That would be epic
Bonus points to anyone who knows why the number is 264

It’s the number of receivers in your boards.

well this turned into a shitstorm.
I feel like i put some logs on their fire then went out for the evening. returned home to find my house burnt down.

Are you interested in the paperclip?

(sorry @BillGordon i already typed this, it is constructive i promise.)
@b264 Personally i think if your getting cutouts or receiver failures frequently enough that this is a genuine problem then maybe you should be looking into switching up your remote/receiver combo.
BUT if you are set on hardware and do want that redundancy . . .
It would probably be a super easy job to set a $5 arduino up to receive PWM signals from 2 different receivers, compare them, see if either/both are valid, then generate another PWM that could be sent to both VESC’s.
A $5 peice of hardware and an evenings work could turn your dual receiver setup into a setup with actual redundancy, spacial isolated receivers, no crazy torque steer issues, fully ending this argument once and for all.

Arpanet reference?
Fantastic suggestion.
Also Lee & Jeff had great contributions in here that unfortunately got buried. Might want to make a new topic and pull those over there at some point if we actually wanted to build out a better system using an MCU.
But not sure how useful it would be across the board; might be a bandaid fix for poor single radio performance, etc. I don’t really run into connection issues, personally.

This whole thread is hilarious. If @b264 starts with a single drive, then adds a second drivetrain and second receiver, he can rightly say using the plain english definition of redundancy, that the second drivetrain is for redundancy.
The engineers are using an extra special alternate definition of redundancy.

great idea, and people would likely be to willing trade some $$ for increased safety as well.
