I had to solder a wire extension with the correct connector for the GT2B.
But once I paired the remote with the receiver and set the fail safe for the GT2B it seemed to behave normally when setting up the PPM mapping on VESC tool.
@rafaelinmissouri This is really playing with fire man. You don’t know what the voltage requirements for any of those parts are, and you are the first person to beta test it. It may work at full charge but then not work at mid or low remote charge.
I don’t know enough to tell you all the risks, but my understanding is that this is wildy unsafe. @DerelictRobot could say more
With Gt2b the main problem we had was RF interference in congested RF areas. Esk8con at the track exit with multiple boards occupying a small area we would experience signal drops
Was testing the 9-channel receiver at the beginning of the MT-12 testing. Never got to test it congested for drops with the 9c receiver but it seemingly had better range than the 3 channel receiver.
Love the trigger and feel of the tito mod gt2b. It was nice.
Would like to someday hardwire the controller and eliminate using wireless connection.
On the small wires I would use that adhesive lined shrink wrap. You can always make that if you don’t have it by snipping off tiny pieces of hot melt glue and shoving them inside the heatshrink tubing before you heat it. The trigger assembly is hard to say without looking at it in my hand. Some acrylic conformal coating on any non-moving pieces might definitely help. You don’t need thick coatings either. Unless there is a potentiometer in which case it’s almost impossible to waterproof. That being said, I have never once had a Mini fail in rain, even thunderstorms, for years. And they use cheap potentiometers so I don’t know.
Gt2b You can bind multiple receivers to one transmitter.
The 9 channel receiver has a better range than the 3 channel.
Cant say how it is in RF congestion. There were other transmitter receiver combis having similar cut issues at esk8on 24 in RF congestion, even with channel jumping, tech signal interrupts were reported.
Moving to the MT-12 erls setup has been the best setup connection wise that i have experienced to date. It uses drone tech on a ground conroller. Pretty much removed the oh shit factor from the GT2B racing days. Mt-12 has throttle/brake curve and power/brake level programming. The trigger style and bulk for some people is a turn off.
For what we do, it works very well.
MT12 trigger is really nice and there are insane amounts of features in the remote. Snag one @rafaelinmissouri ! Biggest drawback like @MoeStooge said is the size of the remote. I like the feel of the mt12 so much more than the mushiness of the zmote, but the size of the zmote is nice.
Still hoping someone re cases it someday or finds a way to run it without the screen plugged in or something.
does it work? does that hall sensor just act like a pot with those 3 wires? … that seems so unlikely..
The trigger is nice on the mt12
the main reason people tried it was for the signal reliablity due to lora radios and elrs protocol.
I keep thinking the right electronics project is to make a custom remote using the same radio. and possibly the whole EdgeTx env. (Edgetx is powerful but also overkill complicated tho)
doing a body mod on the mt12 could make it smaller. but.. not small. the circuit boards inside it aren’t small.
