Kulya 4.0 {controller}

Open the file [HEXAPOD KULYA 4.0] Full Components List and make sure that you have all the necessary elements for the remote control.

After checking, start printing the case of the future controller.

.STL files with the correct orientation on the printer surface are available

Open the file — this is the complete wiring diagram. Make sure you understand where the power, buttons, and joystick go.

Refer to file

According to the diagram, VCC, GND, VRx, VRy, and SW correspond to ESP32 pins. Check polarity before soldering to a battery.

Each button is a separate GPIO + common ground. Check the placement in file

Battery → DC-DC charging module → 5V to ESP32. Before turning it on for the first time, check the output voltage with a multimeter.

All steps are described in detail in the separate document

Turn on the remote control. 
Turn on the robot separately using the power button on the body. 

Wait 1-3 seconds for the connection to be established. Then try to control the joystick to start the movement. 

Check the button functions and make sure the robot responds correctly to commands.

You now control KULYA’s movement, direction, and behavior in real time.

The controller is not just a set of buttons. 
It is your interface to the robot — your way of interacting with the logic you built.

And this is only the beginning. 
The control system can now evolve together with your ideas.
