@Wajdi : Super Painfull guy (me) is back , can i get an update on our batch please ?
Hi everone! I’ve got two photons, one with a quick discharging battery. I’m charging both of them until orange led went out (both remotes powered off bytheway). If I power Photon #1 on after a week it says 86%, acceptable. The second one, after the same one week… the battery discharges down to 6%!
Anyone some ideas/same problem? @Wajdi ?
Until now i haven’t opened the remotes, because i’m hoping its just some software-related bug. But meanwhile i think its a) a bad battery or b) the circuit of the photon is sucking too much current while on standby, because the remote is always on standby or on (as i understand it) there is now on/off switch to physicaly disconnect the battery. Maybe thats an idea for further versions? If I don’t use the remote over the next wintertime, lets say 3-4 month, should it always be plugged in all the time…?
Thanks and have a nice one
I ordered Photon last December. Will it arrive soon enough?
Hey guys, sorry I was away for a couple days, but I’m back now. I’m in the process of shipping out the packages, keep an eye on confirmation emails.
If I ordered a Photon today when could I expect it to be delivered?
What’s the lead time if ordering now?
Hey @Wajdi sorry for the slow reply - heres a photo of the connection. The green light on the receiver is on but the motors dont spin. They work fine with my maytech remote so i feel like im just not connecting the photon remote properly
@lennylogs You bought two receivers right? If I remember correctly, I have setup one receiver as master, and the other as slave for your convenience. Please confirm and I will show you how to rebind.
@SuperBen @Minim Lead time right now is less than a week, I just shipped most pre-orders, and still have extra parts.
No - just one receiver. Maybe it still needs to be rebinded/rebound?
Ok, I sent you a PM.
Thanks for getting back to me
One week thats not bad at all. I was interested back in December but waited to start my build. Seeing that guy who posted this week who has been waiting since December was throwing me off.
Order placed!
Thanks for your order, Lee’s order was placed in March, I don’t why he said December
Hahaha
Awesome man thanks! The Photon wait had me going down the rabbit hole last night, I was thiiiiis close to investing in a 3D printer and everything lol
Very excited to see this bad boy in action, been following this thread for 4-5 months
Do you have updates for orders placed late February? I’m excited to receive mine Order: ES-252 Date: Feb26 - 2018.
Thx!
I sent you tracking number earlier today, let me know if you have received it.
I see some posts here about weird throttle response. Is this only a minority that are on that side? Any user reviews out there?
Very much looking forward to receiving mine My build starts in earnest this week so hoping to bypass installing the Maytech remote that came with my original parts list. Still I can use it for a back up, or second board
Wajdi - Did not receive it, i checked my spam folder as well. Dang! Thanks for looking into it.
@lazerusrm I sent you PM. @Minim Throttle works the same as any standard remote, except it has more range, better accuracy, and fast response thanks to it’s 32bit MCU.
I received the tracking number. It is troublesome to check the voltage with the smartphone, but this is also the end. I am looking forward to it!
