Xenith with VX1 remote problem

Product Warnings
#1

My friends. First build, total noob.

Got my xenith and my VX1 it worked good for the first test ride. Went home made some adjustments and tried to ride again a couple days later and when starting the board got some motor spin without remote input. Reinstalled the firmware with focbox ui and after with vesctool and I don’t get any signal from my remote ( re paired it every time and got the blue light from the receiver ok).

Can anyone help me? Is this a faulty remote or recover?

Thanks.

BLE error means somethin not quite right in the bluetooth communication, right?

#3

You using this remote via the ppm or uart port?

#4

Looks like it’s in the PPM port.

I remember there being LED activity when the throttle is used, so the error may be in the remote/receiver area.

I stopped using VX1s, personally. Far too many issues, disconnects, cut outs, etc. After 3 failed remotes I moved on. Couldn’t trust it anymore.

I’d recommend getting a different remote, at the very least for troubleshooting. Not the most cost effective, granted, but isolating where the issue is can be easier when you swap out a part.

Ppm mode.

It appears when I shut down the board and kept the app open.

What remote did you get?

#9

I went to a VX2, and while it’s not an amazing user experience, I haven’t had any actual issues.

The next build is using a Puck, but it’s not done yet. However I’ve built two boards for people using the Puck, and it’s pretty damn solid.
