If you want to know how fast it works: Put your board on the bench, throttle Wand before switching it on, then switch on the Wand. You will see that the very millisecond you switch on the Wand your motors will spin up.

So how about pushing that USB update through?
Not priority AA at the moment. Let Vedder finish the VESC-Tool 2.0 first.
We are trying to bang on the Wand in a focused way, close to spring time.
Maybe it should be a priority, seems like that’s what you promised on the initial sale of the Wand. Now it’s not a priority? Kinda regretting buying it right now.

We can’t do everything at once. Look at VESC-Tool. It took some time to get where we are today. Also VESC-Tool is the relevant interface and that has to come first. We have to work things in a certain order.
Working things in certain orders is much different than claiming it’s not a priority at the moment. Hope you understand that.

First ride with my new @Trampa Wand Remote. Didn’t go well. Lots of DISCO’s. Couldn’t keep it connected. As it disconnects I experienced very small “micro brakes.” This was usually as I was coming off of the throttle and always while braking. Depending on how fast I was going, they could be pretty abrupt. Eventually the wand would stop talking altogether. I’d shutdown the board and restart it. All’s well untill 3-4 mins later. Limped home at <10mph. I’ll spare the harrowing tale of being almost launched into a car.
Before we start poking the finger in my general direction, I went home and reattached my not-so-fancy-as-the-trampa-wand FLIPSKY VX2 and rode the rest of the pack without a single hiccup. Some may note that the FS VX2 is generally the same interface (can’t speak to the BLE) but at least it uses the same bi-directional port and has limited telemetry.
Deets: FLIPSKY DUAL 6.6 VESC (brand new - ran like butter with the VX2), Dual TB, 6355. Firmware 3.65 (updated last night). VESC Tool 1.28, Wand firmware (1.2?) and dongle also updated last night per instructions.
I have a lack of confidence in this product but I really want to to work. Request that somebody please dope-slap me for something I’ve obviously overlooked.

Obviously something must be wrong somewhere. We will find the issue. PM me and we can troubleshoot. The Wand shouldn’t have a single dropout. It could be as simple as a bad wire connection.
I got the Wand when it first came out, and all was good until recently. The wand will disconnect every so often and display the message “Joystick Faulty. Please refer to user manual.” However, when I pull up the user manual, there is nothing on that topic. It happened a few times when the I had first gotten the remote, but they were so rare I just overlooked them. Now it happens at least once every 7-10 minutes. Is there something I’m missing, or it my joystick actually faulty?

I feel like it would be good if these problems could be attempted to be fixed in public on the forum, specifically so others who are having similar issues can try to troubleshoot from your advice. Just saying.

If the joystick is broken, we will swap the circuit board. You need to send us an email. Until fixed, you should not use the remote.

I have sent emails/support requests on at least 5 different occasions, (starting in October) but have never received a response. Is there a different dedicated email for me to contact?

PM me your order number and we will get back to you ASAP.
@Trampa
I tried the wand for the first time and had some connection issues.
Sometimes there’s a small delay between when I move the joystick and when the board reacts.
For example:
- I start braking, nothing happens
- Breaking kicks in in a really jarring way
Same with acceleration.
I never had any issues with ppm with the same setup. Can you help me debug this? I would love to get this fixed, other than the disconnections the controller is amazing.
