====== Operators panel/display ======

The operators panel is the interface between the operator and the robot (together with the joystick). The interface is structured in several [[:user_manuals:screens|screens]]. The touchscreen is resistive so it works with gloves on. Care for keeping the screen free from dirt, especially when the lid goes down.

On all screens there is a question mark which when pressed will display helpful information about the current screen.

===== Backup battery =====

There is a backup battery in the operators panel that retains some settings while the robot is powered off. It is charged while the robot is powered on and discharges a little every time the robot is turned off. It can retain the settings for up to a year, assuming normal use.

The settings that are retained are: homing, [[:prog:parking|parking positions]], clock settings and notification settings.

Storage of programs, locations and recipes does not rely on this battery.

===== Firmware  =====

The manufacturer of the operators panel supply firmware for low level control of its electronics. For example bug fixes or enhanced functionality can call for an updated firmware.
