Unity FW 4.3 isn’t available yet, so unable to test the Stormcore app.

I wouldn’t worry about the OSSR

yeah but im sure @DerelictRobot is focused on sorting 1.0 hardware out. I was more thinking that if UART stuff has changed i could try update the firmware for the current beta testers

I sm hoping for Ethercat or atleast 3 uarts and i2c.
Who owns 4.3 unity firmware. Is it a unicorn?

Sure is! I found one bug without the updated firmware but pretty much can’t help test. My interest was peaked last night

I think like 10,000 volts! There’s not really a voltage limit with motors more so the bearing speed limit.

The beta OSRR remotes will require a library update but the uart protocol changes are minor.
@Deodand and I have been in discussion on remotes since last year, and sitting down with Ben this week it became apparent that we had an opportunity to align how the remote >> ESC connection could be aligned/standardized.
More on this in the future, but because we’ve stayed aligned on this our existing 1.0 OSRR is fully compatible without hardware changes. Using the same base chipset as wand (52840 but different radio module version).

because they are worth like $30-$50 now, not even worth the time to sell 
PM me if you really do need it, I’ll need to reset it

Is this a stronger connection than 2.4khz standard stuff? Maybe even with 2.4 there can be variation with the signal strength but having had typical remotes losing reception I think due to being overwhelmed by other signals is hella dangerous.
Also u have a lead on a twist throttle that puts out a ppm or something the vesc can work with? Want to hook up a wired throttle of some sort to a street luge.

I can assure you that we’ve put a good amount of thought into the radio connection.
Most of the issues people have with remote connectivity comes from one common factor: the majority of people are riding around on cheap budget remotes. The radio chipset in a Nano costs about $0.26. The radios used in remotes like the Hoyt Puck, TRAMPA Wand, and the OSRR beta/1.0 hardware are top-tier modern radios with a number of features to combat interface.
I’m not sure what people expected to get trusting their safety to $30-40 remotes that cost a few dollars at most to mass manufacture. You’ll notice you don’t see reports of the Hoyt dropping out even on group rides in SF. You absolutely get what you pay for in radio tech.
It would make a lot more sense to just wire an analog throttle directly into the VESC (there’s support for this), or a wired interface with a pwm output.

Ehm russia.
There should be plenty of inexpensive transmitter/receiver hardware for RC. FlySky is well respected for RC use and RC users are extremely sensitive to issues given the cost of the planes/helis they fly.
The guts of a model like FS-GT2E should be reliable and inexpensive. Frequency hopping, dropped frame handling etc…could be a good candidate for a 3d printed printed.
To your point I bought a Hoyt Puck.

Sure, and there are. Yet here we are. The situation has vastly improved over the last year and the Puck now has a $99 version making it a fantastic go-to.

Will the Stormcore firmware be compatible with Vesc 4/6 based hardware?
Good to know they are running decent MOSFETs in the ESC.
Since the firmware was built form the ground up, is it safe to assume it doesn’t have the same problems the VESC’s firmware suffers from?

The firmware is not built from the ground up. We are actually working with Vedder to integrate dual ESC support into the main VESC project, which will produce some really awesome inter-compatibility that everyone will benefit from.
I’ll share more details as we progress as a lot of these developments happened only in the past few days when @DerelictRobot, Vedder and I were able to meet up and lay some initial plans on how to work together to address some of the challenges associated with continuing development on the VESC project and improving processes to ensure a safe and stable motor controller platform.

Is there a sign up for a 100 single?
Any chance it’ll have an imu?
Can the single work with the VESC firmware?
I’d be happy to throw one inside my Gotway Moster 84v and test it for balancing.
