Control Serial Port
If your AmigoBot does not have an AmigoBot with
Serial Ethernet radio Ethernet, there is an RJ-11/12
connector on top of the robot that is the Control serial
port. Connect it through AmigoLeash to a serial port

ARIA, Saphira, or Ayllu programs.
Accessory Connector
Beneath the black rectangular plastic cover near the
center of the robot is a high-density IDC latching

many I/O ports.
We provide attachment details with each accessory
