hi,before I search aliexpress for a tiny led battery capacity indicator and try to stick it into the Z.mote I would like you to confirm: the led indicator on the Z.Mote ONLY signals whether it is connected or not to the vesc. Correct?
As far as I am aware, thats correct. Hes never mentioned capacity. Id be interested in doing something similarā¦ Post what you come up with
Iām confused:
āThereās a single bi-color led to interface with the remote which can tell you the connection status, battery level and the current speed mode.ā. This refers to the trigger-only version of the remote. I got the last split trigger version and I noticed that once turned on and just before signaling successful connection to the vesc, the led of the remote sends a single flash. Maybe that flesh tells the status of the battery? It seems to me that such a signal has always been blue, but maybe Iām wrong and at low battery maybe the color of that flash changes. These are only conjectures, does anyone know more about this?

Ive seen Blue,Purple,Red. I have not had the battery go low as of yet so I can assume it would flash red for low batt but no indication of what % it is

He just sent me this email with the functionality of the LED.
"If you click the right button momentarily, the battery check function will take over for about 2-3 seconds. After hitting the right button, the color you see will indicate the battery percentage. Blue color is over %70, purple is between 30-70, red is 10-30 and flashing red is below %10. "

And in regular use, red is slow mode, blue is fast mode

all of this info is obliquely burried in his videos.
soemone needs to make an easier to reference knowledge base. I was almost motivated to do it at one pointā¦ but didnāt get there.

Kman just uploaded a video showing setup for both single and dual trigger remotes. Video is time stamped to make it easier.
