6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the controller's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the controller in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Avoid Disassembly: Do not attempt to open the controller casing unless you are a qualified technician, as this may void any warranty and could lead to damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Controller does not power on. | Incorrect voltage, loose power connection (VCC/GND), faulty power supply. | Verify controller voltage matches vehicle. Check VCC and GND connections for security and correct polarity. Test power supply. |
| Buttons are unresponsive. | Physical obstruction, internal fault, incorrect mode. | Ensure no debris is blocking buttons. Try cycling power. Check if the correct mode (e.g., Drive/Rock) is selected for specific functions. |
| No sound from speaker. | Loose speaker connection, volume too low, incorrect audio source. | Check speaker wiring. Increase volume using the designated buttons. Ensure the correct audio mode (USB/Bluetooth) is selected. |
| Vehicle does not move. | Motor connection issues, speed setting, faulty drive mechanism. | Check motor wiring. Ensure 'Fast/Slow' setting is appropriate. Verify the 'Forward' or 'Back' button is pressed correctly. |
