If this was possible then reverse is going back in my buggy (exept for competitions) and i think everybody would happy, bashers to!
I think it would be cumbersome to have to blipp the reverse 4 times to get reverse.
Taken from HobbyWing's ESC manual:
When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the first time (The 1st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The “Double-Click” method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
Obviously this is not working now, hope Michael can solve this.
The delay option is compatible with the spinning monitoring, and even it could be a temporally fix. I prefer to click 4 times or wait 5 seconds to enter reverse (because reverse is only used in exceptionally situations) than destroying my drivetrain every time I brake twice.
Thanks a lot Angelo for passing this to Michael. Your help is appreciated. Keep the good job!
