I just bought one Erayfoil remote, so I hope it gets here before the season ends. I will do a full review and post lots of pictures.

Although I do not need another remote, I could not find any reviews or proper information about this remote. Until a fully sealed waterproof remote at reasonable prices is introduced, the only solution is the Maytech, Flipsky and hopefully this Erayfoil remote will perform well and be another additional option for DIY Efoilerās.
Hey, Iāve just received vx3 but Iām having problrms setting it up with vesc. I have hgltech hi200 75/200 vesc.
I have conneted it to UART.
In vesc tools in input wizard on NRF input i see the reading from the remote but regardless of the reading it is either off or on 100%.
When I save configuration to app it stays the same.
Is it because thereās no load or Iām doing something wrong?
Is there any way to set it up to controll the rpm with no load?
Ok, managed.
In vesc tools I have reduced max A to motor to 5A and now the remote changes the motor speed accordingly with no load.
Iāll increase it back before wet test.
Are you running current control?
Yes, i donāt see another option in vesc tools (except off, current no reverse and current bidirectional)
There should be āduty cycle no reverseā as well which you can also use for bench testing without load.
thw VX3 have UART communication.
I switched between Duty Circle and Current Controll. With this Remote you see no differenceā¦
In app settings, general, App to use: UART, I canāt choose duty cycle under VESC remote
Receiver is connected on UART
Sorry, didnāt see that you are using uart mode. Might depend on the commands sent to the serial line by the receiver of the remote.
Any waterproofing recommendations for the FLipsky VX3? or is it sealed/potted better than the Maytech?
My Maytech V2 was working great, but didnāt last the whole season before the screen went out. I even did the extra waterproofing based on forum recommendations. Was really happy with the Maytech V2 remote until the screen died. It still worked and was able to ride for the days session but not comforting with the screen completely black.
also meant so say thanks to the early buyers/testers and providing the feedback.
You have this proven Maytech screen 10usd repair from @Jsonnett seen here:
The same causes will unfortunately produce the same effects: your new screen will die after a couple of months so you should order at least two spare screensā¦
So, i realy have problems to activate comfortable the Cruisecontroll from the VX3.
Often i push the button when i move on my foil and switch to other powermode and wondering why i not come out.
But when i need to push the button, i need to move my thumb on side and press the button with my other hand. On my last attempt I thought I had activated cruise control and when I took my finger off the gas, I fell because it was not activated.
So, how you guys activete it more better?
Thanks for the tip. After some disassembly and drying, the screen came back on for a little while. Now the remote is no longer working, completely dead. Iām thinking it is beyond repair at this point, at least for me.
Waiting on my vx3 to get here now. I decided to purchase through Amazon. Faster shipping to the US and better customer support (return/refunds) if this remote is not waterproof.

Some days before my vacation, I got the second VX3.
So, now the 4. day in Croatia and I must say, now the VX3 is perfect for me.
Much more better signal, I can start easy on the stomach of my short Mala, no problem.
Also the VX3 was delivered with the new 1.4 firmware.
I must say, Flipsky made with that series a good product!
Didnāt know there was V 1.4, what changes vs V1.2?

I need to build an adapter for the metr pro to be able to program through the VX3 receiver plug. Which kind of plug is used for the receiver? Is it JST micro? 1.5mm?
If you are talking about the connector on the VX 3 receiver, it is JST-SH 1.25. But impossible to find one for my part.
They send to europe at least.
