Aside from that, using Gitpod makes it very easy to modify code. Including that, I'm planning to post OLED mods on my blog, but unfortunately my PC is currently broken and I can't work on them properly.
I plan to post it within the next few days, so please wait until then. How about learning about Gitpod in the meantime?

ok thank you!

It shows hugely different results than your findings. It shows an average latency of 4.1 ms with a standard deviation of 0.730 ms. And this results are from the Sanwa M12 NOT M12S or even the Sanwa M17.

i dont think i can tell much difference in radios as for as latency on my home track. i have spectrum, team associated, duratrax rtr radios and flysky gt3c, sanwa mx-6 and they all feel the same to me as for as latency. but i can definitely tell a difference in servos. i think on low traction tracks like mine its not going to matter much. if i was Ryan Maifield then i could probably use my flysky gt3c and beat most people with a sanwa m17.

I posted the process of MT12 OLED_mod on my blog. Please take a look if you are interested. I don't think you can read the text, but I think you can understand what I'm doing just by looking at the photos and pictures.

I have attached the MT12 OLED version firmware that I am using, but I recommend that you self-build it using Gitpod.

You do mention all low spec radio's... You will feel a difference if you take a radio with a faster response.
Difference in servo's.... Of course you will notice a difference between a 0.15 sec and a 0.06 sec servo. Also the low budget 15 dollar Amazon servo's have a huge latency apart from the slow speed.

servos make the most difference radios the least. even low spec traxxas radios have pretty decent latency according to some youtube videos. i dont think going from 20ms to 5ms is going to matter much especially when you get 50 like me..lol. i just race at home with friends and grandkids so not gonna spend 500 on a radio to get 15ms faster.

It all comes in the total package. With bashing on some large surface you will not notice a thing, racing high speed cars on a tight track you will notice any improvement of the car, servp and transmitter.The freamerate latency is the worse. With a frame of 20msec you do not have a steady 20msec but a variable 0-20msec. That can make you to get the apex right, fly over the dot or crash into the outside barrier. There is no building up of a rithm to drive with but more like a continuous correction.

trust me you wont know much of a difference on loose dirt. my track is not some carpet track or glued clay thats like pavement. it takes tons of throttle control on my tight loose track and i do get in a rhythm on my track. its about geting use to how your car feels and runs. i have slower servo cars and can still get good times with it after some practice laps. faster servos and radios is not going to make you a pro racer. practice can and does. years ago racers only had slow servos and radios. they were great racers still some of the best.

Trust me, I do know. When we have wet conditions there is also no grip with sliding cars all over the track, lucky I know how to drift.

dirt drifting is fun.:nod:

anyone know if it will bind with team associated receivers? or what protocol team associated uses?

estill 01-26-2024 11:23 AM

In the receiver configuration (ER5C-i), there is the option to output on/off. Can I drive a pair of LED's off the signal pin? I can't find any documentation on it other than "switch on/off."

Do people unplug the li ions from the transmitter, like lipos, or can you just leave it plugged into the radio and charge when you need it?

i leave mine plugged in. i dont see any reason to unplug it. i use the radiomaster 5000mah li ion battery pack.

Will 4in1 works with Spektrum DSMR receivers?
