K0073 troubleshooting
Thank you for your recent purchase of UCTRONICS Robot Car Kit for Raspberry Pi (SKU: K0073).
Before use:
This kit does not include Raspberry Pi motherboard, and you need to bring your own to use with this robot car kit.
When messing with the Raspberry Pi, you’d better have SD card readers and backup SD cards around so that you can reset and transform the Pi faster.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1. How do I know my car has boot up?
After the Raspberry Pi boots up, the RGB LED lights will flash, and you will hear a buzzer sound. Make sure you have pushed the blue button in the front of the driver board to boot the Pi.
Q2. What should I do if I am not able to connect my phone to the car?
We advise you to connect an HDMI cable to the Pi to see what is going on during the booting up.
For Raspberry Pi 3B+ users, you might need to select a region on the desktop before you can use the WIFI.
If it’s stuck on the booting, you might need to re-burn the image to the SD card or add features to your working SD card following our software instructions.
Feel free to contact UCTRONICS if you need assistance with this issue.
Q3.Why is the camera not turning as expected?
Please check the connector of the servo motor, and make sure they are not installed in reverse or in each other’s position. Please also make sure that you are using the right app for the car. For the APP that you should be using, please refer to Q4.

Our APP is available both on Google Play and APP Store. For Android users, please use “Robot Car Kit”, and for IOS users, you will need “WIFIRobotCar”.
