I know this is old and just to make sure… if I’m running dual motor I have to set 14 motor pole pairs, right?

7 pole pairs, 14 magnets. The remote only reads telemetry from one vesc

Got it, thank you :+1:t2:

How did you get it to go on reverse mode?

Pull back the scroll wheel and press the mode button

Lol bro it took me and my friend QUITE some time to figure that out. We freakin reconfigured the stupid vesc like 3 times before we realized that I had actually set the motor directions correctly from the very first time and it was just the stupid remote breaking it

Yeah not intuitive at all. Double or even triple tapping one of the other buttons would be better imo.

Hi mate, did you ever get it working using an arduino to take the PPM output for brake detection? I’ve been searching the forum and wider internet trying to see how I can add a brake light on mine…

Did we were get to the bottom of this? I saw @Anubis suggest battery sag but I tried connecting the Unity tool to my unity at the same time as the VX2 pro and it was reporting 42.5V on a 12S pack when the remote was saying empty/almost empty

I’m now sort of double guessing myself, will repeat it later to make 100% sure that I’m seeing that voltage exactly when the remote is being difficult and that I’m not doing it after and letting the battery recover

Maybe it’s been mentioned before, but for anyone else like me who couldn’t get telemetry working with a Focbox Unity:

FAQ

Why the VX2 pro cannot show any data for my riding?

A: 1. Incorrect type of ESC selected(FSESC/FOCBOX). Since Benjamin has made improvements to be compatible with UNITY, Firmware versions above 5.0 are compatible with UNITY now. That is, they can be used for UNITY’s parameters setting. If your UNITY is using VESC TOOL 5.0 or higher, you need to select FSESC instead of FOCBOX in the remote. Otherwise, data cannot be reflected.

This is why you need to set it to FSESC not UNITY.

I switched my VX1 to a VX2 and there’s this annoying difference.

With the VX1 when you throttle up the board responds immediately:

With the VX2 there’s a delay of about half a second.

This kinda sucks because normally you brace for the acceleration but now you brace and nothing happens… And THEN it goes.

At lower power levels the delay gets even worse: at medium power level the delay is closer to a second and at low power level the delay is more than a second.

Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying delay?

recalibrate the thumb wheels in the remote setting and see if that fix the issue

Yeah I tried that. No luck.

pair it again?

You can also try checking the dead zone? Should be in the input settings of whatever flavour of VESC tool you use, I adjusted it on the android version earlier today
