This thing is deciding to cut off and sometimes but more rarely back on
I notice it doing it in two main ways with two causes.
One cause is passing cars or approaching pedestrians, the other is certain scenarios like coming to a complete stop.
most times the signal led will be blinking and I quickly power it off and back on. Other times it will remain on but give a brief period of no throttle response.
With the size of the (beta*) internals, if the shell was the size of a ‘regular’ esk8 remote you could fit plenty of other gadgets (or a bigger battery…?).
* I’m sure the internals have changed for production units… Not sure if the footprint is larger or smaller though.
Yeah I have multiple boards I switch this receiver/remote between all running PWM. This last build has had terrible connectivity so I guess I need to experiment.
First thing I will try is moving it away from the massive lipo pack.
Does either the remote or receiver happen to be close to your phone? I’ve had it disconnect being too close to my phone before and it was easily solved by moving my phone to another pocket
Ironically I discovered this issue when I pulled out my phone with the VX1 in the same hand and noticed it disconnected the moment I loaded up this website…
It probably disconnects mid ride when the phone does some background processes that require a lot of cellular activity
I was thinking about this more, I had my phone right next to the VX1 trying to get it to disconnect on WiFi and it seemed to only do it once, but then I realized it might be because I’m probably on the 5 GHz band…
Tomorrow I’ll go into the routers settings and split the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands and test again. I think if my phone is on 2.4 GHz it might effect the remote more.
I think some of the 4G LTE stuff is around 2.4 GHz on the top end if that means anything about this interference. Though I may be completely wrong about all of this cus I’m no enginerd…
d00d you seem to have all your mHz and Ghz inline… check it out… I;ll do the same… maybe we’re on a fool’s errand… or maybe you have uncovered real science…
