 My controller has morphed into R2-D2 and makes weird sounds and the Neopixel lights up like a Christmas tree.

The controller is in Error Mode. Find out more on this dedicated page.

 I cannot recognized my controller through Arduino IDE.

Carefully review the steps detailed on this page. Ask yourself:

  • Is the board connected on the computer?

  • Are the most up-to-date CH340g drivers installed?

  • Have I tried connecting using all available COM Ports?

  • Have I setup my IDE to communicate with a Arduino Mega 2560 type board, using the ATmega2560 processor ?

 I'm getting weird behaviors from the CrcDuino, and I don't quite understand why.

Make sure the CrcDuino is connected to a 12V power source. IOs won’t function properly if no 12V power is fed to the CrcDuino.

 What are some other concepts to lookup on the Internet that might be useful when using a CrcDuino?

  • “Input debouncing” is crucial when counting the number of time a switch or button has been pressed. A nice introduction can be seen here, but there’s a lot of other resources on the subject out there.
