 For each location we create unique programs, adapted for this location. This means that a program in another location can have the same name without having duplicates(see illustration below)//. //For the programs to work and wash in the right order, we must add them in **recipes**. Everything that is created for a location will only be available in this room (see the illustration below). For each location we create unique programs, adapted for this location.

-However, it is possible to copy programs from one location to another if you know that this program would fit in identical pens in another room (identical pens with same position of the magnetic markers). This feature is found where you create recipes. For more information, readfrom **[[:prog:screen_guide_step_by#create_recipe|step 12.

-Program is what you teach the robot with [[:prog:joystick-how_to_move_the_robot|the joystick.]] It is very important that you start with programs that are simple and that work without alarms. Nobody will master the programming perfectly the first few times. Practice makes perfect. <font 11.0pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>If you try too much and do too difficult things, there is a risk that the robot will go into alarms and your EVO Cleaner will be inefficient. An EVO Cleaner that washes 70% clean, efficient, is a better robot than the one who tries to wash up against 100% but who always ends up in alarm. The more you program the better programmer you will be, and it'll give you better results and more efficient programs. First aim to create programs that work efficient. Do only focus on the "standard" pens (the pens in the middle) when you start. The first and last pens are most often unique and needs individual programs. When this room is empty next time, you can add new programs, like the first or last pens. You can also reprogram a program that needs to be improved. This time you will make even better programs that are even more efficient and provides better results. Work gradually with this until you get programs with a result you are happy with.</font>+Program is what you teach the robot with [[:prog:joystick-how_to_move_the_robot|the joystick.]] It is very important that you start with programs that are simple and that work without alarms.

 [[:parts:magnetic_markers|]] are the robot's references. They make the robot place itself correctly in the aisle. Markers shall be placed in the same place at each pen (see illustrations below). Preferably we want the markers to be placed between the pens, somewhere close to the wall which divides the pens. Imagine that the two pens (right side pen and left side pen) after the marker is connected to the marker (see illustrations below). If you have identical rooms, place the markers in the same position in every room to ensure that the robot is positioned correctly and avoids collisions. The markers main task is to repeat the programs you have made with the joystick. [[:parts:magnetic_markers|]] are the robot's references. They make the robot place itself correctly in the aisle.

-As seen in the two illustrations below. One room doesn't have a marker at the last pen but the other does. If your room has gates (or something else) in the aisle that are sticking out a couple centimeters from the wall, which leads up as an obstacle for the robots side wheels, then you should use a marker at the last pen. If there are obsticles in the aisle the robot could position itself incorrect due to slipping/spun drive wheels (too big obstacle for the side wheels to climb over). \\ +As seen in the two illustrations below.

-The markers are there as a referens, making it possible for the robot to reposition itself if something goes wrong in the positioning in the aisle. If the aisles wall, which the robots side wheels are facing, are even and smooth it is not necessary to use a marker at the last pen. Since the last pen needs a special program due to the outer wall/door that are in the way for the side wheel at the front. Those programs could nevertheless be thought from the marker before. \\+The markers are there as a reference, making it possible for the robot to reposition itself if something goes wrong in the positioning in the aisle.

 In the examples below, we can use the programs in the middle to all the pens in the middle. The markers makes it possible to repeat these by putting the programs in to a recipe. In the examples below, we can use the programs in the middle to all the pens in the middle.
