@JJHoyt do the Hoyt puck remotes support multiple paired receivers?

not concurrently. for safety reasons, the puck can only be paired with one receiver at a time.

What is the procedure to set it up?

Install two receivers. Use one of these to program them https://www.amazon.com/XBee-USB-Adapter-Communication-Interface/dp/B07NYFBDCG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=Waveshare+XBee+USB+Adapter+USB+Communication+Board+with+Xbee+Interface+Supports+XBee+Connectivity&qid=1575516171&sr=8-2 . Vesc tool that shit. Ride redundantly.

I added a note at the top. This is for products supporting it, not for rewriting firmware or reengineering the product.

Would this really be any different than having to bind two fancy receivers? Genuine question.

No. Brian doesn’t know what he’s talking about. We’re also not talking about old RC remotes that people used in the 90’s. This is technology. We want to be able to control our devices.

Im very aware of the technology that you speak of. Im just more curious as to understanding why it would be different. Love to understand who thinks what and why.

If one Rx has no signal, the other Rx that has signal sends to the ESCs, or what does this do?

I think it’s in the case of one receiver per ESC, so if one receiver stops receiving, atleast one ESC retains control and can be used for braking or something similar. Some consider this as a method of redundancy.

I would think this too.

Also applies to esc’s, which fail more regularly. One goes, you still got one left with control.

If someone can create a switch that detects when an Rx has no signal and then switches, combining that with a buddy box might give actual dual crossover redundancy to at least PPM controllers.

I agree, seems very relevant to the application.

No offense, but purchasing a separate product just to update the software on your remote is not good design. Then again, it’s probably easier than reprogramming the wand, so eh.

Buying an $11 programmer is an investment I guess. But we do the same for our vescs if we need to. Not sure why this is any different? Better than the wand in my opinion.

P.S.- I’m pretty sure the programmer isn’t necessary on normal OSRR. I’m rocking the 2nd one made. If I’m thinking right, the receivers that were sent out already have a USB and can be programmed.

Yeah, i think Andrew can clarify but im sure thats not required with the standard receiver, only if you intend to add a second receiver and choose to DIY it.
