Flipsky VX4 remote

I think 2.5, I forgot. Bought it from someone else

I switched my VX4 receiver from uart to ppm on my Unity because I added a Davega, and now I can’t get it to trun off. If I unplug my receiver from the ppm port, I can turn it off. Any idea how to fix this?

Anyone?

Okay so I have a vx4 but the potentiometer went out in it. I love the remote but I don’t wanna buy another one so I was wondering if anybody knew what kind of potentiometer was in it and where I could get one.

I’ve been using my puck in lefthand mode in my right hand like you advised and it works like I wanted it to. Thank you for that.

I also have a vx4 with a janky potentiometer.

This guy has replaced his with a better one:

@3DServisas is that you?

Plus @ShutterShock said he was going to replace his pt with a Cybersomething pot that is better.
Shutter: how is that coming along? I need videos!

Here another one with a janky potentiometer.

@PedroMcJimenez Replaced his VX4s pot with a Cybertech Throttle. Cant find a piture right now though.

I installed the v1.2 firmware and works for me. No deadband now.
I followed this tutorial:

I also updated my VX4 firmware and I like the new main display and all the added features. Still zero issues with mine.

Too bad no files to be able to update via Mac.

I sent something to Flipsky about that. When I tried to download the files on a PC laptop the files are corrupted.

Tried downloading the necessary update files to my work PC to update the remote but it seems most of the files are blocked by my company’s antivirus stuff. Anyone know if it’s possible to update the remote on a Chromebook? About the only hope I have left is my 11 year old son’s Chromebook. jeez.

Any chance it’s just a Windows error that you can get around? These error messages can be skipped if you click the little more info text

Apologies if this is basic stuff you’ve tried already, VESC tool popped one of these for me last night so it’s fresh in mind

My work computer is too locked down with antivirus/defender type bullshit, I’m not surprised I couldn’t do it on it. I don’t even know if I can install a font without IT admin rights. I didn’t realize there was an .exe file as part of the install process as well, which is definitely blocked from install on my work comp. My only hope is my son’s Chromebook
