Vam Monaco Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 For those of you that don't know, my 2 month old RS19 C30 has been blinking for 2 weeks and no one, not even Gotway knows why. Today, I got the brilliant idea to calibrate this piece of shit with the Begode.app and the result? It tried to blow my ear drums out. The beep is so loud, that I had to run out of the room and hide in the closet. At this point, I have lost all faith in the safety of this janky wheel. I've opened it up and it's CLEAN. I've never rode in water, not even light rain. Any ideas before I throw this wheel out the window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) As many problems as you have with the new wheel (unfortunately), I think you should just get a new board. The error can hardly be anywhere else, and it seems like your board is just acting funky. I would replace it with a fresh one. Exactly because you cannot really trust your current board, as you said. Try to get your seller to send you a new board (or replacement wheel). Worst case, buy a new board yourself (but it really is your seller's job to fix this!!). If it works, the RS is such a nice wheel, so don't give up. The fun will last way longer than your current frustration.

alcatraz Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 My Tesla and MSX make the same noise when calibrating. I know it's odd but I assure you it's normal. You could disconnect the headlight if you don't want to replace the board. Wear a flashlight on your wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I believe the RS has a louder speaker because it's a much faster wheel. It's so you can hear the beeps through the wind noise at high speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCrow Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) The single continuous beep is part of the calibration process. That's normal. If you can't cycle through the headlight modes by pressing the power button a single time while the wheel is powered on then I would return the wheel since it's only 2 months old.

meepmeepmayer Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Shouldn't the (obnoxiously loud) calibration beep end at some point, though? I have it too, but not forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long beep is the signal that calibration is complete at this point you have to manually turn it off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe everything is good then? 10 minutes ago, BlueCrow said: If you can't cycle through the headlight modes by pressing the power button a single time while the wheel is powered on then I would return the wheel since it's only 2 months old. Good point. If this doesn't work, don't trust the board. But if it works, apparently everything is as it is supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
