This feature allows you to use your remote to set two persistent nose up and nose down angles. To reset the angle to zero you just push your throttle in the opposite direction for a moment.
- During long climbs or descents board angle is locked in to the appropriate value.
- More precise and controlled angle adjustments on single track than if you were to try to hold the throttle in position.
- Repeated sticky tilt values allows body position and muscle memory to become more ingrained.
- Integrated logic to prevent user error causing nose dives and tail dives on steep terrain.
When sticky tilt is enabled, it constantly monitors the remote throttle. When the throttle acts, the maximum throttle value is recorded before the throttle returns to center. Sticky tilt engages as the throttle reaches the center position if the throttle did not hit it's maximum value. This allows you to flick or quickly push the throttle in the direction you want to tilt. This action allows for quick and predictable engagement of sticky tilt value 1. Whether you push the throttle in the positive or negative direction determines if the board will nose up or nose down.
Once sticky tilt value 1 is activated, the angle can be increased to sticky tilt value 2 by performing the same throttle action. Performing the action once again will return to value 1 and so on.
If the throttle is push in the opposite direction from the throttle direction that engaged sticky tilt value 1 or 2, sticky tilt will immediately cease without waiting for the throttle to return to center. This allows for quick transitions. Sticky tilt will wait for the throttle to return to center before allowing sticky tilt to re-engage to avoid bouncing back and forth between positive and negative tilt.
Sticky tilt will not switch between values 1 and 2 if the motor is drawing more battery amps than the hold current specifies, and you are at the higher sticky tilt value. This helps to avoid nose dives and tail dives from user error.
If the throttle reaches max while pushing it in the direction of sticky tilt value, it will not switch sticky tilt values. This means that if you are going downhill at sticky value 6.0, and you want to throttle to max (i.e. 10) for a quick drop, you will then return to 6.0 when you throttle down, and not switch to 3.0.
Sticky tilt is persistent when you disengage and re-engage the board. I added this feature because it can be difficult to start back up after falling on a steep grade. Input tilt will not be persistent for any values other than the sticky tilt values. Input tilt will not be persistent if your remote turns off or loses communication.
Turns on and off sticky tilt.
Low value that will stick first when sticky tilt is activated.
A second sticky tilt value that will only engage after the first value has been activated.
If the current is above this value and sticky tilt value 2 is engaged, it will not switch to value 1 to avoid a tail/nosedive.
