¶ Step-by-Step Pairing Guide
¶ Clarification: LED Indicator Behavior Based on Logo Button Press Duration
The physical controller’s LED indicator lights show two different states, depending on how long the Yarbo logo button is pressed. These two states serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
¶ LED States and What They Mean
| Logo Button Press Duration | LED Behavior | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|---|
| More than 5 seconds | Fast blinking | Initial pairing / re-pairing |

| 3–4 seconds | Slow blinking | Reconnecting to an already paired core |

¶ Step 1: Power On Yarbo
- On the rear of the Yarbo Core, press and hold the power button until you hear the voice prompt:
“Ready to work”.
¶ Step 2: Check the Glide Switch
On the back of the controller, make sure the glide switch is pushed to the right.
¶ Step 3: Power On the Controller
Short press the Yarbo logo button on controller to turn on the physical controller.
¶ Step 4: Put the Controller Into Pairing Mode (Critical Step)
⚠️ Important — this is where pairing often fails. See above Clarification.
- Press and hold the logo power button on the controller
- Keep holding it until the two LEDs on top of the controller start flashing
- More than 5 seconds for initial paring
- 3-4 seconds for reconnecting to a paired core
- Do not release the button too early
- Fast flashing LEDs indicate the controller is in pairing mode.
¶ Step 5: Put Yarbo Into Pairing Mode
On the Yarbo Core:
- Press and hold the power button for about 3–5 seconds
- Release the button when the rear lights turn blue
- This indicates Yarbo is now in pairing mode.
¶ Step 6: Pair the Controller
- Press and hold the switch button on the controller for about 5 seconds
- Wait for the voice prompt: “Physical controller connected.”
¶ Step 7: Gain Manual Control
After pairing:
- Press and hold the RB button (top-right of the controller)
- While holding RB, move the left joystick
- Manual control will now respond correctly.
¶ Tips for Successful Pairing
- Ensure both Yarbo and the controller have sufficient battery
- Keep the controller close to Yarbo during pairing
- If pairing fails, repeat the process and confirm the controller LEDs are flashing rapidly, not slowly
