which remotes?
I don’t think it’s the MCU firmware that is the problem, it is the human firmware

but that’s outside my scope
I’m just saying that changing the firmware may not fix the problem of not having a single trigger option. 
On the dual trigger safety aspect for me it can def be a bit open to user over-reversing in full bidirectional current mode so I can see how single trigger is better for people who want that.
Coming from cycling I’m pretty happy with a brake first style control & cool to have reverse as a secondary feature.
Evolves having no reverse was simple enough but the Hyst Brake mode in the VESC PPM app where negative input is a brake on first press and reverse on a second press has worked well for me - is there a way to set that up currently with the firmware on these remotes?
Would probably be better to have PWM output for this reason.
or to abstract out the control modes in the code, and share them between ppm and vesc remote.

I’m trying to come up with a name for the dual throttle version, something regarding the inverse of a phase in electronic/electrical context just to mess up with evolve Phaze remote 
- AntiPhase – the classic 180° phase shift; simple, but mathy.
- πShift – directly refers to a phase shift of π radians (180°).
- Cos – if your original “Phase” evokes sin(θ), the natural orthogonal pair is cos(θ).
- Conjugate – as in complex conjugate ejθ→e−jθe^{jθ} \to e^{-jθ}ejθ→e−jθ, literally inverts the phase.
- Thetā (Theta-bar) – the complement/opposite of θ; very mathy.
- PhaseNeg / −Phase – a bit literal, but clean and nerdy.
- Quadrature – in signals, “quadrature” means 90° out of phase; sounds very engineering.
- InverseSin / InvSin – hints at the inverse operation of sin, subtle nerdy touch.
- Cosinus – slightly stylized, hints at sin ↔ cos complementarity.
- PhaseShifted – playful, as if it’s “shifted away from Phase.”
what do you guys suggest?

These are all great but my humor is more basic.
Unphase - simple, dumb, makes me grin
PhaseLiteral - as in the colloquial use of literally to mean not literally. This one makes me angry but i like the burn.
Negative phase or negative vector ?
Of your serious ideas i like negative phase best.
Also second vote for a trigger version - wouldn’t the single trigger just be a thumb wheel version with extra steps (linkage to establish a stronger center point) and not really a different fw or hardware besides a remotely placed sensor to accommodate the change in ergonomics?
Loving this project and the open source nature really rings my bell. Eskate loses so much to proprietary ip dying when enthusiasm or small companies go under. Keeps setting the community back

The best one :)
unphase sounds good
what about 3phase? (three phase sounds almost like free phase which makes a good point if the project will be open sourced)

If you want an electrician joke, call it 2phase. There is no 2phase power so it’s kinda a tell for when someone has just enough knowledge to get in trouble which is me trying to add to any open source project lol

@georgebenett I put my remote on a different Vesc with different firmware…
Both are Unitys.
Still the same deal. Throttle works. But no telemetry.
i’m working kinda hard to solve this also, i’m finishing up this tool
(please don’t try to use it yet)
so you’ll be able to update and flash your remote from a web browser, after this we can debug your setup and fix it

what’s the fw version on your unities?

I’ll have to look at the current one.
The first one I had updated to 6.06…
On other news @georgebenett I was playing in front of the house today on a wet road and the board slid out and I fell…
Happy to report the remote took it’s first hit and kept on ticking…

nice to know it held up!

How do you get the PCB for your remote? Are you going to upload the schematics for the remote control build?
