Super happy to see! I am impressed by your dedication.
Is it possible for you to share plans for the near future? Like are there plans for similar DIY kits as with V1? Or for us who are eager to build one, it is better to order circuitboards, componenwts etc ourself?
@ludwig_bre …I really do think its all.of us who should be thanking you!!!..really excellent development here…so…thank you !
nice, i will order one right now.
what can we do with the GPS module ?? i didn’t get it …
thank’s again
GPS can be used to show the speed you are going at on the display of the remote as well as log you rides, similar to a metr. module
ok thanks,
for the antenna, i have already a 868mhz classic 10$ stick … should we expect more range with the one in the kit ? how many dB is it ? usualy short one have excellent short range (even obstructed), longuer one beter 'long range" if no obsticles.
for the uk what version do we need to get US or EU ?
Hard to say without knowing the exact antenna you have. Probably it will be fine and you don’t need to buy a new one.
For UK choose EU 868MHz version
Just a small heads up to all who are printing the parts: Make sure there is no support in the tiny hole of the top part. I think i have to reprint mine because i could not get it out.
Did you use the pre-sliced files for Bambu studio? There I already put a support blocker exactly for that reason…
In the beginning I had this problem too. You can try to use a small drill bit to clear the hole and force the screw in afterwards, for me that still worked.
I am not sure I found a list of what exactly is included in the kit, do you have the list?
I checked on the github BOM files, but those seem to cover mostly the PCB themself;
Already ordered the kit, just want to know what to expect and need to order separately, like USB, antenna…
Thanks!
The kit should include everything you need, except:
It includes a basic antenna for the Rx, good for a few hundred meters.
It does not include a GPS module for the Rx, you can choose that separately as well as a BEC module in case you have ESCs without built-in BECs.
Maybe @JasminRM can post a list of what is included in the kit exactly
I opened the 3mf in orca slicer which gave me some warning messages. Then i had trust issues and sliced all by myself.
I have all the parts now. Already feels great in the hand. Cant wait to test it out.
Do you think the receiver will work direcly off a li ion (18650 ie) cell?
You just use a voltage regulator from 5v to 3.3v, right?
That way I could eliminate BEC’s by replacing with a simple 18650.
While I would definitely recommend the BEC module, which I developed exactly for that purpose, theoretically you can use 18650 cells. Just be aware that the output voltage for the servo signal is generated from this voltage too, and your ESC may or may not work with a 3…4.2V signal voltage.
Also the Rx is only tested with a stable supply voltage of 5V, so I can not guarantee it will work at voltages lower than that. 4V may work, 3.5V will probably be too low already. If you use a GPS module you definitely need 5V.
Hi everybody,
I have just finished the instructional Video on the V2
It includes the basic function and how to use the remote as well as how to configure and update software.
See here:
Also again, all other information can be found at the github page:
Ready for the kit to arrive
Looking good!
I originally had the trigger spring printed - and you still can, I can share the file if you want. It’s a drop in replacement .
What I noticed with the printed spring: No matter which material I chose, after some time under constant tension the spring loses it’s force and the trigger becomes weak… the toggle does not have that problem as it usually is under no tension in idle position.
Any STL files for a Rx Box including BEC, or plans to design one? I’m happy to volunteer to do that but don’t want to double up if it’s already done.
