Forgot to post here : @SirVesa sent me a dummy 3D print of the original dual trigger model before the screen move and size poll.
I’d definitely say 105% bigger would be good - one other thing is that I felt the bump/ridge under the throttle trigger could be a little more emphasized to help keep the top of the middle finger out of the way of rubbing the bottom of the trigger while it moves.
I haven’t kept up with this remote in awhile. Are you able to adjust board settings via the remote? Like battery series count, wheel size and gear ratio?
That sounds terrible. You shouldn’t be able to break a board by operating the remote, in my opinion. (Unless you crash it)
The question he’s asking is coming from the perspective of non-vesc ESCs from brands in China.
This remote gets it’s data from the vesc telemetry. All of that telemetry constants like battery series count and drive ratios are in some hard to find place in vesc tool.
If you set that up correctly when programming your board then the remote should always show the correct data.
Do I have any of this wrong @georgebenett ?

another point to consider, apps like yours truly and metr, seem to keep their own constants in their config. and don’t update the constants in vesc tool.
the OSRR was the first remote/app i saw that read the related settings stored in the vesc.
so i’ve often wondered which ones behave that way and which don’t.
sounds like this doesn’t use the gear ratio or battery parameters from the settings in the vesc.
Ok kids.
I need help setting this up. My first non PPM remote.
I plugged it in as such
It talks to the Vesc.
But I have no telemetry.
And I can’t seem to set up proper Vesc Remote control…
Am I plugged in right???
Can someone help with steps in the Vesc App to make it work.
Gracias
change “app to use” from PPM to uart.
when you do this a new “vesc remote” shows up.
configure control type there. note you don’t have as many choices as with the PPM app.
also in case it’s needed:

I switched app to Use from PPM and UART to just UART.
I am not getting the VESC Remote to work right…
It’s going backwards…
And I don’t see an option to change remote direction…
If I change motor direction it only works I the right way in current bidirectional…
Also how does the telemetry work right?
I feel so stupid not knowing where this info was hiding after doing initial motor detection setup. Thank you

if you’re getting throttle through. you have uart comms.
I think switching motor direction is the way you get forward to be forward. but it’s been a while since i used uart. so not sure what’s going wrong for you.
the telemetry not working when communication is working.. idk wait for the experts?
I think the apps poll for telemetry. but maybe they rely on the status message? is yours set to something?

I haven’t used this, but do you have to configure it using this tool to display a speed?
Until now I thought the receiver actually was PPM+UART since it has that three wire plug, but I see it’s actually a four pin CAN without the 5V I think? Does the CAN do the telemetry?
It’s too bad to lose the PPM brake modes and throttle curves. Maybe those could come from the firmware side sometime in the future as a possibility?
