Pair controllers with Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Although this is about linking the controller to the car on a physical level, this process must be still be done through the app. Go to the “Pair Controllers” section in the main menu (under “Configure”) and follow the steps described there. Once you have gone through the process, your car is linked to a controller with a certain ID, which is displayed at the end of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n
Please note: <\/strong>Although the manual of SCX Advance mentions that you can actually link controllers to cars without any app, this will not work if you plan to use SmartRace. If the pairing process is not done through the app, SmartRace won’t know anything about the pairing and will thus not be able to track the car correctly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n Once you have done the pairing, you can assign a car and a driver to the ID you’ve just paired. This does not influence the physical pairing in any way, but is meant for displaying and collecting statistics. If you would like to add cars and drivers, go to the respective section in the main menu under the “Manage” category. If you have already added cars and drivers, go to “Controller Assignments” in the “Configure” section in the main menu to assign them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The assignment screen shows three columns: <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re wondering where the colors for the controllers in the first column of the assignment screen, come from, you can head to the “Controller Colors” section in the main menu to change the display color for each controller. This color will be used on different places throughout the app, including the race screen. Please note that this color can be overridden by the assigned car if it has a color specified in the car database).<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n To make an assignment, first tap the controller you wish to change the assignment for. The number (ID) of the controller is the ID you’ve paired in the previous step (see above for how to pair controllers and cars). If you tapped the controller, it will have a yellow background to let you know it’s selected. Afterwards, you tap a driver and a car. The first column will be updated immediately with your selection. If you want to change an assignment, just pick a different driver or car by tapping the item from the list. If you want to undo an assignment, tap the selected item again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you are finished with all assignments to you want to make or change, please make sure to hit the “Save” button on the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.smartrace-scx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pairing.png\" "\\"pairing\\"")
