B1 bionic robotic arm must be fixed to a rigid structure.

The robot arm needs to be fixed on the rigid structure with 4 spacers, otherwise the drive board will be damaged, as shown in the following diagram.

①Power connection

  • Connect the robotic arm with the power cable. B1_power_connection
  • Connect the AMBER Master Box to the power. RaspberryPi_connect_powersource

②Network cable connection

  • Connect the robotic arm and the Master Box with network cable. RaspberryPi_coonect_B1
### Connecting with wireless network - After connecting an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the Raspberry Pi, connect to the network on the GUI interface. ![RaspberryPi_connection_01](/imgs/RaspberryPi_connection_01.png) !!! tip "Raspberry Pi wireless network card wlan0 is a dynamic IP. Raspberry Pi wired network card eth0 is a fixed IP, the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0." !!! tip "Each joint of the robot arm has a fixed IP, and the IP addresses are 10.0.0.10 to 10.0.0.16 from axis 1 to axis 7."

Turn on the power

Before turning on or off the power to restart the robotic arm, you need to reset the robotic arm to the initial position.

Initial position is as the picture below. The position 1 and 2 of Every Actuator should be on the opposite side.

  • Turn on the power, the voltage range of the actuator is DC 24V-28V. power_turn_on
!!! tip "After power on, the actuator LED will flash purple light. If it is not, the robotic arm is abnormal, please restart the robotic arm or contact us."
