programming

Tap the icon to prompt the users to connect the controller,the connection
methods are same as the introduction in the first chapter.the following
debugging interface will pop-up after connecting successful:

1. CAM Screen: Once the robot has Camera, and Camera port is accessed,
the image will appear on CAM area;
2. Motor debugging area: The port which should access to the motor will be
highlighted. After the motor is accessed, slide the block to rotate the motor,

change the velocity or veer. Tap the icon to restore the block and the
motor will stop.
3. Sensor area: The port which should access to the sensor will be highlighted
and marked by a red small circle light. If the wrong port is accessed, even
there is data in the frame, the small circle keeps red. Take gray scale sensor

for example: If port 1 is accessed wrongly, you may see , while

port 4 is right accessed, you can see . Disconnect the sensor and

tap the icon to erase the sensor icons.

The data in the frame is the returned value of sensors collected by the
controllers I/O port.

The returned value of white color is low, approximately

200 for an ordinary white; in contrast, the darker the color
Grayscale Sensor
is, the higher the returned value will be, over 3000 in
maximum.
Identify the distance between the obstacle and the sensor.
Ultrasonic Sensor The farther the distance is, the larger the returned value
will be, ranging from 50 to 1500. Unit: mm.
If the button is pressed, a max value (approximately 4000)
Touch Sensor
will be returned; otherwise, the returned value will be 0.
Different returned values represent different colors and a
fixed figure accords with a corresponding color. Please
Color Sensor
see as follows: Red: 0, Yellow: 1; Green: 2; Blue: 3; White:
