did you configure ppm settings in the app config tab?
this is what he send. it was on maybe the es forum.
we have the same problem. looking over these instructions now I dont think there’s anything new
" That’s a very common problem with the winning remote: the default “fail safe” is sometimes set to full brake in case of loosing connection and that’s not good! Did you test the fail safe function yet?
Here are some steps I collected a while ago:
Please test the fail-safe functionality (like moving the transmitter as far away from the board and checking if the motor shuts down if out of reach). If the motors doesn’t shut down or applies brakes, please perform the following steps for binding and calibrating:
Check and make sure all the wires are connected and that the REMOTE is OFF. Insert the bind plug into CH3(Bind) on the RECEIVER.
With the REMOTE OFF: switch on the ESC to power up the RECEIVER, the red LED light will flash.
PRESS and HOLD the bind button on the REMOTE and then turn the REMOTE ON.
You should notice the REMOTE and RECEIVER LED light go from flashing red to solid red.
Once you see a solid red light, the binding process is complete. Then without turning the REMOTE OFF or touching the THROTTLE pull the bind plug out (for the receiver to record the throttle mid point, neutral, to engage the fail safe)
Then you can test it again by turning OFF the REMOTE and the RECEIVER LED should flash. By turning the REMOTE ON the RECEIVER LED should go back to solid red.
Before riding, it’s better to test the fail safe functionality again. Leave the board powered on and switch the REMOTE off: if the motor isn’t moving, the fail safe function is working, if the motor is moving fast or abruptly braking while throttle is applied: you have to repeat step No.1- No.6

I mean… I think I did. I followed the same process that I used to set up my GT2B. And, yes, @Jinra, thank you for the support! I can try this again this weekend or an evening this week if I have some time and report back. I feel like I’m doing the basic steps correctly, so don’t want to burn your time!
no problem! I’m pretty curious on what the issue might be. let us know if you get any others clues.
will do. I’ll report back once I get this sussed out in case other folks are running into something similar.

ive been all over this nano remote and it wont respond. I have the same problem as you. i wonder if the manufacturer has a warranty? 50$ is a lot to chalk up as a loss. I’m out of ideas.
It’s weird that both you and @surprisebirthday are running into this problem, and he ran into it with 2 different remotes. I’d love to check it out sometime, but I don’t think I can make it to the Sunset anytime soon. Are you using CH1 on the receiver? Is there a red LED on the remote itself?
i dont know how you can change to chan1 on the reciever. how? the trans lights up red and seems to be bound but no throttle. tried to adjust the screw. any ideas?
So the receiver has 3 slots, “BIND, CH2, CH1”. Make sure your VESC is unplugged into CH1 and in the correct orientation.
oo i thought you meant the transmitter. the reciever I’ve done both. tried 1 and 2. it binds. light steady red on both
Yea it should be CH1, CH2 is for external 5v accessories like a LED strip. Maybe try another servo cable?
i tried both. where would i put the other servo cable? you mean bind plug?
I mean try another servo cable to see if the one you’re using is bad or broken.
whats a servo cable? you mean from the vesc? it was going fine with my other remote.
the 3 wire cable that connects the VESC to the receiver is the servo cable. If you’re sure it’s not broken, I have no other ideas other than checking it out in person, sorry!
EDIT: actually what control mode are you using @hummie? PPM/Current?

im just about to go to that place in the bldc tool cause my steez that i got going isnt right.
I think ppm and current. by that i mean the receiver is done in ppm and I’m on current mode
edit: i just adjusted my ppm settings on bldc tool and is this how you do it: go full throttle and type above the number seen on graph, go full brake and type the number voila? because it puts me at 45% when I’m in neutral.
i can touch the fets when the battery is plugged in right? what can i not touch on the board?
Hey Hummie so you’re getting a reading now? great! Yes you should adjust min/max by full throttle and full braking. This should set the neutral level on your controller. Make sure your control mode is disabled first!
So it appears that channel 2 isn’t working with the switch on the controller… I’ve hooked it up to LED strip and turned the switch on and off from the controller but the LED strip remain on. Anyone got a fix on this?
