RoboMaster EP Core Quick Start Guide Introduction The RoboMaster TM S1 Education Expansion Set Core (EP Core) is an all-in-one education solution for STEAM classrooms. It provides an official SDK that can be used with powerful mechanical accessories and interfaces to expand hardware possibilities. Together with rich teaching resources and a continually-updated competition database, the EP Core delivers a new classroom experience to make education easier for both teachers and students, expanding the boundaries of the future of education.

1. Press the rear armor release button to open the chassis rear armor. 2. Install the intelligent battery into the battery compartment. 3. Press and hold the power button to turn on the battery. 4. Close the chassis rear armor. Connecting the EP Core and the App The EP Core must be connected to the RoboMaster app in order to use. Users can learn how to connect via Wi-Fi or via a router in the Connection Mode page. Follow the prompts to connect the EP Core to the app. Refer to the Connecting section for more information. Initializing the EP Core with the App Activating the EP Core After connecting, use your DJI account to activate the EP Core in the RoboMaster app. Activation requires an internet connection. Using the RoboMaster App With the dedicated RoboMaster app, users can access rich educational resources and several gameplay modes. The app can be used with a touchscreen or a gamepad and is available on iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. Users on different platforms can even play together at the same time. Users can also write programs easily and apply them or share with friends instantly using the RoboMaster app. This section uses the RoboMaster app on iOS as an example. The specific interface may vary depending on the device used. Omnidirectional Chassis The EP Core chassis is an omnidirectional motion platform based on the Mecanum wheels, which can be used to move forward, traverse, skew, rotate, or a combination of movements at once. Motion Controller The motion controller is the core module for the EP Core chassis movement, providing a rich external module interface for video transmission and connecting the battery, armor, and motors. It also integrates an omnidirectional wheel motion control algorithm, power management system, motor management system, and a chassis management system. Mecanum Wheel The Mecanum wheel is a commonly used robotic omnidirectional chassis moving solution, which is divided into two types: left-
threaded and right-threaded. The four-wheeled chassis requires two pairs of Mecanum wheels. When installing, you can check the left-threaded mark or right-threaded mark on the bottom of the chassis, and install the left-
threaded or right-threaded Mecanum wheel accordingly. Armor Modules A total of four armored modules are installed on the four sides of the EP Core chassis, which protect the internal structure of the EP Core. All armor is equipped with a hit detector, which is used to detect where the EP Core is struck and sends feedback to the intelligent controller to deduct hit points from the corresponding hit point bar. Each hit detector module is represented by an LED light and is visible under the armor module. Intelligent Controller The intelligent controller is integrated with multiple systems including a video transmission system, game system, and Scratch programming system. It supports six smart modules, including line recognition, vision marker recognition, person recognition, clap recognition, gesture recognition, and EP Core robot recognition. 1. microSD Slot Compatible with a microSD card that can read and write faster than 10 MB/s, supporting up to 64 GB. 2. Camera Port Used to connect to the camera. 3. Speaker Port Used to connect to the speaker. 4. Autonomous Program Button Scratch programs written by the user can be set as autonomous programs, which can be loaded directly onto the EP Core. Press the Autonomous Program Button to run the program. 5. Antennas For optimal Wi-Fi connection, set the intelligent controller antennas at 90. 6. Reserved Port Unused port. 7. CAN Bus Port 8. Micro USB Port Used to connect to the computer. 9. Connect Mode Switch Used to switch between connecting via Wi-Fi or a router. 10. Connect Button The connect button functions differently when connecting via Wi-Fi or router. Connection to Wi-Fi: Once the Wi-Fi password is forgotten, press and hold this button for five seconds to reset the Wi-Fi password. Connection to Router: When scanning the QR code with the EP Core to join a network, press this button first. DO NOT pull on the antenna. If the intelligent controller antenna is damaged, the performance of the EP Core will be affected. Contact DJI if the antenna is damaged. Camera Designed for EP Core robots, the EP Core camera features a 1/4-inch sensor with 5 million pixels and a FOV of 120, allowing users to control the EP Core from a first-person perspective. Clean the lens regularly to avoid blurring or halos. Use a special lens cleaner to make sure that there is no foreign matter on the lens after cleaning and that it does not damage the lens. Speaker The EP Core speaker is compatible with a 2.5 mm device with a power rating of 2 W. The speaker provides users with a more immersive experience with sound effects such as when the EP Core launches gel beads or is hit by another EP Core. Operating Your EP Core Checking Before Use Check the following each time you use the EP Core:
1. Make sure the motion controller is properly installed, all cables are connected, and the screws on the chassis rear cover are tightened. 2. Make sure the intelligent controller, blaster, camera, and speaker are connected. 3. Make sure the microSD card is inserted. 4. Make sure the intelligent battery is fully charged and properly inserted. 5. For optimal Wi-Fi connection, set the intelligent controller antennas at 90. Operating the EP Core Using a Mobile Device It is recommended to use the EP Core on flat surfaces such as wooden floors and carpets. Uneven surfaces such as sand or rocks may damage the wheels or motors.
