VESC PPM settings

aight ill try it when i get home tonight, thank you man i hope thats it what bothers me the most is the board taking out when i turn transmitter off, the throttle im kind of use to already since i been riding like that since i put it together a month ago, and ya know first build u just want to wrap it up asap and go skate

If you adjust the PWM on the remote you have to rebind to set neutral on the receiver. I had similar result when I adjusted without rebinding. Turning off remote = throttle forward.

i hope u are online tonight just in case i need help!

i’m on this forum almost 24/7

hahahahahahaha i know theres a few like us @Michaelinvegas is one of them

I’m thinking my steez remote might be able to benefit from a ppm setting but not sure if anything more can be done. Anyone experience bad brakes wi the steez? I don’t mean weak brakes, what happens is there’s no modulation possible, as soon as I put on half brakes there’s no going back to quarter brakes I have to release the brakes and then put them back on to get to quarter brakes. I’ve already adjusted them in Ppm and it’s seeming a steez flaw

You’ve adjust the min/max PWM signal?

The gt2b has the fail safe on the receiver it’s a button. You can check in bldc tool by turning off your remote and make sure it goes to 50%. Also make sure that your remote doesn’t go below the minimum ppm or you’ll lose brakes when you need it the most I superglued a plastic to stop the trigger where it goes to 0%.

mmmmm trying to visualize what ur saying here

Yea I adjusted myself and had evoheyax do it also. He said its just how the steez works unfortunately and he has the same problem. Wondering if anything can be done or if anyone else has this prob

Adjust throttle trim on the remote till you get 50% in bldc tool. Then hold the fail safe button on the receiver. Now when you turn off the remote it should remain at 50%.

Ya of course @NNGG,

I don’t do any USTA tournaments anymore, but play year round, and enjoy my school season the most by far-

Haha the only reason I built an eboard was to get to where I play tennis after school (about 2.5 miles away) and be able to get there and back with zero effort. It sucks biking home after not being able to feel your legs… Lol.

I was in your exact same position when I was in high school, except I loved to mountain bike to school and tennis through my backyard canyon that eventually lead to my high school. I didnt build an esk8 back then because I was having so much fun with building rc airplanes :grin:

Rc cars -> eboards

This was me

Rc airplanes were always king for me. Back when Ni-cad was supreme

I have to many rc cars that I don’t use anymore because e board took over

Holy resurrected threads Batman!! I have some PPM issues. When I change the min and max pulswidth then the resting position is nowhere near 50% it usually sits around 63% or so. If I adjust the knob on the remote to change it down to about 50% then full throttle goes to about 85% when its at full. I have the GT2B transmitter with dual VESC. Is there a way to adjust the actual transmitter for it to sit at proper 50% neutral? Also when i test the remote connect failure by turning off my remote the motors go to like 3/4 power. At first I thought it was because i was still plugged into the computer but after the VESC were unplugged from there it still goes to full speed. I tried changing the brake setting for the timeout but that did nothing. I hope this makes sense and thanks if anyone can help me out.` Edit: I just opened my transmitter and tried messing with the 2 white potentiometers and that didn’t do anything different that the knob i already tried messing with. if i adjust to 50% then full throttle is less than 100%.

If you’re using a modded case you need to limit trigger brake travel physically. Your min an max pulsewidth values need to be close to 1 and 2. Then you be able to set failsafe properly

Any recommendations for doing that? Pictures? All I can think of is filling in the opening a little with JB Weld and then filing it down to make it the right sizes.

That’s pretty much what I did, I used steelstik jb weld then just black marker. A little sloppy but you can’t really tell. You pretty much want it even with the case. Also it will be more comfortable because your finger doesn’t have to bend as much to get to the max brakes.
