Did you remove the batteries after you updated it?
Yes I did everything mentioned in the tutorial. I guess if I reflash the firmware it will be ok but the pairing via wizard does not work.
It looked fine after the update, logo everthing but after I tried to pair it it started acting up. Latest firmwares from vesc tool 2.0 on wand, ble and vesc.
Opening enclosures, opening the Wand, way too short cables and last but not least non working - I am sorry but its just cumbersome.
Try a lower fw version just to rule out the update?
Gave up for tonight (1:30am over here) but will try again.
Let’s swap the Wand. I’ll sort that out today.
@trampa do you by any chance have a used or slightly defective (like case damaged) wand that you could sell for slightly cheaper
Where is the flashlight addon?
Sorry, we don’t have any used stock that we can discount.
I just updated the Wand to avoid the starting delay due to the animation.
Now I’m having an issue.
When I wake the remote up, the motors start to make a little noise like if I were pushing gently the throttle. If I touch the throttle, it stops.
Also, the neutral position is now way more shifted than before.
Almost no deadband for accelerating, and a huge one from breaking. Little bit scary.
Check the behaviour in this video (FW 1.2, read on the 3rd tab)
Note : brake light deadband is 10.0%.
So it lights up when relative throttle reached -10% from master VESC.
I couldn’t check the code of this version since Vedder didn’t updated it on Github (latest is v1.0).
@Trampa any other feedbacks about that ?
I made a request about being able to tweak the neutral position but no feedback on that.
Is it in the TODO ?
EDIT : I plotted this on VESC Tool. This time was scary the board started to roll with some torque !!
I lifted the rear truck up, one motor went crazy in the ERPM in one way, the other in the opposite direction…
Duuuuuuuuuude does this thing have a disposable battery??
Duuuuuude you one year too late with this question
People use rechargeable AAA cells thou
What about the indicator on the Wand itself? Is that centred and moves according to the input?
Yes

Thanks
Would be cool if the wand had a NiMh mode for a more accurate battery % on rechargeables.
Over in the OSRR thread, it appears their dongle will work with a wand and has better range.
