Turn a non robot into a robot using parini bluetooth

If the instrument isn't already a robotic model with servos/drives in it, probably not.

If you're just looking to use Bluetooth instead of the UHF radio on a robotic total station, you might start with this instructional video.

No, it's not mechanically capable to act as a robot.

I was not aware that there was such a thing as a non-robotic Trimble 5600, although it was always possible to use one in non-robotic mode?ÿ

I was thinking that it could not be used to search for prism or turn to a point where those commands were issued remotely. I did think that using the systems autolock feature it would?ÿ follow a prism till lock was lost. thanks for your help. This was a recent purchase and now I understand why it was so in expensive, the unit does not have an internal radio.

@norman-oklahoma I have a non-robotic, autolock 5603 circ 2002, used exclusively for 2 person construction layout. At the time of purchase, it could be upgraded to robotic by adding the radio. Likely that option isn't currently supported.

Also have a fully working robot 5603 cir 2006, just sitting as a backup... I bet it feels lonely.

@tim-v-pls where you get your 5600's?ÿ serviced? thanks

@daneminceyahoocom Well... they've been sitting unused for years so haven't serviced them. I just turn them on every once in a while to see if they fire up. So far they always do.

Local place, now a Frontier Precision store, had people who could service them but those folks have moved on. Not sure where I'd go now.
