 ====== Experimental Setup with a Beaglebone Blue Board ======
-Use a [[https://wiki.ntb.ch/infoportal/embedded_systems/ti_sitara_am335x/beaglebone_blue/start|Beaglebone Blue]]. Connect all the necessary signals according to your hardware configuration file.
+Use a [[https://wiki.ntb.ch/infoportal/embedded_systems/ti_sitara_am335x/beaglebone_blue/start|Beaglebone blue]] board. Connect all the necessary signals according to your hardware configuration file.
 ===== Analog Output =====
 There are 4 connectors denoted with //DC Motors//. Connect number 1 with the motor. Before testing plug in the 12V DC power supply or the Li-Po battery, otherwise the motors won't run. ssh into the Beaglebone blue board and run
 <code>
-debian@beaglebone:$ rc_test_motors -m 1 -d 1
+ost@bblue:$ rc_test_motors -m 1 -d 1
 </code>
 //-m 1// selects the first motor while //-d 1// specifies a duty cycle of 1. The motor should run in positive direction. If the motor turns in the opposite direction, change the + and - wire of the motor. You can stop the program by pressing ''Ctrl-C''. The test program is located in ///usr/bin// and can be run from anywhere.
 ===== Enable Signal =====
-On the Beaglebone blue we do not use a motor controller and therefore, we do not use this signal.

 ===== Encoder Inputs =====
 There are 4 connectors denoted with //4 Quadrature encoder inputs//. Connect number 1 with your encoder. Make sure that your encoder works with 3.3V as delivered by this connector. Test the encoder with
 <code>
-debian@beaglebone:$ rc_test_encoders
+ost@bblue:$ rc_test_encoders
 </code>
-Turning the motor in positive direction must lead to the encoder counting upwards. If not, change the A and B signal.

 ===== Emergency Signal =====
+The emergency signal is used to bring the application in a safe mode. We put this input signal on a digital input pin which is connected to the on board push button //Pause//. Later when the application runs we can cause the safety system to switch to an emergency state by pressing the //Pause// button.
