Did you test reception through carbon fiber?
Im in the process of building my board.
Would it be wise to incorporate antena wire in the board (maybe around the edge prior to putting CF). I don’t know will 433 Mhz penetrate CF.
Which antena wire would you recomend?
It easily penetrats carbon. No need for a long antenna.
Hi Felix,
when you say it will get complete vesc support, does that mean in updated firmware or we have to buy another device?
Hi Felix
When will the remote be for sale? Do you have an estimate?
Hi Guys,
I know I didn’t update you frequently however, a lot of things have happened in the background. I am very proud of how well the test phase worked. Unfortunately, I don’t want to give out too much information just now. All I can say is, that a v2 is in progress. Many improvements and a new overall shape is in progress. As I don’t want to deliver anymore protypes, you will have to wait till I can deliver the offical version. It will be affordable and it will have an app & logging function. There will be a vesc and a normal esc version.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
Best regards
Felix

I was able to get my hands on a FERO remote @Felixfoiler felixremote.com. When the opportunity came up I decided to get the GPS version and It wasn’t cheap €280. Wow! Right!
So what did I get? Out of the box it is completely waterproof, great ergonomic design, bright screen, easy to set up and very good instructions. I hooked it up to PPM the first ride and it had great reception. Great reception!! No extension for the antennae. I plugged it in, calibrated it and it worked perfectly!
The receiver is the most professional I have seen yet.
With the GPS the speed was clearly visible on the remote. I am using a @WavRX WavRX ilogger wavRX.com that has a CAN connection and input from a GPS. Since the FeRo receiver has a built in GPS and two small TX and RX output pads. I attached the yellow and black wires from my GPS input on the WavRX to the outputs on the FeRo receiver. Im logging my rides without carrying my phone and it works great.

Video of the remote in use, very clear and bright screen.
Great to see the new version works and that it is a real waterproof 2.4ghz.
Happy to see that FeRo did correct when he developed The product and put hold on his deliveries when he got problem with 433 Mhz path.
Good work Felix 
Where is that lake? Looks great…
Hi,
Just wondered have people received the units that were pre ordered and any feedback?
Thanks
Chris.
Hi there,
I preorderd the FeRo in december and recevied my FeRo about 3 weeks ago. Everything fine, the remote has a very good feel and inuitive operation. Worked as expected out of the box. But havn’t used it on the water till now. Expect to be ready for the water next week.
Ive received mine 2 Weeks ago, don’t test it till now.
But it looks great and fits perfectly in my hand.
Perfect work 
Thank you Felix, I already have him at home. I really like that the driver floats. I also appreciate the choice of gas driving modes, it will be great for teaching my son on efoil. Beautiful, quality and honest work. thank you, thank you, thank you
How beautifully he swims!
The remote will be soon in stock again at the mid-end of June. The design has been updated a bit.
Best regards

Hi Team FeRo,
I just received my remote and it looks great. During the setup, the remote got stuck in a menu and has restart by itself. Since that, the remote keep restarting every 10-15 seconds and I don’t find any way (buttons combination) to stop it or reset it. Do you have any idea what is the problem?

Thank-you!
Hi CreaN
We are aware of that issue and it has been fixed in the latest software version v2.2 which has fixed the issue 1 month ago. It’s an overheating protection that has been set way too low.
There are 2 ways to get it out of the boot loop:
Download the Fero App for ios and android: felixremote.com
After that you can go into the menu Updating and wait until it says ready to update.
Now connect with the app and update. This will get rid of the issue. While updating keep the remote at a cool place so it doesn’t trigger the overheating protection while updating. This would stop the update and you would need to start again.
Best regards
Team FeRo
