"life is like a box of Bittle." πŸ”

2.1 Pre-assembled Bittle

Video timeline:

00:12 Install the neck

01:28 Install the battery

02:05 Bend the legs

03:15 Open the back cover

04:07 Insert the Bluetooth dongle (only for models with NyBoard)

05:05 Connect the mobile app

If you received the pre-assembled Bittle, you need to insert the neck into the body and bend the knees to natural angles. Drag the curly wire from the knee side to the shoulder side to avoid squeezing when the knee joints rotate. Put the joints into the following posture before turning on the power.

Pay attention to the direction of the head and the joints

Long press the battery's button for 2~3 seconds to power on/off. Unplug the insulation sheet of the infrared remote's battery, then you can control Bittle to move. The robot will keep pausing its movements with beeping sounds when the battery is low. Then, you need to charge the battery with a 5V micro-USB cable. Considering safety, the battery won't supply power during charging.
