You can select one of four control modes by touching the respective screen button: button control, a virtual joystick, accelerometer (control by moving the device) and a combination between accelerometer and a slider. The Bluetooth connection would be established once the mode has been selected.<\/p>\n<p>For building your receiver please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/pikoder.de\/Bluetooth_RC_EN.htm\">PiKoder\/SSC Bluetooth receiver page<\/a>. The App is supported by all PiKoder\/SSC firmware versions.
