I really like the mantafoil remote, big color screen with many feature. They sell the receiver and remote. I wonder if i could just use it with any vesc for efoil/jetboard build? Appreciate your input and maybe suggestion for similar remote?
Thanks

It needs a vesc.
there is no sense to use pwm as you won’t get any telemetry data and then the remote would be overkill.

I’m not sure about the detail. Can I just use it with any VESC (like the one from flipsky or maytech) ? That’s my only question. thank you

To be honest, after a while you don’t look at the display any more.

What connections does the receiver got?
Here is the link to the remote, mantafoil says it is usable for vesc.

> Hello guys… After a year using the well known maytech remote i finally finalized (almost) my own Mantafoils remote control. It is vesc compatible, has GPS, accelerometer, sd card for log and is wireless charging and last but not least it floats. It will soon be available with it’s compatible receiver. I still have to implement lots of functions and will list them down at some point in time slight_smile That the remote we will be selling with our volt efoils.

Yes works with any voltage main battery as the 5v power to the receiver comes from the VESC.
I’m not using the receiver any more as I built my own receiver board from scratch with a GPS and steering etc for the Boogie.

Hi all,
Same question again.
I am using an MGM Compro ESC. So no VESC with the VESC typical connection. As far as I know there are a lot of differences in the MGM protocol compared to the VESC one.
So to start, I would just like to use the Mantafoil Remote with the Receiver and my MGM ESC.
And this just via PWM. Plus GND and Singal.
Is this possible? I will look into the protocol after the season.
Thanks a lot, Fabian

Hello guys 🙂
After successfully trying it out with a few customers, we are now officially offering the new Manta remote to DIY builders. This is the remote we offer for the TakeOff Foil assist, and our eFoils. It was fully upgraded this summer 2024 for the TakeOff.
It is available with a standalone receiver that provides VESC connectivity (VCC, GND, TX, RX, PPM). PPM signal can be used for throttle or steering servo for a tow boogie (configurable in the remote’s menu). Battery voltage display is supported: 12s and 14s.
The remote is on our Store in the TakeOff accessories’ section:
[https://www.mantafoils.com/online-store/Manta-Remote-p693402835](https://www.mantafoils.com/online-store/Manta-Remote-p693402835)
Select the optional receiver when ordering the remote at the top right of the page.
Write to us at sales at [mantafoils.com](http://mantafoils.com) would you have any questions 🤙
Cheers!
Thomas & Renaud
