  • Check the compatibility of the Conveyor Belt (v2) with the Niryo robot range.

For more information, contact the Niryo support service.

Control with the Ned or the Niryo One

The Conveyor Belt (v2) communicates with the Ned via the TTL Bus.

To use the Conveyor Belt (v2) with Ned, connect the robot control connector on the motor side of the Conveyor Belt (v2) (connector 1 see Conveyor electrical interface (v2)) on the back of the Ned on port C (see illustration below).

To use the infrared sensor with the Conveyor Belt (v2) and Ned, connect it to the adapter provided for Ned, and plug the adapter into the back of the robot (Port A or B).

Be sure to follow the order of the connectors to avoid a short circuit between the GND, 5V and other GPIO pins.

In the example below, two Conveyor Belt (v2) and an infrared sensor are connected to Ned.

Control with Ned2

The Conveyor Belt (v2) communicates with Ned2 via the TTL Bus.

To use the Conveyor Belt (v2) with Ned2, connect the robot control connector on the motor side of the Conveyor Belt (v2) (connector 1 in Conveyor electrical interface (v2)) on the back of Ned2 on port A or B. (see illustration below).
