Holy crap I just found this channel from 2 different topics by accident. This guy has a lot of info I need. Subscribitron commence
As usual, great videos my friend. :)
Is it safe? It does not have an external antenna, I wonder if any encasing will cause any interference?
Hello, great video, is that a standard wireless wii remote and you set it up with the BLDC tool? how often does it cut out and would the placement of the bluetooth receiver have any affect on this?
nice one!
thank you somuch
HI,
thank you for sharing the video. you think it would be possible to solder an external antenna to the nyko kama receiver?
I have no idea. I know some people are running custom hardware. I am looking into that and might work on something similar in the future. When I do I will post it here.
Yo, make more videos, you'd get soo many fans
Working on it. Sorry it's going slow. Anything you want to see?
cool way to make a compact remote. assuming i have a turnigy ESC, is there an option to pair the nunchuck to a retail RC receiver?
+danielwoozy Not that I know of.
Great Video. Can you do a video on how to configure the remote with reverse feature on the Vesc BLDC tool? This would be a great video of interest to the DIY community. Nobody has done any videos on this on youtube.
Joshua B I will put something together.
+Barnes'd Awesome, cant wait to see it!
This would help a lot instead of just swapping cables.
Hey quick Question, you can only use one speed controller for each motor or run 2 motors with one speed controller, Thanks
One speed controller for each. Pretty sure because of the position and timing of energizing the windings is different for both motors. Also if they were sensored they would have different readings. The VESC speaks over a CAN bus to sync. Hope that helps. Subscribe to see my new videos.
What's cost of the total price of all the components
I have an x-car 120A Brushless ESC because i was trying to make a budget build for my buddy as a challenge. I was looking at the JST connector and the wires go (Red, Black, White, green, Yellow, Orange). I was wondering if this build would work for my ESC as well, or if there was a way to make it work.
Donovan Stockwell You're better off using a GT2B style R/C remote. I don't think the wii remote will integrate with a car ESC. The VESC has special programming for it. Look at the GT2B or if it's too bulky there are some mods like the BadWolf GT2B Case mod.
Thank you so much! I think i will just make a case mod for one.. Thanks!!
do you think this mod would work just the same with a wired WII Nunchuck? i have the parts but i'm unsure how you programmed the VESC
k9wiREless The wired remote would be different. Setting up the VESC is pretty simple. Go to the App Configuration Tab and General sub-tab select nunchuk. Then you can access the specific settings on the nunchuk sub-tab. I might make a video on this.
where did you get your jst connector and what size?
There is a link in the description to the one I used. On the VESC there is a 7 pin connector there if you want to use the other pins, but not needed for this. 5, 6 or 7 pin JST 2.0 will working since only 4 wires are needed and a space between them. Subscribe for more videos.
I did this a while ago, but it has never been reliable, signal drops in and out. are you sure the white wire is not supposed to be used for anything?
Haven’t touched it since I made this video. It is still working well. Is there anything that could be blocking the signal? Make sure it isn’t surrounded by metal.
great video however, why didnt you simply connect the connector's wires straight to the pcb?
Classlessrook32 didn't want to desolder anything off the board to minimize messing something up.
Barnes'd thats fair
The whole construction of the board.
Hi, I recently got my nyko kama controller to work. However, I have this problem where my controller just turns off while I am riding. Did you happen to have this problem?
Paul Lee Does the light on the remote go off? Does the receiver light go off or blink fast?
The light on the remote turns off. Reconnects as soon i turn it back on
Paul Lee Hmm. I've had it lose connection before but not just turn off. Double check your batteries and that they aren't losing connection somehow. Does it also do this during a bench test?
I've never had it happen during a bench test. Only when there is a load/resistance.
Haha I'm just curious about how the receiver and remote could lose connection under a load. I wonder what the physics is behind this
Why do ppl use extra boards to attach the wii receiver to the vesc? Are you missing out on any features by connecting your controller the way you do in this video?
SaysSim0n I'm not sure. Maybe they don't know how to solder. One reason I made this video was I couldn't find any info on taking the thing apart. It works exactly the same like this.
I read allot about random cutouts when accelerating and braking. Do you also experience them? I dont have a working build yet so Im dependent on ppls experiances...
SaysSim0n I do have some occasional issues so I won't say it's flawless, but after reading about some of the "better" remotes a lot of them have issues. I have over 150 miles on this one and it hasn't been enough of a problem to switch. GT2B and a aftermarket enclosure is probably the most reliable. I have all the parts here to build a custom remote and hope to get to it soon. My ideal remote has good connectivity and data readout with ESC info. I just need to build it.
Nyko remotes drop out under high load. Most likely em interference. Nothing I've tried fixes it. Moving on.
i bought a Wii transmitter but what i got, does not have the wires connected to the usb connector. instead, it has the usb connected directly to the chip, so i don't know wich points should i connect each Wire, because in my case, i have 2 rows with 3 points of connection each. can you help me?
Is it a Nyco Kama?
no. i bought a different one cheaper, hopping that it would be simillar to that. the chip contains the same but there is no wires... it's mounted directly into the chip
You should probable be able to desolder it and solder wires on. Do you have a multimeter? You can check continuity between the plug and where it's soldered to the board to determine which pins to use. Here is a diagram I found defining the plugs pins. Just need to align those with the board side to know which holes on the PCB to use: www.electric-skateboard.builders/uploads/db1493/original/1X/a5cebf02b5022f8c5d7da7ab4bf471bcb4f80641.jpg
ok. thanks . good help. i think now i can do it with no problems! 😉
another question. whi did you connected the jst 6 pin female connector to the 7 pin entrance on the vesc, instead to the 6 pin entrance?
The blue light on the wii don’t stay any solution
Usually doesn't stay on until the controller is paired.
@@barnes_specialty It’s not getting paired. What could be the issue. Used to work properly the set up is same as yours. Been using it for 5 years +
great video!!
how it ended up, is it working?
how do you think, will it wokr with these esc?

Works pretty well, but does occasionally drop the signal. No it will not work with that ESC. Only the VESC. You would need a standard RC receiver and GT2B or similar. VESC is around the same price from enertion, but they are still catching up on shipments.
thanks, drop signal on high speed sounds not good)
When it happens it is very brief. It can be annoying, but is mostly affected by the placement of the receiver. I have the VESC set to coast under loss of signal so it doesn't cause any real problems. I cruise at 25+ mph.
