3.2 The connection process of the Bluetooth teach pendant and Mirobot manipulator
（1）Connect the Bluetooth extension module and the communication extension interface on the back of the Mirobot manipulator base.
Step 4. Example of using the teach pendant single axis angle mode to control the robotic arm
（1）Switch the Bluetooth teach pendant interface to the angle mode interface.
Step 5. Example of cartesian mode control using teach pendant
(1) Switch the teach pendant interface to the Coord.Mode interface (also can go to the Angle Mode interface).
Step 6. Teaching record and reproduction process
(1) After the Mirobot teach pendant is connected to the robot arm, select the Cartesian mode (or angle mode). Then press and hold the REC key until the outer circle of the recording point in the upper left corner of the screen lights up to enter the teaching mode.
(3) After the recording is completed, press and hold the REC button and wait until the recording point in the upper left corner of the screen goes out to complete the teaching recording (the outer circle of the recording point goes out).
(4) Enter the Record page and click Playback to play the first teaching file in the Record page by default. To play other files, enter the Record page and select the corresponding file. Click the OK button or touch the Play icon for 3 seconds.
