| After you assemble the Zumo base, run a simple Arduino program to test the motors and buzzer. Below is a simple Arduino program you can cut and paste into the Arduino IDE. Note, the files ZumoMotors.h and ZumoBuzzer.h are part of the Pixy2 Arduino library (found [[https://pixycam.com/downloads-pixy2/|here]]). Install the Pixy2 Arduino library if you haven't already. | After you assemble the Zumo base, run a simple Arduino program to test the motors and buzzer.

| + | It's easy to hook the Zumo motors up backwards. This program will help you determine if your Zumo is working correctly. If something isn't right, none of the Zumo demos will work! So it's good to give this test a whirl... | ||

| - | 3. With the robot on its "lift" (so it doesn't run off) hold the object directly in front of the robot, centered, about a foot from Pixy2's lens. Both of Zumo's treads should be moving forward. Move the object to the right. Zumo's left tread should accelerate. Move the object to the left. Zumo's right tread should accelerate. If one or more of the treads moves incorrectly or doesn't move at all, inspect the motor connections to Zumo's PCB, and use the Zumo test program (above) to better characterize how the motion is incorrect. | + | 3.
