App will ask 2 Permissions:
- Bluetooth for obvious reason.

Drift will ask necessary permissions and request to enable bluetooth. And check if you are running this app for the first time or not.
You will see this screen only and only if you are running this app for the first time.
Click on the image to choose a logo for your team from gallery. Write your team name in the text box.
Clicking Submit button will create 2 local files for these two informations.

It will show already paired devices. If you do not see your reciever, Go to bluetooth settings of your device and pair with that.
Tap on the device you want to connect with.
You should see your team logo and name on the top. Also the name of your connected device. The Red/Green circle next to it indicates connections status. Green means ready to go. Red-Green blinking means we are trying to connect.
To disconnect, simply go back (back button or go back gesture of your phone). It will take you to Device List Screen. You will also be automatically taken there if somehow we lose connection with your reciever.
The silder is your speed limiter. It has 11 levels: from 1 to 10 and FUll.
Right light indicator is for Tail lights. Left one is for Head lights.
The direction buttons are self-explanatory. You can tap two buttons at the same time to go diagonally. Pressing two opposite direction at the same time will take only the first instruction and ignore second one.
Signals are transmitted every 50 milliseconds.

| Speed Level: 1-10 | '0' - '9' |
| Speed Level: Full | 'q' |
| Head light: On | 'W' |
| Head light: Off | 'w' |
| Tail light: On | 'V' |
| Tail light: Off | 'v' |

| Left | 'L' |
| Right | 'R' |
| Forward-Left | 'G' |
