Lmao imagine
Yeah makes sense. I guess there isnāt really another good way to be able to pair to multiple receivers and make it simple besides that
The only time I could see it being dangerous is how theoretical disconnects are handled, but the probability of two boards disconnecting exactly at the same time is probably pretty low
A disconnection (which we can only produce by walking rather far away from the board) doesnāt result in any condition where the receiver would try to pair with a new remote. It will just pick up the same signal instantly when back in range.
Pairing status cannot be changed during runtime, only during a narrow window after the board starts up.
Sounds solid
Any views of the roundwheel vs the knobwheel? Assuming its whats on the default Bruce render.
Not at home ATM but Iāll get some pics of the throttle modules for the website soon.
This is an interesting decision now because I know you guys are using proper hardware in these and that Knobwheel style looks like a good feel in the hand. Though normally Iād just go for a Roundwheel style since that is what Iāve found the most safe over the years. Iāve had a couple instances, notably with the Wand, were a protruding style thumb control can accidentally catch on things.
Ever felt like that was an issue? Gonna go for one of these btw, so hold my order. Iāll send you a message.
For that exact reason we also borrowed the double-tap to throttle-lock function on the Puck. Itās become an automatic thing for me to lock my throttle any time Iām getting ready to drop my puck to free my hand.
Wonderful feature
But only when not accidentally triggering the unofficial cruise control.
I didnāt know this existed
I guess I could try watching the Puck instructional video
Iām pretty sure I blew 4 different peopleās minds at CarvePDX with that one. A lot donāt know.
Massively underrated safety feature. We need to do a PSA perhaps.
Yeah I usually just turn off the remote when Iām stopped lol
Perfect, and absolutely necessary feature. The pcb inside all looks to be ported so guessing that means everything is plug and play. Meaning you could switch between the two styles if you wanted?
So, what is it, you double press the āTā button?
power button twice
Ah nice alright
Yes. This PCB revision isnāt perfect; with RA headers directly mounted on PCB it only works with 2/4 of the shell designs, otherwise you have to bottom-mount them, so we ended up using small pigtail extensions for this first beta batch for anyone who wants to play with multiple designs.
Next hardware revision will reduce the overall PCB size/shape so this problem goes away.
I guess weāre due to make an official thread here shortly, but Renee just gave a peek at some other new features; on-remote fault alerts & the secondary display screen with motor/esc temp & wh/mile.
@fessyfoo You had some questions related to quickly being able to check battery voltage, etc during a ride; the design intent was to bring any ride-relevant information directly to your remote so that your phone can stay put away during your ride. FreeSK8 Mobile has always been intended as a post/pre-ride application, as weāre taking the integrated approach with Robogotchi & OSRR hardware.
Looks like you put turkish delight on them
