❓ Troubleshooting
Why isn't signal recording working?
- Incorrect connections: Double-check your wiring and connections between the components.
- Using M5 Launcher: Ensure that you're running the CatHack firmware directly, not by using m5launcher.
- Missing files on the SD card: Ensure you've added all required files to the SD card. Refer to the installation guide for details on what should be included.
why doesn't tvbgone/universal remote work?
- Incorrect IR pin: go to settings->ir pin and set it to default
