Do you have a VX2? Can you do this test for me? *SOLVED*

Yea its not an issue at all its just different.

my suggestion is throw it out and get a better remote :joy:

I hear you but I don’t know what is better that still has a screen?

Definitely at some point. Ive had a ton of disconnects at times. My phone seems to really mess up the signal of the remote too.

Ill follow this thread for a suggested remote with a screen. I wanted to get a puck but now I remembered to check for a screen and it doesnt have one.

vx4? @Evwan and @ShutterShock both have it

or the unobtainium osrr

I love the maytech v2.

Good besides the signal issues in dense areas

VX4 seems good but I still haven’t ridden with it

iRemote still hasn’t shipped and is completely untested by us

Yeah i have yet to experience even one signal issue with ANY remote, but my usual routes arent even downtown let alone a real city so thats no surprise.

Could I ask you to do the above test? Flick the wheel forward and immediately release.
Do the wheels start moving instantly or is there a quarter-second delay?

Have you checked deadband settings? Only thing i can think of…
Ramping time shouldnt act like that. Except maybe under load and odd conditions?

There is no delay

I also have it on full current mode on the test bench tho

Can confirm. Nearly 100 miles on my vx4 now

I see Positive Ramping Time under PPM:


…but the VX2 is running UART and there’s no settings at all under UART:

I do see an Input Deadband setting under Vesc Remote - General.

I will try changing it to 1%…

HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS THAT WORKED

KAI!!!

I have no goddamn idea how deadzone has anything at all to do with this delay but you fixed it!

I had a feeling. Its actually a combination. Deadband+ramp time. Deadband was causing a jump from 0 to whatever. Ramp time @ .4 seconds was interacting with that, which caused the delay. Reducing either would have likely solved it.

It’s bizarre that the VX1 doesn’t suffer from the same problem even with the same settings.
It must be reporting UART data in a subtly different way.

Basically, you were skipping from 0% throttle to 15, with an almost half second delay in how long the board would take to reach that 15% input.

Something something, how the vx2 transmits played in too idnthink

It makes sense. Maybe the VX1 is “lower resolution” so the first UART packet with any value is already 15% or something like that.
