Yeah, it happens on USB too. Is there a way to verify on the serial monitor that the signal from the remote is going through to the receiver?

what would you prefer: (sorry for spam but i just found a couple options i can do) https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Converter-Voltage-Regulator-Portable/dp/B00BZJ1DEC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1516847439&sr=8-11&keywords=3v+to+5v+boost+converter

Yes, the UBEC shares the GND. If only I could use VESC power, of course I won’t use a UBEC, but Îm powering a lot of ws2812. The total consumption is a bit high for the 2A 5V regulator built in the VESC.

I still have the same problem
 need to power cycle a few times to get it connected
 sometimes it fires up on the first try, sometimes not


Only good thing is once the receiver is connected, I can turn off the remote and turn it on again without the same problem.

No other solution for now
 Hoping the new firmware will resolve this.

Hmm, so I finally got my remote and receiver mostly working. Still having the power issues, but right now I’m more concerned with another issue. The Receiver is outputting to PWM with a MASSIVE min and max values. My maytech VESCs freeze anytime the timings go above 1ms annoyingly enough. I managed to fix it by going into the transmitter code and changing some values in the calculateThrottlePosition portion of the code. By lowering the maxHallValue and raising the minHallValue, I got my PWM signals between .3 and .9ms. with that little change, the Firefly is compatible with the Pulse Echo board after 1 little recalibration :hugs:

Not really for me. I really like this remote and it’s functionality.

634

yeah I mean for th gut that trades with you

635

It depends on who u ask. Someone may want a smaller remote that’s a more simple design. Just put out there just in case. Not trying to rip anyone off.

636

Is anyone selling completes of this remote? I’d love to buy one from you @solidgeek :slight_smile: I’m in Sweden so shipping wouldn’t be that bad!

jag har första beta, om din fixas snabbt kan han skicka i samma paket till oss @UniqueSnowflakeN27

638

Det har vart najs! Men annars gÄr det sÀkert att posta det i ett kuvert med 2st frimÀrken(14kr), eftersom att den inte vÀger sÄ vÀrst mycket :slight_smile:

639

I was also wondering if anyone is selling any completes. Didn’t quite understand @Jammeslu, and @UniqueSnowflakeN27 LOL

I would take a beta as well.

I was wondering why we need a charger board and a boost converter board. Aren’t there many other boards thats can do both?

EDIT: like i found a board like this, and it seems like it works. although i may be wrong.

That’s just a charger/protection circuit. It doesnt boost the voltage to 5V.

643

There’s the adafruit feather that comes with everything in one simple package. BMS, Boost and Arduino.
