We want to inform you that we have identified a packaging error in some of our BREmote V2 DIY Kits — a few kits were shipped with missing screws.
We sincerely apologise for this oversight. We have already prepared additional shipments with the missing screws, and they are on their way to you.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support. We appreciate you being part of our journey to make the best DIY eFoil solutions possible!
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@openfoil.com.
Thank you, I got a little bit further. With the USB cable connected, I was able to flash the firmware. I used V2_Integration_Rx.ino.merged.bin and offset 0x0 as recommended earlier in this topic. However after the flashing the remote did not show any signs of life. In the serial terminal it prints this:
I am not sure if I have a solution for that… You can try to use Arduino and compile the files yourself, by opening the project with Arduino, install libraries and upload… But I think easier is to get access to a Windows PC somewhere
Hi,
My Bremote is not working (no reaction on the screen)
I have 4.1V on the bottom PCB
The flat cable is correctly inserted.
I hear a sound when I plug to my computer
All the PCB were already welded, I only weld the battery. So I think the problem is not with the welds ?
just was about to finish my build and now i ran into this exact issue. I have set my throttle pwm to be between 1300 and 2000 ms (to stop my cooling pump from running without throttle). In the serial monitor it shows exactly 1300 - 2000. When i monitor the pwm signal in the vesc tool it shows ~ 1400 when i power up the system. When i connect the remote and set it to the highest gear i have a range between 1400 and 2000 and after a couple of seconds it drops to ~ 900 - 1600 ms. Would love to get the fix if possible.
I did a esptool --port /dev/cu.wchusbserial1440 write_flash 0x00000 V2_Integration_Tx.ino.merged.bin on Mac.
Ask ChatGPT about how to install esptool and adapt the device to your serial
Still waiting on my unit, but I tried to setup his unit with a friend.
Couple notes that would have saved us some time.
His board came without firmware installed, so unlike in the instructions the unit is pretty much dead until you upload the firmware.
Firmware upload does not seem to complete unless you attach the battery.
The process starts, but always ends with a transmission error.
Second part would have saved us an hour trying 4 PCs and 12 different USB ports.
That’s what you deserve, if you do not follow the instructions, I guess
Hi Ludwig,
first of all thank you so much for your great development efforts.
Im currently building the v2 via the openfoil kit.
After flashing the firmware i got the remote to show some life.
But somehow i cant get the on/off switch to work,
(The remote boots up when connected to usb, but never shuts of)
Does the switch need to be calibrated somehow aswell?
The main power switch can not be calibrated
Make sure there are no strong magnets close to the display area and double-check that the flex cable is properly inserted.
If you still can’t turn off the remote there is a fault on either top or bottom Tx PCB
In that case contact Jasmin for a replacement.
If possible send me a high-res photo of both PCBs.
Hi everybody, I fixed a bug in the Rx code, that, on some boards was messing with the generation of PWM Signals.
Please update the Rx with the newest firmware from GitHub. If you already have firmware running, use the file without “merged” in it and upload to 0x10000
The Tx does not need to be updated, but it also got a small update: If you set tog_block_time to 0, you can switch gears only right after power-up. As soon as you gave throttle once, the gears will be disabled until the next power cycle of the remote. This is nice if you want to choose a gear or power level before you session once and from then on just want to drive and steer.
was trying to calibrate my analog batt sens pin on the rx today. Is there any way to see the voltage measured by the rx other than on the tx display (no decimals there)?
Hello
I assembled my Brimote v2, it arrived ready wired, I installed the firmware because I had no display on the screen, after successfully installing the firmware, a display appeared “ECH” charger error, does anyone have a lead, thank you
