CHAPTER 1: FABLE AT A GLANCE

Joint Module

The Fable Joint Module provides movement to Fable robots using two strong servos: X and Y.
Wireless communication: Joint modules are controlled wirelessly using the hub.
Servos: The two servos are identified as X and Y, and their position can be set from -90 to 90 degrees. The speed of
movement can be controlled, and the angle can be measured.
Pairing: Joint modules have a button that, if pressed, will change the LED color. The color of the light indicates the type
of hub that would be able to detect the module. Only matching colored devices can communicate with each other (for
example, red modules with red hubs).
Self-protection: Joint modules continuously monitor the load and temperature on the servos and the battery level. As a
self-protection mechanism, modules will automatically turn off if an overload or low-battery-level event is detected. You
should avoid overloading, blocking, or pulling locked servos because they can be damaged.
