Bingo. There is your answer then. UART needs to be active on the slave otherwise that port is sitting silent.
Please let me know if you have any questions on the firmware update. The first time is a bit of a climb but afterwards its pretty easy. It’s a slightly custom arduino setup.
I did a tutorial here:
1.0 firmware updates are totally different FWIW, more like VESC, just a USB connection and a button click. No more arduino.
I am updating. the supplied “bridges” of the programmer had to be soldered to the board I guess. tried without it but only fatal error after fatal error because the things wont fit tight enough.
the stock firmware is configured for the unity and imperial right?
I assume speedometer is now reporting accurately? If not-
The configuration webapp can be launched by holding the trigger in full reverse when you power on the remote. At that point just search for the WiFi AP it starts broadcasting on your phone, connect, and you’ll see a dialogue pop-up to ‘login to the wifi network’. Follow that and it will bring you to the configuration menu webpage.
Yep speed is accurate now and second UART port is working too!
The wifi app only showed up the first time I tried. Now I have to open it with 10.5.5.5 in any browser but thats ok. (android 10 samsung S10plus)
The O in the display - does it stand for Odometer?
Really I never felt that confident on any other thumbwheel. Throttle, Brake, Throttle… normally I have to reposition my thumb in between but not with the OSRR. This Milspec wheel is just perfect and so smooth. Hoyt is great - this is better!
@DerelictRobot Are you testing that Fanstel 840 already? I am looking for a good transceiver/mcu chip but have a hard time finding one. Seeing you talk about this chip and trampa using makes it look like it’s a good option.
I plan on improving the FireFly Nano, that one works with 920 Mhz LoRa, I have never had dropouts but not a fully stable connection either.
I’m testing & using the Fanstel 840F for the OSRR 1.0 Pro hardware. OSRR-D will use an Xbee3. Both are similar in performance.
Trampa wand uses a module based on the same NRF SoC (52840) but they use a module from Rigado (now uBlox I believe).
The 840F Fanstel module has a stronger antenna design and a bit higher power tx/rx as a result. So far all my testing has shown great results in reliability/performance of link budget.
