BREmote V2 - Open Source Remote

The price difference isn’t that big, 5 Euro per system at high quantities, and it has the best overall range and reliability

ESP Now has too little range
NRF24 has too many clones and counterfeits, a reliable source is equally as expensive as HT-CT

Hello, I assembled the remote kit, had some issues with the ribbon cable but it should work.

Is the remote already flashed in the kit? if not, could you share binaries and secreenshot of the flash tool config? thanks!

I have USB working and 3.3v on the top pcb pad when remote is on, but no LED and no connection to serial web tool.

If the PCBs arrive without firmware, please follow this video on how to upload the firmware at timestamp 39:45 min

Yes, found it in the meantime, thanks for quick reply.
I had some random vibration motor bussing on plugging of cable, will let you know when flashed

hello ludwig it is possible to add this part to the remote to the position of the remote for futur development of follow mode for tow boogie,


Module double mode GPS + BDS Beidou, navigateur de positionnement par satellite de contrôle de vol, remplacement ATGM336H

You can add this, but I would wait for @macfly1202 to finish his development on the follow me mode…
Does the module need 3.3 or 5V?

3,3v 25 ma continuous operation there is a good technical info on the description product

That’s good. Do you already have an idea where you want to place the module? How to integrate it in the remote housing? If you adapt the 3d model make sure not to place the module above/too close to the antenna on the front of the remote.

I tried to flash, without errors, but I seem to be missing the bootloader and partition table. I tried the arduino library bootloader, but I think it’s also missing a partition table?


I flashed the merged binary starting from address 0x0 . This worked for tx and rx.

Hi Ludwig,
I have two questions.
A)
Does the config string include the pairing information. Therefore if i restore a config, does it also restore the tx/rx pairing?
B)
Can I establish the pairing by defining the same own and destination address?

I am asking because I will pot the rx and will only have usb accessible afterwards.
Btw, really a great project!!
Looking forward for what comes up in the future! Nano, follow me, … :slight_smile:

A) Yes
B) Yes
In the config editor, the last 3 lines are the addresses and pairing valid indicator
There you can set and change adresses
They need to be 3 byte, written as hex representation. And obviously the dest_address of one device needs to be the own_address of the other and vice versa

it is so small it can be place in the handle next to the battery in the oposite of motor could you help to connect it on the tx i saw some pin as gnd ,tx, rx, and other connectic solution

Ok, but the GPS Antenna should be placed with a clear path to the sky for optimum performance…

To connect you can use the 3.3V, GND, G18 and G19 pins on TX. Also, you need to remove some components: R23, R24, D1 need to be removed.

It is alive :+1: pairs and steering input and throttle are correctly reported in the terminal.

How is the vibration motor supposed to work, only for low battery or also for menu confirmation ?

I have no vibrations, wondering if it is ok/how to test it.

Vibration motor is currently not used in software. Future versions will use the vibration motor when an alarm is present.

I have a issue with the new bremote.
After 13 seconds of full throttle the pwm signal goes down.
See the following video:

Any idea?

Can you please add the following information:
Which output of the Rx? ESC0 or 1?
Which control mode? Diff/Servo?
How is the Rx supplied with power? BEC? Which one?

Also, can you please connect to Rx, enter “?printPWM” and observe the numbers? They should represent the output signal. You can also do that on TX with a “?printInputs”. On TX you get a signal from 0 to 255 representing magnet readout.

i need some help with my setup. I am using a vesc and a beefy 12v servo. For the bremote v1 i just added the resistor to the rx and connected the signal wire of the servo to the rx and the power and ground directly to the 12v bec. When i do it like this for the v2 rx, the servo does not work. Does anyone has an idea how to make it work?
