Buckler shows in stock also 
Hey @Adamvos
I was ridding with a buddy who purchased a new Lonestar from you guys.
The PPM mapping in the vesc was calibrated with the hoyt puck in mode 2.
so… his mode 1 was a little more punchy then one might like.
mode 2 was full range of power.
mode 3 was full range of power in front portion of throttle a dead band at the top
so… just a PSA to everyone.

This is basic shit…
Very concerning. That means the board was never full throttled before being shipped.
I wonder if they’d name who their head engineer(s) are/is.
Who is their is the DIY pro?
An esk8 company selling vesc based boards without some staff that are considered experts by other experts is a non-starter imo.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about this. Have them reach out to us and we’ll get that fixed for them right away.
All boards are tested and go through quality control before shipping. Changing through the modes will be a step we pay closer attention to when programming and going through quality control.
I’m more than happy to say I am the one to assemble, program, test, and ship the boards. No hard feeling in your concerns at all, we appreciate the feedback. Furthermore, this is not a normal occurrence and I’m glad it was brought to our attention so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.
All Hoyt 2.0 remotes we receive are set to mode 3 when turned on. I would have to assume the mode button must have accidentally been press before we got around to programming it

I suggest you make sure to do a full throttle pull on every board before you ship it out.
Also please do not use chi battery. Ignore their hype, it’s all about ebike packs. I’ve yet to see an esk8 pack of theirs exceed or meet the quality of a seasoned builder.

@Adamvos , we have three Stormcore 2.0s running in our group now. So far they have all been performing well, no overheating, no cutouts or other major BS. There’s one little problem common to all three boards that I can’t figure out.
All three builds are using a VX4 Pro remote in UART mode. Two are 18s boards, one is 12s. For some reason the remote will vibrate once in awhile and say that the board battery is too low. This happens when accelerating and when braking regardless of actual battery level. It doesn’t happen when the remote is idle but still paired to the board. I can not make a condition that forces it to happen, it seems to be a random occurrence but happens multiple times on every ride.
These remotes and receivers only do this when hooked up to the Stormcore. It’s not a huge deal, the remote remains connected the whole time, but it is kind of alarming when you’re focused on riding and the remote starts vibrating.
Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?
Have you done an AB test with another remote to eliminate the input as the problem?
I have, but only with other VX4 Pro remotes. I’ve also switched the remotes in question to other builds and did not have this issue. No other types of remote laying around right now but can try it with the GB remote once that’s available.
Seems like a remote issue to me. If that low voltage alarm was ‘true’ then you would have had a cutout of some other issue you could feel as the rider.

Yeah I would have met the dirt by now for sure. It’s definitely not cutting out. What is confusing me is that the remotes only do this when paired with the Stormcore 2.0.
This is basic and not meant as a dig, but you’re setting the cell count in the remote settings right.

No offense taken. I’m hoping it is something basic that I missed, but yeah the series counts are set at the right values.

Since it seems to happen only during acceleration/regen, I wonder if the Stormcore 2.0 is picking up noise that is too fast to trigger a fault for the esc, but the raw streamed data to the remote has data points that are above/below HVP/LVP.

That could make sense, it only happens for a split second, you wouldn’t be able to read the warning on the remote if you didn’t already know what it says.

do you have any kinda telemetry logging you could zoom in and see if the uart data collected sees the drops/spikes outsize of vx4 alarm ranges.
tho you’d be watching a separate uart stream.. and I think the data is collected via polling. and the telemetry device vs vx4 may have different polling intervals. still, if the telemetry logger sees something.. it would prove @A-damW’s theory.
Also I assume hooked up in Uart means you didn’t hook up battery+ on the receiver. otherwise it might be reading battery another way. (no docs on what it does if you hookup both uart and bat+)
