Quick Start
This guide is for assembled robots or builds that have already completed firmware flashing and servo calibration.
1. Before Power-On
- Charge the battery first.
- Keep the rear power switch off while checking the robot.
- Make sure no shell part blocks the BOOT button, top button, legs, or waist joint.
- Prepare a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Enable Bluetooth permission on your phone. Some Android systems also require location permission for BLE scanning.
2. Power-On States
After switching on the robot, it may enter:
- Provisioning mode: the screen shows a QR code or provisioning prompt.
- Calibration mode: uncalibrated builds enter servo calibration first.
- Standby mode: the face is shown and the robot waits for wake word, button, or app input.
For a reproduced unit or newly flashed firmware, finish Assembly, IDs and Calibrationfirst.
