    Controller not working. The blue lights do not come on so that I can pair with the drone. This controller has been working. Now it is not. I have tried new batteries. I have checked all the connections. Competition is a week away. Please help.

        After the Arduino IDE is installed, you need to install the CoDrone library. Open the IDE then go:
        Sketch-> Include Library-> Manage Libraries

        then a 2nd window will pop up and in the search bar type CoDrone. and you should see something similar to my pic:0_1572878700420_Screenshot from 2019-11-04 09-38-56.png

        install that and you shoudl be able to start coding... also make sure your IDE is setup to talk to the BLE controller and have the CoDrone hardware type selected:

        BLE connection:
        Tools-> Port: mine is either /dev/ttyUSB0 (or ttyUSB1)

        CoDrone HW:

        1. File-> Preferences: in the "additional Board Managers" copy/paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobolinkInc/Robolink/master/package_rokit_index.json
        2. Tools->Boards: should now list RoKit-SmartINventro-mega32_v1 and v2. Select the V2.

        Once both steps are done you should see the bottom right hand corner of your screen looking like this pic: 0_1572879039430_Screenshot from 2019-11-04 09-36-54.png

        Hope that helps

              @cs Open Arduino and in the toolbar at the top search in File and follow the menus 🙂

                @robolink_leila said in Controller not working. The blue lights do not come on so that I can pair with the drone. This controller has been working. Now it is not. I have tried new batteries. I have checked all the connections. Competition is a week away. Please help.:

                You can find it in File>Examples>CoDrone>Controller

                Where exactly is the File, examples, CoDrone, Controller?

                  @cs Could you try uploading the default flight controller code to the remote? You can find it in File>Examples>CoDrone>Controller. If it still doesn't work then I'm afraid you may have damaged the controller when you had one of the wires backward 😞
