But does this even matter? The vesc show the red led with or without the receiver connected.
Edit: I forgot to say that the pulsewidth is nearly constant at 55%
Can you show a pic with the led on? I want to see the led position, the colors could have been swaped (doesnt affect performance)
I made a picture when the vesc turned off. With the blue led on you would not see anything beside it on the image.
Led 1 is always red, led 3 is always blue and led 2 blinks 3 times red on start up.
Ok, led 1 should be a green led, but it’s red, no big deal, just color.
So 2 middle led would be red if there was a problem with the vesc?
Yes, led 2 will constantly blink 3 times if there was a fault code.
Okay. Then the problem should be somewhere with the bluetoothconnection…
make sure your receiver is in the right channel.
I don’t know what remote you have, but you seem to have another channel on the header
That’s true. I’m using the channel the remote was connected to when i opened the board for the first time. Changing the channel does not change anything. The pulsewith displayed in bldc still stays nearly constant at 55%. But shortly after i changed the channel the board somehow accelerated for a short time and then stopped again without touching the remote. I am not quite sure if the bluetooth receiver maybe broken.
what remote do you have? maybe your remote is not binded to your receiver
I got the standard remote that came with the magneto board. It is one of those chinese cloneboards. It should be binded because a led indicates the battery status. That’s why i suppose that the transmitter should be okay.
I think it’s a steez remote… you can try this
This does affect the remote. When i change the channel the remotes led does not indicate the battery status of the board. So the remote must have been on the right channel.
ok, i am not familiar with the remote you are using… would you have a link to it online?
It is this one: https://magnetoelectricskateboard.com/products/magneto-bluetooth-controller?variant=6827418629
that looks exactly like the steez remote… do you have a configuration manual or something?
Yes, but it does not help. Only a few words on how to accelerate and what the leds mean…
sorry man, i’m not familiar with steez type remotes neither, but there’s info on the forum, like the link at the top
Okay. But thanks a lot for your help.
Gents, I’m at my wits end with my remote. I’m fairly new to this so it’s probably me, not the remote.
1- Can I take a remote controller and receiver that’s working fine on Board A and then plug it into the Board B and expect it to work?
I have an Alien Power Systems remote control (RF). It’s set on CH2 and was working great on my first skatebaord.
Really appreciate any help you can provide.
