Changing the Audio Setup

  1. Connect the audio cable from your computer to Roball's audio jack. You need a cable with 1/8" male audio jack at both ends.(the one that connects to the phone jack of your computer)
  2. Turn on the robot if not already done.
  3. Start the Roball-RF GUI and connect to the robot.
  4. In the application menu, click on Config->Audio Setup You should see the following dialog:

  5. Create a text file containing the list of audio files you want to use with Roball. Here is an example of configuration File:AudioSetup.txt. Use absolute path names for files. Audio files must be of type WAV, MP3 or AAC depending on your installation.Roball can record up to 8 audio files, lasting a maximum of 30 seconds each.
  6. Click on the "Load List" button and select the text file containing the file list. The dialog should now look like this :

  7. Make sure your volume is high enough.
  8. Click on the "Record" button. This will play audio files to the robot and send commands to Roball to record them in its internal audio memory.
  9. Verify if the record worked by selecting any file on the list and clicking on the "Play" button. The audio should come out of Roball's speaker.
Note : Audio configuration will be kept in Roball's memory, even after powering Roball down.
