@DEEIF @malJohann Im looking into a bf20 mill cnc conversion or a Omio X6 2200L router. Leaning more towards the omio x6 because my hobby space is limited and its a bit cheaper and easier to start off my cnc hobby. If I go with the router I will probably upgrade to a converted mill in due time anyway.

Its a little chine router :sweat_smile: and I know exactly nothing about CNC …
but I bought it after summer the last yr, to be ready when we move to our house … (and I’m absolutely not ready - the thing is I don’t get the space for it actually in our apartment).

Alessio helped me already a looooot, and all I know (or should I say - remember a bit) is from him !
It’s a bit a nightmare cause it’s like reading an unknown language for me

But it’s my 2020 goal !!!

it is it :

Now if you got any YT channel to learn, any tips, advice, books, videos …
I take all ! :sweat_smile:

Want to learn all ! 1st how to turn it ON would be nice.


:smiley: Awesome mate !!! Congrat to you too :+1:
You choose a good option I think !
(I don’t choose to convert one, because it will take me a lot more time I think, due to my not knowing. And a French mate, use almost the same, just 4 or 5 yrs old now, so I hope he could help me sometimes, maybe also in video, when I will be ready…)


Soon enough I hope :crossed_fingers:

I might be wrong but the you have to pair the nano x remote right? It doesnt just magically connect?

In the past … mine does (magically connect), just like Tartopom say :man_shrugging: don’t know why and how but …

@Tartopom ? arf … he is not here,… shame … we start around the same time (2013/2014 if remember well).
He does great longboarghini build in the past !

It’ll “work” without a manual pairing.
He should use the below procedure though.

These were instructions deckoz posted.

Plug in bind plug(short the ground and signal wire on the receiver on the bind slot)
Plug in board
Receiver should be flashing red

Hold the pinky button on the remote(do not let go)
Turn on the remote, continue to hold pinky button
After a few moments the LEDs on both the receiver and remote turn solid, you can now release the pinky button

Not necessary but I like to pull the throttle back and swiftly let go allowing the spring to center the throttle. This allows a natural spring center. Once satisfied with the throttle in center dont touch any buttons or the throttle, pull the bind plug. Pulling the bind plug sets the failsafe ppm value.

Your now bound and can power off the remote and board.
You can test failsafe by turning the remote off and back on with the board on, it should now self heal.

Before testing the failsafe centering. Go into the VESC on the PPM tab with Motor control disabled. The green bar at the bottom has a numerical output

-put the throttle on the remote to full - read the value on the green bar. Put that value in PPM max pulse width
-put the throttle on the remote to full break - read the value on the green bar. Put that value in ppm Min pulse width
-allow the throttle to center by spring, read the value on the green bar. Put that in ppm center

Write the configuration, re-enable motor control. Push the throttle to make the motors spin and turn the remote off while holding the throttle. The wheels should coast, not break or accelerate more. If they coast your failsafe center is set properly.

A yellow Unity? What sorcery is this?!

Yeah man it definitely helps with vibrations, but dulls your foot response. Gonna be perfect for the build its gonna be.

It magically connects each time, but you should and set the failsafe position once and re-calibrate it each time you operate it…
