      If your PS4 controller isn't working with your Interbotix Robotics setup, first check if the LED on the front of the controller is blue, indicating it's paired with the Pi. If it's flashing white or off, repeat the PS4 Controller Setup. A red, green, or pink LED means the controller is paired but connected to the wrong port, likely because another controller is already paired. Also, ensure your controller is charged and try restarting the Pi.

      If your Interbotix Robotics monitor isn't displaying anything, ensure it's plugged into the Pi before turning the Pi on. The Pi won't display anything if a monitor isn't detected at boot, even if plugged in later.
