6.5 Other Controls and Indicators
Light Discs, Light Tower
Circular lights on the sides of the platform are used to indicate motion, turns, and several
other states. A user-supplied light tower can be added for extra signaling.
Their states are described here, and summarized in the following tables.
Stopped, no errors (ready)
Entire light disc on each side pulses blue slowly (0.25 Hz). Light tower is steady green.
Driving Straight
Blue arcs on each side of the platform will appear to rotate in the direction of the platform's
travel, to let nearby people know that it is moving (or about to move). Light tower is green and
buzzer sounds, both intermittently.
Turn Signals (for turns >30 degrees)
The blue drive indicators will include a blinking orange segment at the front of one light disc
to indicate that the platform is about to turn in the direction of the signal.
Light tower is green blinking and intermittent buzzer (same as driving straight).
Obstacle Detected
The light discs will blink yellow if the Lynx AIV is stopped for an object in its safety zone.
Light tower is yellow blinking.
Warning, Driving or Stopped (doesn't prevent driving, such as low battery)
The light discs will be orange instead of blue for Stopped, Driving, and Turn Signals.
Light tower alternates green with buzzer then yellow if driving, Long green alternates with
short yellow if stopped.
Lost
When the platform is lost, the light discs will each display two orange arcs, traveling from the
6 o'clock to the 12 o'clock position and back, in opposite directions. Light tower blinks yellow.
Charging
When docked, a green arc will indicate the current state of charge (SOC), showing steady green
from the top of the disc to the current SOC. A small white arc travels back and forth between
the two ends of the green arc. Light tower is off.
