Getting started

Basic setup

Driving a robot

AlfredoConnect is a driver station that runs on Windows for controlling robots over Bluetooth using your computer's keyboard or connected gamepads. It has a corresponding Arduino library, AlfredoConnect-Receive, which contains examples for using AlfredoConnect with the Alfredo NoU2. After following the basic setup tutorial here, follow the getting started tutorials for AlfredoConnect-Receive to learn how to control your robot using AlfredoConnect.

Troubleshooting

Can't connect to the ESP32 over USB to upload

• The most common cause of this is accidentally using a power-only micro USB cable, which won't allow the computer and ESP32 to communicate, but will power on the ESP32. Try a new cable. When plugging in the ESP32, you should hear a sound on the computer indicating it's plugged in.
• Make sure you're selecting the right COM port. The most common way to check is to unplug the ESP32, check the ports list in the Arduino IDE, (Tools > Port), plug the ESP32 in, and then check the list again to see what COM port got added. On Windows, you can also open Device Manager (Win+R, type in devmgmt.msc) and check the Ports (COM & LPT) dropdown, which should include a port list similar to the one in the Arduino IDE.
• You may need to install appropriate drivers for CP210x or FTDI, depending on your ESP32 module type. If unsure, get both.
