To configure the board, edit the settings.ini file on the microSD card. settings.ini is a plain text file, which can be edited and viewed with any text editor. Change the values of the parameters - strings like "key = value". For example, the value:
control_enable_toggle = false
Can be changed to:
control_enable_toggle = true
If the parameter is absent or is set incorrectly, the default value is taken, see the table below.
No need to edit the following lines:

| driver_cutoff_start_power | Initial power cutoff In most cases, low power on the engines does not lead to the start of the movement of the tank, therefore, it makes sense to start moving from a certain power threshold. This will result in more responsive control and remove stick dead space.The optimal value of the parameter depends on the power of the motor, the gear ratio of the gearbox and personal preference. Ideally, the cutoff should be such that the tank starts moving smoothly and from the very beginning of accelerating with the stick. Recommended values are 0.1 - 0.3. If the value is 1.0, the control of the tank will become discrete - moving at maximum speed and stopping.
