Steering Calibration

If Roversa is not driving in a straight line, it may need to be calibrated for both forward and backward movement. This program helps you find the values for each direction.

Step 1 - Load the program

Download this code onto your Roversa and put it on the floor with about a foot of clear space in front of and behind it.

Step 2 - Test driving forward

Press Forward button. The screen shows ↑ (forward arrow) and Roversa drives forward for 2 seconds. 

Step 3 - Nudge the forward trim

Press the turn arrow for the way you want Roversa to move:

• If Roversa is drifting to the left, press Right button to correct.

• If Roversa is drifting to the right, press Left button to correct.

Each button press changes the number by 1, with a rising or falling sound.

Step 4 - Repeat until it drives straight

Press Forward button again and keep adjusting until Roversa drives straight.

Step 5 - Now test driving backward

Press Backward button. The screen shows ↓ (backward arrow) and Roversa backs up for 2 seconds.

Step 6 - Nudge the backward trim

Press the turn arrow for the way you want Roversa to move:

• If Roversa is drifting to the left, press Left button to correct.

• If Roversa is drifting to the right, press Right button to correct.

Step 7 - Repeat until it drives straight

Press Backward button again and keep adjusting until Roversa drives backward straight.

Step 8 - Read your two numbers

Press Menu button and it will show ↑ (forward arrow) with forward number and then ↓ (backward arrow) with backward number.
