It has several pre-configured screens that you can quickly change from the central encoder.
It also has several LEDs that indicate the status of some functions: Radio link, Radio, Wifi, Battery charging status, etc.
You can assign any (Buttons and Switches) to specific RC channels of the XLRS receiver which will allow you to completely customize your control experience, adapting it to your needs and preferences for each specific vehicle.
Customizable objects: 4 Buttons, 2 Switches with 2 positions, 1 Switch with 3 positions and 2 GamePad Joysticks.
*All the configurations are made in the receiver from the PC using the DMDStudio software, so the configuration of the assignments, mixtures, etc, are in each receiver (Vehicle), you can have several vehicles with different functions and use the same XPAD1 remote controller.
XPAD1 is small, robust and minimalist, it has the necessary buttons, switches and joysticks to implement them in different types of functions depending on the vehicle.
It has two miniJoysticks similar to those of gamepads, they are prepared to control any type of vehicle, such as drones or also cars, boats, robots, airplanes… that need progressive acceleration.
The box has an ergonomic design to fit correctly in the hands as it has two small grips on the sides.
The cover and back are made of 3mm aluminum painted in black epoxy, it also has some plastic and methacrylate parts.
XPAD1 Weight: 450g (With 5dBi omnidirectional antenna and without support).
It incorporates a 3.7V/5000mAh LiPo battery, which has a protection circuit to prevent over-consumption, low and high voltage, as well as charging current control.
Approximate duration of 10 hours of continuous use, you can also continue working with the XPAD1 while charging the battery with USB.
