Setting up the CAT-R Development Kit
This guide provides basic steps for quickly setting up an environment for development with Nintendo Web Framework and a CAT-R development system.
Unpack and Plug in the System
To connect the CAT-R, follow the steps below.
- Using the power cable, plug the system in to an electrical outlet.
- Connect the system to a monitor using the HDMI or other video cable.
- Connect the Sensor Bar cable to the port on back of the system and place the Sensor Bar underneath or above the monitor to be used for output.
- Plug in the Wii U GamePad with its power adapter.
- Connect the Wii U GamePad to the DRC1 port using a wired connection.
- On the top of the CAT-R and the protruding part of the Wii U GamePad, set the switch to wired.
- To turn the CAT-R on, press the Power button on the front of the system.
- After the CAT-R starts up, the System Config Tool is displayed on the connected monitor.

Pair the Wii Remote Plus
Included with the CAT-R is a Wii Remote Plus. To pair this controller, make sure the system is on, press the SYNC Button on the front of the CAT-R, and then press the SYNC Button on the back of the Wii Remote Plus. When the sync is complete, a Player LED on the front of the Wii Remote Plus will become lit.
Pair the Wii U GamePad
In order to use the Wii U GamePad, it must be paired to the system if it is not already paired. When using the System Config Tool, follow this procedure:
- Enter the Wii U GamePad (DRC) Setting menu.
- Select the Pair DRC option.
- Press the POWER Button on the Wii U GamePad.
- Press the SYNC Button on the back of the Wii U GamePad.
- Enter the symbols shown on the TV into the Wii U GamePad.
- The Wii U GamePad will complete the sync process, and will then function with the paired system. When in the System Config Tool, the Wii U GamePad can control the cursor and be used for touch input with onscreen keyboards.
