I got my Nano-X weeks ago but could not ride my board due to lack of wheels. I did some try testing on the bench and it worked brilliant. Now, 4 weeks later with no further action in between the remote does not bind anymore! The green LED (TX) and red LED (RX) are flashing continuously.
When I move the cable from channel 1 to Bind on the receiver, the remote binds immediately. Going back to channel 1 same story as before.
So, while doing tests I was shaking the receiver a bit and bending the cable back and forth and boom, the remote connects again. Not shaking the cable/receiver and the damn thing flashes forever. So, I really think that something is messed up with the receiver. Maybe some cold solder joints, partially loose cables, etc… I have not opened the receiver yet but I will do so this afternoon and let you guys know what’s going on.
Edit:
Inside the Rx is just a solid PCB. However, I have to bend the connector attached to the pins to get the remote to bind. Doing this on my old GT2E all works fine without any issues … hmm
Edit2:
When I move the connector up/down the pins on the receiver it connects immediately (max 3-5s). And once it is connected I can move the connector up/down shake the hell out of it, bend it back and forth and the binding is still remains active … wtf???
I have problems too - I have to remove my receiver from the enclosure each time to get it to bind. Even with the remote right against the enclosure it doesn’t bind, Once it does though - it’s great. Have taken to carrying tools with me to open the enclosure and close it again. Once it’s bound it’s solid.
Hmm, it’s a bit more strange than I thought. Definitely not the transmitter. My wires are soldered to the VESC, however, moving the cable just a tiny bit (tiniest bit) and the thing binds. Not moving the cable at all nothing binds. In order to rule the RX out I have to change the cable.
But anyway, why the heck has the GT2E no issues at all (binds in less than 2s) and the Nano-X is flashing forever??? Ahhh …
Here is a picture of the PCB inside the RX housing.
But it looks solid to me. It’s getting even weirder now. When I touch the cable with my bare hands it binds immediately. However, when I use a plastic clamp instead I can bend twist do whatever you can imagine and nothing happens. Only binds when I touch the cable with my hands???
It’s too late… I got the space cell + remote deal a while ago and I am still waiting on it… I hope by the time I get it this whole thing is resolved.
Looks like they are on holiday till the 14th for the most part. I contacted them and they just took my email down on a list and said they’ll get back to me. Good thing I can’t ride my board in this snow right now anyway or I’d be super mad about it. To much hype for a remote that can’t even live up to my gt2b.
