Quick Start

This guide is for an assembled RIG-Hover. If you are building from parts, read 05-Replication-Guide.mdand 06-Assembly-Guide.mdfirst.

1. Before Power-On

Check the robot before the first boot:

• Both wheels rotate freely and do not touch wires, shells, or printed burrs.

• The head can rotate slightly left and right without shell interference.

• The battery is charged and has no swelling or damaged wires.

• The desk is flat, stable, and clear of fragile objects.

• The screen FPC, camera FPC, motor cables, battery cable, and servo cable are locked in place.

• All motor screws use the specified length.

2. Balance Startup

RIG-Hover is a self-balancing robot. Startup posture matters.

1. Place RIG-Hover vertically on a flat desktop.

2. Hold the body lightly with your hand.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. Keep holding it for 2 to 3 seconds while the screen lights up and the IMU initializes.

5. When you feel the wheels producing a gentle counter-torque, slowly release your hand.

6. If it falls immediately, turn it off first. Do not let it fight on the table while lying down.

3. Wi-Fi Setup

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.

2. Scan the QR code shown on the screen with WeChat.

3. Open the "Xiao Lu Tong Xue" mini program.

4. Tap Add Device.

5. Select a Bluetooth device named like RIG-Hover-XXXX.

6. Choose a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and enter the password.

7. Keep holding the robot during setup and reboot.

RIG-Hover may reboot after Wi-Fi setup. During reboot the balance controller may briefly stop, so keep your hand on the body.

4. Basic Interaction

Try these voice commands after the device is online:

• Wake word: "Xiao Lu Tong Xue"

• Weather query

• Tell a joke

• Dance

• Turn head left

• Turn head right

• Center head

• Turn body left

• Turn body right

• Move forward

• Move backward

You can also tap the head or touch area to observe click and double-click behaviors, depending on the firmware version.

5. Shutdown

Hold the robot first, then turn off the power switch. After shutdown, place RIG-Hover on its side or in a stand so it cannot roll off the desk.
