Hey guys, I was wondering what to use for my flipsky vx1 remote. I was going to use PPM but in the manual, it says that I need to use UART if I want to reverse. I want my board to be like a boosted board (towards is forward, backward is the reverse, not break if you know what I mean). How can I get that? What should I use?
I don’t know if this information is relevant but I am using a dual 6354 setup and dual maytech vescs
Not exactly like it, I just like the way the remote works. This may be the default, but on my pre-built throttling backwards makes it come to a complete stop instead of moving in reverse.
I honestly don’t know what you want, but maybe investigate the different options in the VESC tool…
lots of options…
You can use PWM control and tell the VESC you want forward/reverse with brake. Or without brake, that’s also an option.
its not polite to speak ill of the dead. lol
Ohh ok, so even though it says use uart I can use ppm?
Yes. The receivers are the same. The only thing different is cable. If you have a PWM cable from somewhere else that receiver will work with PWM. Just get the Grnd, Signal, and +5 lined up correctly and you’re golden.
Ah ok, thank you! I’ll go with that then
