3. Einrichtungsanweisungen

3.1 Empfängeranschluss

The VX1 remote comes with a receiver. Ensure correct connection to your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to prevent damage.

• Carefully check the receiver connection diagram corresponding to your specific FSESC (VESC4, VESC6, or Non-VESC). Incorrect wiring can damage the receiver.
• The variants (for VESC4/for VESC6/For Non VESC) only differ in receiver cables; the remote itself is the same.
• When using UART mode connection for the VX1 remote receiver, perform the connection nach programming in VESC tool. This prevents interference with the programming process. In UART mode, no further remote adjustments are needed.

3.2 Pairing the Remote with Receiver(s)

Follow these steps to pair your VX1 remote with one or more receivers. This process ensures the remote and receiver communicate correctly.

1. Fernbedienung einschalten: Drücken Sie den Netzschalter 1 Sekunde lang.
2. Kopplungsmodus aktivieren: Press the two small buttons on the remote simultaneously until the remote vibrates and the red LED blinks.
3. Power on the Skateboard/Receiver: Ensure the skateboard is powered off. Move the remote close to the receiver (within 0.3m). Power on the skateboard.
4. Kopplung bestätigen: The signal light on the remote should stay solid green, and the receiver should show a solid blue LED after successful pairing.
5. For Multiple Receivers (Dual Motor Setup):
   1. Remove the first paired receiver.
   2. Repeat the pairing process (steps 1-4) for the second receiver.
   3. After both receivers are paired individually, connect both to check their status. Ensure both have solid blue LEDs.
6. PPM Input Setup (using VESC Tool):
   1. Unplug one receiver.
   2. Connect to VESC Tool and click "AutoConnect".
   3. Go to "App Setup Wizard" and select "Setup Input".
   4. Choose "PPM input, such as conventional RC receivers".
   5. Pull/push the throttle on the remote to its maximum and minimum positions. Click "Apply" to map the pulse length.
   6. Choose the desired control type (e.g., "Current No Reverse With Brake").
   7. Click "Write Configuration To Vesc" and then "Finish".
   8. Repeat the PPM input setup for the other receiver.
7. Abschlusstest: Connect both receivers and test them simultaneously with the remote to ensure synchronized operation.

4. Bedienungsanleitung

The VX1 remote offers intuitive control over your electric skateboard.

4.1 Ein-/Ausschalten

• Einschalten: Press the power button for approximately 1 second. The green LED will light up.
• Ausschalten: Press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds. The red LEDs will flash before turning off.

4.2 Geschwindigkeitsmodi

The remote supports 3 speed modes. Use the speed switching button to cycle through them, indicated by the speed mode indication lights.

4.3 Tempomat

Activate cruise control mode for consistent speed without holding the throttle. Refer to your ESC's documentation for specific activation methods if not controlled directly by the remote.

4.4 Batterieanzeige

The remote features indication lights for both the remote's battery volume and the e-skateboard's power level, allowing you to monitor power status during use.

4.5 Rückwärtssteuerung

To engage reverse, apply full brake and then briefly press the pairing button. The remote will vibrate, and the wheels will spin in reverse. This function requires the remote receiver to communicate with the VESC using UART.

5. Wartung
