Awesome. Totally understand. I like the wood look, itās pretty neat. From what I heard before I think you guys are using the same high quality actuator-trigger that the OSRR had? I didnāt keep up with all that very well at the time
Nope, this was on the beta tester in question few months ago, whom has designed his own with advice from us. So now itās a totally in-house made 16-bit hall effect sensor thingie.
The new aluminum thumbwheels can be seen here:
Also, the main priority of this remote is being a trigger remote. The thumbwheel came around because of engineering prowess of some testers. Stay tuned for the trigger remote pics next week.
Ooh thatās very exciting! Sounds awesome.
Indeed it is, I know next to nothing about electronics, but what I do know is I rode this remote through both spots where my puck would drop out, no issues. This is also the same remote that gave me the confidence to push my board harder then ever before
49mphā¦would be a bad speed for a cut out. @KAMI_Boards keep up the great work! Really exited for the production batch!
Yeah my current remote makes me ride more conservatively
Between that and my one bergmister tire that has wobble, it limits me to about 35 before it gets really sketchy
Tbh cutout at anything above 20 is scary
The way the Maytech cuts is weird too, it continues whatever the last command was that you were giving it. If you are neutral and it cuts out, it coasts, accelerating and it cuts, stays accelerating at same rate, and likewise for braking.
Better than the hobbywing one though where cutout = full brake lol
@ShutterShock Yep, iRemote has a 2nd channel that can be used for lights, controlled by a trigger style extra button on the side, and that can be programmed for Cruise control, safety switch or reverse toggling.
It has proper implementation of Frequency Hopping, protecting it from any interference whatsoever.
A trigger style version is also coming up soon, its circular shape makes it to retrofit into many other enclosure designs.
The production enclosure will be made out of MJF, smooth, super strong and looks nice.
The beta remote I had, had programmable options for how you want your system to handle a cut out in case one happens. You could chose between neutral coasting or soft brakes. I took the remote many places, as busy as San Francisco, all over Oakland, including Bart, hills and mountains, forrest, Joshua tree dessertā¦functioned well in all of the placesā¦even took it to Bombay beach place is a bit scary lol
Sounds like a great product! Would 100% buy one if thatās still a feature when they come out because that is a great option to have
isnāt it there is a tunnel that always have cutouts, maybe try that?
sorry i donāt remember the name of it, just keywords
Not sure which tunnel this is, but I will find out and try it.
I donāt see them taking this away. I love this option too
Your referring to the Kami remote correct? Just making sure I mark the correct one, im probably gonna get both anyways because they seem like they are coming for the puck remotes throneā¦
Your remote looks great!
Curious; are you using the ESP32 built-in radio for the remote connection?
@ShutterShock I believe @KAMI_Boards is using the same radios used in the OSRR. Can confirm that they are top-notch (and spendy).
Correct, this is the only remote I have been testing
Man the remote scene is something to watch for sureā¦ within the past year it went from pretty awful to you three producing insane top notch remotes that will hopefully solve all our issuesā¦
Thanks for the peek inside!
Is there any concern about the bottom of the battery possibly shorting those two contacts together over time?
[edit] No, this is not an issueā¦see below.
Awesome! What kind of signal is it? Does it have a relay or is it just a high-low style implementation?
Great! This is something I could always depend on my GT2b to do perfectly.
yeah it will be interesting to test out. Iām not a fan of the default puck style, but it looks like yours has some improvements over that.
Thatās an excellent idea, soft brakes sounds nice.
Great to hear real-life feedback on it
Yeah that sounds right, heard they were spendy as well but worth it. Iād pay more to not have cutouts after experiencing them firsthand.
Thanks for noticing. The case was designed to have a separator between the connectors and the batteries. Thereās a wall that separates wires from the battery.
Let us clear this up. This prototype uses older type of battery protection/charging circuit. The case should have a small wall to protect them from contact.
The new USB-C version is going to have different layout and the battery is going to be user-replaceable. So no more exposed wires near the battery.
Prototypes are just prototypes sometimes. We learn from them.
