do yourself a favor, and open up your VX1 and look at the wiringā€¦

whatā€™s the perfect 1/4 wave dipole antenna length at 2.4 GHzā€¦ I donā€™t wanna do the mathā€¦ itā€™s something like 32mm (i think)

faaaaaaaaaaaaaak I gotta purty good memory for a drunk!..

can you do a simulation on an L bent dipole on your software?

yeah actually

just bent a halfway ? or perhaps 31mm each direction?

the remote is solid as fuck after you unfukitā€¦

do the legwork and make your shit rightā€¦

no
Jury rigging anythingā€¦

id think try bothā€¦ a 31mm dipole bent at 1/2 way 90 degrees, and then a 62mm antenna bent at 31mm

iā€™m going to sit here and watch real science being done

Jerry rigging doesnā€™t always have to have a negative connotation my friend.

Just sucks that a company can get away with such shitty quality control.

#51

yes it does
you obviously werenā€™t confident in your jury-rig and came here asking for a new PPM cable

think about it

Jury-rigged means something was assembled quickly with the materials on hand. Jerry-built means it was cheaply or poorly built. Jerry-rigged is a variant of jury-rigged, and it may have been influenced by jerry-built.

Jerry rigged just means with what is on hand.And at the time I was perfectly confident in it.

Like I said, just trying different things. From my experience working on cars, motorcycles, and electronics, sometimes the least likely solution solves the issue.

Iā€™m not here to argue semantics. Just trying to solve a problem, not argue.

#56

iā€™m not here to argue eitherā€¦
i just see whatā€™s placed before me and add analysisā€¦

itā€™s Occamā€™s Razorā€¦ the simplest solution is probably the bestā€¦
iā€™ve take the Razor to the utmost extents and told you to look at and fix the easiest problemsā€¦ itā€™s up to you whether you choose to go that direction

BTW is your VX1 a UART or a PPM remote?

i kin give you a head startā€¦

I believe it is UART

#58

then this will help you a TONā€¦

  1. When you choose UART mode connection for VX1 remote receiver, pls do connection after your programming in VESC tool. Or else , it will influence programming. And In UART mode, there is no need to do adjust for remote.

in HW4 vs HW6 the placement of the RX and TX pins are swappedā€¦

Unity is FW4, if you bought a HW6 VX1 then you will have to depin the RX and TX pins and repin themā€¦ about 30 seconds work if you have done it beforeā€¦

or you can chop and cut and butcher the wires and resolder thoseā€¦

learn how to repin a JSTā€¦ itā€™s easy~peasy

remember I donā€™t know what you have, Iā€™m just giving you knowledge to unfukkit

if you can run it PPM you can just plug it in same as the mini

Iā€™ve done plenty of repinning. Yeah I already looked at the diagram and rearranged them.

Now I need to solder to the power cable for battery status.

Iā€™ve programmed the esc already. Input is set to ppm, though

Since programming is done, I just need to go into VESC tool and change to UART right?

good luck
