FeatherRemote and SmartRemote (Files in post #577)

Thanks a lot, really liked your solution

I’m thinking in doing it so that if the connection is restored the throttle has to be kept neutral for a given time until it is resumed

Thats how I do it on the “soft” mode… its more complex, but that’s the main idea.

My first version was the same like yours. But it sucks when u are just a few meters away from the board and the board goes into estop, u have to switch on off again… Blabla… sucks.

The worst I how mine is currently

It just goes to neutral until the board is reset, I only lóst connection once, but it was scary since I forgot I had it setup that way, almost run over two old dudes

I can’t understand why there aren’t any features like this in the remote section. Show me the result if u are done… would be nice to see a different version how to handle it…

Will do, there is a lot of other things I have to code first

So boysch! little update!

the PCB with receiver and step-down form 42V to 12V for headlights and adaptive break lights is finished. Had a little trouble to find all the components, but now its working great. Check out the short demonstration video!

Of course adjustable from the settings menu… always on, with headlights or off.

Can the throttle be reversed, so away-from-body is brake and towards-body is throttle?

Those of us using trigger remotes can’t really even try things like this without that feature

It’d be like borrowing your spouse’s car except the throttle and brake pedals are on opposite sides from yours … then a car pulls out in front of you … and you instinctively mash the throttle… despite being in full control the entire time up to that point when your reflexes activated

Theres no good reason, why these parts can’t be built into a 3d printed trigger style remote. Someone just needs to model it.

Do it :wink:

I think you just need to flip the wheelknob magnets. Tath way you would reverse the hall-effect
