This is a guide to help our users to setup a 4WD with two Ubox V1. Ubox V1 was our first VESC product, designed in 2020. our design was not very thoughtful, it is not so convenient for build a 4WD. Thanks to our users, you are very positive about V1.
This guide descripts the configuration of 4WD with two Ubox V1 and Uni1 remote, based on newest FW 5.03 and VESC tool 3.01 PC edition.
Conception
To combine 2 Uboxes to build a 4WD, we need to set one of them as master, the other to slave. The master Ubox receives the remote’s control signal, relay the single to all the other ESCs through CAN bus.
For Ubox V1, there are two places to pay attention to:
The power on/off control
Ubox V1's power on is maintained by it's built-in 2.4GHz receiver, it's a MCU and 2.4GHz transceiver combo chip. It is only checks the power button to make its own power on/off decision. So we need to give button state to both two Uboxes.
We can parallel connection of two wires, the GND and switch of the button cable, into one button, to make one button to power on/off two Uboxes workable. Like in this picture:
Uni1 remote
If you coupled with Uni1 remote, the receiver inside Ubox will report back data to remote, and the master and slave Ubox share the same radio link channel, the slave Ubox's back report will confuse the radio link loop. So we need to de-bind the slave Ubox with remote. We can find de-binding in remote's setting menu->Receiver Config->Debinding.
The binding/de-binding procedure need to be careful: The receiver(Ubox) does binding/de-binding detect with in about 0.5 seconds every time after power on. So we need do binding master/de-binding slave independently, to avoid binding/de-binding two of them simultaneously.
