I’ve had those cutouts going up a hill, scary shit!
You should give @ackmaniac lost-signal-mod a try, you need to flow the setting letting the vesc know when it looses signal by unplugging the binding jumper, the board will keep on going to the last ppm position known for 1 second, so you don’t have that behavior when loosing signal.
So I wanted to rule out a fault in the RX because he has four. Also his wires going from front to back are probably different lengths. I’ve ran a four foot wire with a wattmeter from batt to ESC pulling 110a, his are less than half. (Varies by board,esc, wires…). Caps are for combating ripple current. He has four vesc, all with caps to share the load. I’m just not sure that adds up to an instantaneous Brown out across all four rx
I don’t think it matters if he has 1, 2, 3 or 4 ESC/Rx, the same condition that could cause a issue with one could just as easy cause a issue with all…
Thanks for this. If my board did this if i was near full throttle, or accelerating, i would definitely DIE–6kw dual drive.
I would like to see your work make it into the official firmware, not sure how all the logistics of that kind of thing works though… Seems like it can get… messy.
My mind-set is for kilometers…je…je… Seen the number in miles doesn’t give me a real sense of the speed. When I see it in kilometers the perspective changes. 60 kilometers!! I’m speechless. The speed you reach on these things is incredible.
You should tell more details about your crash and setup.
Now I read you have 4 receivers. That could be a issue and also the root cause. Sadly we don’t know how their protocol work. But if they work with acknowledges then the receiver will get 4 instead of one which can confuse it or lead to software exceptions. And do you have a carbon Fibre enclosure?
Was going 30ish on my way to jerry house and I was to close to the sidewalk like the edge I was not on the road so I tried to move a bit so I can you know make it without hitting the curb and then my board when into full reverse causing me to drift land on my ankle saw the board hit the curb and then Launch right after hitting the other side of the curb and fly 5 feet into the air (no idea what that was all about, not blaming anyone giving u the benifit of the doubt and so I ordered a new remote and just had stock firmware )
No camera trick my boy. Actually he (Zak Maytum) was soaring close to 112 Kph (70 Mph) in this famous longboard ride which took place in a downhill attempt in Colorado. Here’s the vid…
