Hi,
Just a question.
My Bremote shows the value of the foil battery and 0c.
What does it means?
I have no VESC just a normal ESC connected by PWM output of the receiver.
Many thanks
Stefan
0c = 0°C ESC temperature
This feature only works with VESC
Solution: Disable #define SHOW_TEMP in the Tx config
All those settings are explained here

Very cool that you added the reverse functionality. Now I will give it a try. The new design looks also very promissing.Does it float by itself because it is so skinny? Thank you for sharing your skills with all of us.
People say that the PU foam is hard to get.
I found the Talamex PU foam on the Waveinn webpage.
It was about 20€ and was shipped quite fast to Germany.
BTW: I have a lot of leftover. If You need some foam near Bremen, contact me.
I need one (or a few) bremote LR-receiver for my next tow project.
Is anybody in Europe/Austria who has one left and wants to sell it to me?
Or is there a “simple”/preconfigured way to buy at JLC?
Thanks!
I got a complete LR Kit
@Jesserosco Another question I’ve only thought of now about remote calibration with BLHeli32 on dual motor boogies as I still can’t get it perfect. Do you calibrate each ESC separately or at the same time?
So I was careless when playing around with my dual motor tow boogie and plugged the ESC gnd/signal cable in reverse, now I’m not getting signal to the ESC on the ‘10k’ side (after connecting it the right way). I haven’t checked for bad connections but in theory have I messed up here? What steps should I try to troubleshoot?
The BEC is still working outputting 5v?
I manually input the min and max throttle in BLHeli. I don’t use the throttle calibration.
These are the settings I use. I had to adjust the min throttle and then see if the motor would start going without any throttle applied and I quit adjusting it once the motor doesn’t move without throttle applied. It takes a few goes, but if you have the stock BREmote code these settings should get you close. I also adjusted the BREmote RX code as per @ludwig_bre instruction to get the tow boogie going as straight as possible by having my left motor start just a little earlier than my left because I had issues with them steering a little left.
To make fine adjustments to get them really synced up for your boogie you can add or subtract some to make it start sooner or later on the second motor using this line of code in the BREmote_RX file under the communication.ino tab line 130 on mine. I have + 15 for this one which makes the second motor start a little sooner than the first motor. If you want it to start later than you can have a - (minus) whatever number. Also something you will have to play with to get everything synced up to your liking.

Yes from BEC 5v before the 10k resistor and 0.3v after it.
Hmm, that sounds like the output has been damaged
Without power applied and with the ESC disconnected from the 2nd output, measure resistance between EMI and CAT pads (alternatively between signal and GND wire of the 2nd output)
Hi Ludwig,
I like to add a temperature measurement to the RX.
So I connected an NTC to A5 (SCL) (I dont use the I2C right now).
Now I struggle to send the temperature value back to the TX.
I used the payload_arr[4] but nothing is shown on the TX (only 0c).
Can You please tell me the trick 
Thanks
Check the updatePayload function at the end of Radio.ino in Rx source. This is where you can add your analog reading.
Or just set fetTemp somewhere in the code asynchronous
Or delete the line there and set payloadArr[4] directly

1.2 kΩ and for reference the other sig/gnd was about 20kΩ
Thanks. It works now. I realized that fetTemp is in 0.1 °C.
What do You think: Is this feature worth to distribute?
I can send You the code to publish it on the github.
Big thanks for the work on the Bremote and for this fantastic support
The emi/cat should be in the MOhm range…
Probably the optocoupler is broken, luckily there is a 2kd part on the PCB only used for the BMS detection.
If you don’t use this feature you can swap the part
Make sure to pay attention to pin1 location

It’s working again! Thanks so much, I will sleep well tonight knowing I can still use my tow boogie!

Happy to hear! Just to be clear, you swapped the optocoupler and this was indeed the fault?
