STEP0 Introduction

Effective Use of Mechatronics Course

Make sure to master each step before moving on to the next step.
Basics are important in everything. A steady build-up of basics is the best shortcut in the end. Rushing through the steps will make no effect. Refer to the circuit diagrams only for comparing to your answers.
Be sure to use the kit and check the actual operation.
The pattern of learning is to put what you think of into action and check the results. If you go through the steps thinking that it is too easy to study, you will never make progress in later steps.
Be sure to create a circuit diagram and use it for wiring.
When the circuit does not operate as intended, it is probably caused by any of three failures "circuit design error", "faulty wiring", and "defective device in use". For proper wiring, you should mark the routed cables on the circuit diagram while wiring.
How to read catalog data is not explained in this course.
In electric devices you actually handle with, different models of control device and circuit are probably used. However, you can easily cope with it if you know how to read the catalog data. How can you learn how to read catalog data? Try to start by checking the control devices used in this kit in the catalog.

Precautions

  1. Before wiring, be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet.
  2. Securely tighten screws of the terminals.
  3. In charging, never touch the terminals.
