How To Setup The Voyager Remote

Use the VESC Tool FW5.3 to connect to your ESC

Under the App settings -> General tab change the control mode to UART

Under the App settings -> UART tab set the baud rate is set to 115200

Under the App settings -> VESC Remote tab set the Control Type to Current and Use Smart Reverse to False

Apply the settings to the ESC by pressing the down arrow A. If you have any trouble writing the settings to the ESC, unplug the receiver.

Choose the correct cable depending if you have a V4 or V6 ESC

Carefully plug the cable into the receiver. There are two small blocks on the cable, they should face down and the pins should face up

Place the receiver inside the 3d printed housing. UPDATE: We now provide shrink wrap instead of the 3D printed housing.

Fill the gap with hot glue, and secure the connection from the cable to the plug with the hot glue.

Add hot glue to the connector that plugs into the VESC

UPDATED: If using shrink wrap, use a heat gun or hairdryer to shrink the wrap around the PCB. Be careful, too much heat will make the hot glue liquid again.

Adding hot glue to BOTH ends of the connector is very important

Turn the remote on by pressing and holding the power button (left)

Go into the settings menu by pressing and holding the settings button

Here is where you will customize the settings of the remote

Click ENTER (right button) to open the board parameter settings

Move the joystick up and down to select a setting you want to modify. Then click ENTER

Move the joystick up and down to adjust the value. Then press EXIT when the value is set properly

Adjust all of the settings in the Board Parameters Menu

Then click EXIT to return to the main menu. Navigate to the REMOTE CONFIG menu. Press ENTER

Navigate to the GEAR CALIBRATION setting. Press enter.

Apply full throttle (forward) and full brake (backward) to the joystick. Repeat to do this twice

Press and hold SAVE for two seconds

Ensure that the board / ESC is in the off position.

Navigate back to the RECEIVER CONFIG area. Press ENTER

Navigate to the BINDING setting. Press ENTER.

Plugin the receiver to the ESC UART port (or turn on the board if you are re-pairing the remote).

Remove the backing off of the gasket to stick the receiver box to the enclosure

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Do NOT place the receiver near any motor or battery wires. They can cause interference. Make sure the receiver is as far from any wires as possible.

As seen in the photo, the receiver is on the opposite side of the power and motor wires.
