Ok so before any more testing I just reset the whole system and redid the detection and input detection. Now it works! No idea wtf happened, but I’m happy for now. Also the tape and epoxy are holding up.

Now having issues with the remote…

Does anyone know why my remote might be having issues connecting? I tried to reconnect it with the receiver but no dice:

Also huge thanks to @mmaner for a Bluetooth module that’s working with my setup!

make sure you doing the pairing process correctly.

turn everything off
hold all the buttons on the remote down, minus the trim
turn on the board

anorak234 · October 9, 2019, 5:20pm

That worked! But when I hit the trigger nothing happens still.

I’ve got it connected to the ppm mapping tab and it’s not mapping. It’s on PID speed control no reverse. Is that correct?

mmaner · October 9, 2019, 5:21pm

It should, do the input detection again. post screen shots of the VESC tool if that doesnt work.

@mmaner

mmaner · October 9, 2019, 6:02pm

I dont know due, that’s weird. Do you have another remote you can use to test the input with?

anorak234 · October 9, 2019, 6:53pm

Unfortunately, no

I might be able to steal one from @Argent for testing though

mmaner · October 9, 2019, 7:03pm

sounds like a bad remote, cant be sure until you put a new remote on there and see if it works.

iamasalmon · October 9, 2019, 11:00pm

Haha, awesome!
I’ve done some tape-and-epoxy repairs in a jiffy at work before just to get through the job and some have held for YEARS, lol

Sucks that sexy remote is having issues… I wonder if there is any way to test that the remote is actually transmitting. That would take a lot of guesswork out

anorak234 · October 10, 2019, 2:46pm

I’m not sure what you mean. The remote connects to the Vesc tool and I’ve only been using the input setup tool. I have it set to PID speed control no reverse with a PPM controller.

mmaner · October 10, 2019, 2:59pm

I found an old nano remote last night. If i can find the RX, adn Im sure I can, Ill send it to you and you can test with it.

anorak234 · October 10, 2019, 3:02pm

Thanks! I’m pretty sure I can test with @Argent’s remote, so can I PM you if I need it? You’ve already helped so much with the bluetooth module

mmaner · October 10, 2019, 3:02pm

It’s all good. Im not planning on using so, so no big. If you find that you need it just let me know.

anorak234 · October 10, 2019, 5:46pm

I would love it if you’d be willing to find where that option is in the tool

anorak234 · October 11, 2019, 7:17pm

@deckoz Somewhere in here?

anorak234 · October 14, 2019, 1:06am

@Argent tested out his flipsky remote on the board today and it worked with zero issues. That means that the issue not for sure is the Hoyt st remote.

@DerelictRobot you have close connections with Hoyt skate I believe. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be up with the remote?

DerelictRobot · October 14, 2019, 1:21am

@anorak234 How old is the remote? I know the earlier bamboos had a weak throttle pin that has since been updated. I’d guess that is what is broken, since you’ve got zero response on throttle, but you’ve got a pwm signal jitter at neutral coming in from the receiver & it’s paired correctly.

I’d recommend reaching out directly to them via their support channels, they’ve got great customer service and will get you taken care of.

anorak234 · October 14, 2019, 3:32am

The remote is from the builders group buy. Thanks for the help - I’ve gone through the support channel and hopefully they’ll respond quickly

IndianGummy · October 14, 2019, 3:35am

i was having similar issues with my hoyt. they replaced the internals of my remote free of charge. their support team is amazing. reach out to them, jeff will take care of you!
