This has all the information you need to communicate with your robot and it's motors.

Calibration Procedure

  1. Disable the motors using the switch
  2. Move the robot to the calibrate position
  3. Press and hold the Home button until the LED flashes.
  4. Re-enable the motors

Do NOT just hold the Home button to reset the robot; it will force the robot to violently slam the table. Disable motors, then manually move the robot to the calibration pose.
