PWM connection for a remote

Hello there,

 

I am new to setting up vesc and testing it. I am using a simple LED dimmer: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-SPIGHTDEX-Channel-Wireless-Control/dp/....

I am trying to use this remote to control the speed of the motor. I have connector a resistor across the LED output and the negative of the LED output is connected to the Servo of the PPM section. I am powering the led controller using the 5V and GND on the PPM section. I am having trouble with the speed changes, as in when I hit the button the LEd controller does not respond to a first few button press but later on I am able to change the speed. To add to this issue, there are 10 steps which the controller allows me to change, but only 4 of them enables and chnages the speed on the motor, the rest of them do nothing. Is there a reason why I am unable to use all the steps from the remote to control the speed?

Is there something that I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
