Selecting the R/C Input Mode

The R/C Input Mode is the factory default setting.

If the controller has been previously set to a different Input Mode, it will be necessary to reset it to the R/C mode using the serial port and the PC utility. See “Using the Roborun Configuration Utility” on page 131, and “Accessing & Changing Configuration Parameter in Flash” on page 112
