    Make emergency manual actioner for e-board

    You have a few options: -Get a lipo to usb charger, something like: http://www.banggood.com/G_T_Power-Portable-Battery-Charger-2-6S-Lipo-to-USB-Charger-p-976493.html Have it wired to something like this...

    Custom laser cut deck idea

    Don't worry, the reason I post is to get a different view. Giving the deck a concave would be a bit hard with the tools I have at hand. Might be able to get some marine ply and if I double the thickness of the board, maybe add a few layers of epoxy and fiberglass it might be rigid enough. As...

    Custom laser cut deck idea

    A few months ago bought all the electronics for a skateboard, now I need a deck. Got access to a laser cutter so I'm going to build a custom deck. I'll be using 3mm plywood, unless you have something better to suggest (it's safe to use in the laser and free). The deck is 12mm thick (same as...

    FVT Settings and cogging issues - Fixed, solutions & stuff.

    I've tried every order I can think off and still nothing. My previous FVT ESC went up in a puff of smoke but the chances of receiving another dud are pretty slim. I'm guessing maybe when I plugged my broken ESC into the programming card it damaged it somehow ? (even though the receiver seems...

    FVT Settings and cogging issues - Fixed, solutions & stuff.

    I've been trying with the PC but no luck, the ESC is stuck in Forwards only. Tired every possible combination of plugging/unplugging/rebooting and still nothing. I don't mind getting a USB programmer off ebay (well expect for the delay and more money) but no guarantee it will work. I'll try...

    FVT Settings and cogging issues - Fixed, solutions & stuff.

    I know this is a bit of an old thread but will try my luck. I'm having the same issues as described by Tamatoa: the ESC programming card for a FVT 120A ESC is only displaying the software version. Tried plugging it into the PC and programming it using that but no luck. The software will...

    How-To: Anti-Spark XT-90 Loop Key

    Not really. The XT90 connectors used for this have a resistor built in (under the green bit). That resistor prevents the spark.

    A simple inline meter to read 8S/32v power like gas gauge

    I know the title is for 8S setups so this one won't work but will still share some info. Bought this LCD Battery Capacity Tester Indicator for 12/24V Lead-acid Lithium LiPo Battery. Just tested it out using a variable voltage power supply and the reading seems close enough (set to work with a...

    How-To: GT2B --> Badwolf v2

    Between the center pin and the two outer pins. Center one is signal pin, for the outside ones, one is V+ (pobably 5v) and the other ground. So both resistor attach to the center pin and one each to the outside pins.

    A simple inline meter to read 8S/32v power like gas gauge

    11% is a rather big difference between the two panels. Is there maybe a trimpot somewhere to adjust it? (other than the buttons to select modes) Would be interesting to hook it up to a variable voltage power supply and see what it reads compared to a set cell count, like what voltage is...

    Part selection for my first board

    Hi guys, one last question, about the deck. I want something portable, longboard decks are a bit big so I was wondering if putting the parts on a regular skateboard deck would be okay? (might need risers) Ideally I'd like somewhere around 25 inches.

    Part selection for my first board

    Did some calculations on what speeds should I expect using the excel file from here. According to that I could reach 22 km/h using the 16 teeth pulley and 17 km/h using the 12 teeth pulley. Took the bicycle out and 22 seems like plenty. Since the shopping list is set, I'll start ordering parts...

    Part selection for my first board

    Well since I'm going with a 6S setup I plan on connecting the two 3S batteries in series and forgetting about it. I plan on using this: Twin pack charge lead (2 x 3S)6S w/ XT60 It will be used purely to charge the batteries. If I decide to add more cells in the future then yeah a parallel board...

    Part selection for my first board

    Don't know about cool but definitely isn't a bad place to live. I'd love to but don't have the space for it. I do have a 3d printer so could print a battery holder/case if I can't find something that fits.

    Part selection for my first board

    I saw that and it looked nice but the welded option is more attractive at the moment since it comes with wheels and trucks. I don't have a skateboard so getting everything in one place is more practical. I'd love to do that but no space (apartment). Found some project boxes online for a few...

    Part selection for my first board

    Thanks but with international shipping and import taxes it comes to a fair bit more than the one from aliendrivesystems.

    Part selection for my first board

    I plan on using an XT90 anti spark connector as a loop key, the power switch on your site would be a nicer touch but I'll save that for the next version. Yeah I have the programming card bookmarked as well.

    Part selection for my first board

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of building an electric skateboard. Done a bit of research (huge thanks to this forum) but as this is my first I could use some input/tips. The board will be used on mostly flat city streets. I'm going for a single motor 6S setup as it seems to be the most common. I'm...
