    3.Servos Servos are like human joints. They are the keys for the Jimu robot to perform movements. Servo external view Servo ID Each servo has an ID number to distinguish it from the other servos. Please see "Connecting Model - Changing Servo ID" for more details.
  • Page 6 Rotatable Rudders The rudders of the servo can rotate, and it can also be spliced with slots. "△□☆○" indicates different splicing directions. When "△" is aligned with the scale, the angle of the rotatable rudder is 0°. For more information regarding the use of servo rudders and other components assembly, please see: "Assembly Introduction: Splicing".

It can also transmit energy and commands between the controller and servos. 9.Assembly Tool The assembly tool can help you install and remove components, making the building process of your model simpler and easier.

  • Page 10: Assembly Introduction

    Assembly Introduction 1.Key Parts a. Slots: The slot is a groove in components, which usually appears on connectors and servos. When a component has multiple slots, the "ABCDE" naming method will be used to distinguish them. b. Rudders: Rudders are rectangular structures projecting from components. The symbols "△□☆○" are used to indicate the different directions.

  • Page 11: Assembly Methods

    2.Assembly Methods a. Splicing: Splicing refers to connecting rudders with slots. 1) "△□☆○" on the surface of the rudder correspond with different splicing directions of slots. Different splicing directions can yield different structures. Example of connecting other components with rudders 2) If a component has multiple slots, it can be assembled into different structures.
  • Page 12 b. Integration: Integration refers to the method of assembling different components through fasterners. c. Connection: Connection refers to the assembly method of connecting the Main control box with servos, servos with servos, the Main control box with sensors, or the Main control box with power switch using connecting cables. 1) Connection between the Main control box and servos, or servos and servos.
