Hi guys sorry but I have used the search functions and gone through many topics.
I have built the Firefly remote by SOLIDGEEK and it is connected to the FOCBOX. I have configured the focbox to the best of my ability with Ackmaniac esc_tool. I get the motor to spin up and brake but get no telemetry for voltage or speed etc. The only telemetry that works is when I turn off the receiver the wifi icon on remote starts flashing(don’t know if that is telemetry). I have not touched the coding as I am not shore if anything needs to be changed.
I have included some screanshots, not shore if those settings are right as they are standard.
On the remote I have it set to ppm and uart and I have the tx and rx pins populated on the focbox, and yes I have even tried reversing the wires but still no go.
I am using the nRF24-Esk8-Remote-development code.
I don’t expect to be spoon fed but if someone could kindly point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Regards Pete
I would try standard vesc tool first to see if it is working at all. Development branch has solidgeeks modified library and he noted that in order to get telemetry you need to upgrade your fw to 3.40. I can confirm it doesn’t work with 3.38. Don’t forget to match your baudrate and it should be good.
Thanks Zyb I will check my firmware, I downloaded ackmaniac’s tool yesterday and flashed it with the default few as I was not shore what the other ones were. With baudrate you mean setting it in Ackmaniac vesc tool?
Thank you for the information I appreciate it.
Try setting the baud rate to 115200, I don’t remember if that’s correct but worth a try. Also make sure you’re using the correct vesc utiities version for your vesc. I’m unsure if the vesc6 utilities is backwards compatible with 4.*. Last resort is to check your soldering I suppose…
