Once transmitter and receiver are powered on and bound properly you should see the rx battery bar graph. There are 2 settings in the menu. One for number of lipo cells (mine on 12s) and one for nominal voltage per cell (3.7 for lipo).
I think the battery ground needs to be connected to the rx input ground wire to work. In other words they need to share the same ground.
Verify that you are getting full battery voltage to the location where you soldered to the 42v input.
I think the problem is that we charge our batteries to 4.2 volts per cell, but the remote only recognises 3.2 or 3.7 volts. I have found no way to make it display full charge at 50 volts and empty at around 42 volts.
Yes, you can have a large smartphone screen or a large browser page to perform the initial setup + you can use a ASCII configuration file of sbdy else…
@Eileen what do you think ?

I got the function button and reciever to work. Thank you. The function button must be needed to be pressed a few times before it works. Most likely because it is new from the factory.
