Is a vid available yet? What size dinse connector does it use?

So I found the issue. It was a broken solder on that balance wire that was surrounded by heat shrink, so I couldn't tell the solder was broken, and that heat shrink SOMETIMES helped keep the connection. So when I tried to probe with the multi, the connection was fine, but as soon as I put the...

Can anyone explain this? The app and the BMS itself is claiming that the 11th series battery is 0.1V and that the 10th is 4.9v. This is patently false because I checked each series with my multimeter and every battery is roughly 4v. And we also can tell that the 10th and 11th series voltage is...

So I think I figured it out. I basically need to make the wheel axle move inwards/backwards, with respect to the steering axis. As it stands, the wheel axle is offset forward from the steering axis, and any forward offset from the steering axis decreases trail: As you can see from this...

So I've custom modified a scooter similar to this: to go about 50mph. However, at those speeds the steering is extremely sensitive. I feel I need to have an extremely careful and firm grip so I don't twitch in the slightest otherwise I could crash. For stability at high speeds, I need more...

Florian, Can you post larger pictures of the boost internals? The small pics are kind of hard to see the details :D

I didn't get a PM either?

I would like at least 2 brackets. Let me know when they're available

Did you wiring everything, including battery leads? I had the same problem when I just plugged in my balance wires, but didn't wire up my main battery leads.

Yeah, then you're going to have to upgrade the electronics - battery/controller/motor. You might be able to squeeze more out of the motor, so at least controller/battery. You will probably want to overvolt, to 48v, (at current gearing, will give you same torque but more top end) which means...

I think your math is correct, but there's no way you're going to hit 35mph on a 500w motor.

The only thing that doesn't require new electronics is to change out the sprockets. You basically change gearing, so you sacrifice acceleration to get more top end, and vice versa, like a bicycle.

That error looks like its because it couldn't open the output file for some reason. What is the full path to your project and project name? What version of matlab do you have? Are you using windows or linux? fusion360 support is going to take a while, if I even try to do it.

I've made a little bit of progress. I looked in the openprop source and found a parameter to output rhino3d and solidworks macros and I was able to hack the code so that those files are now created from the GUI. However, it looks like the macros are old and some of the commands are not...

Does anyone have experience using openprop? I have some questions. 1) What exactly does the ship speed parameter do in the GUI? There are no other parameters, like ship size or weight or drag coefficient or anything. Just speed, so how does only having the speed parameter provide any useful...
