    OneWheel: self-balancing e-skate

    Waiting for a chance to get one. Definitely one of the better ks e-vehicles.

    VR-PARK Portable Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Remote Controller

    The Nyko Kama is an excellent choice combined with the VESC. My favorite. There's also the "Backfire-style" controller, which can be used with any ESC, available here: Carvon And here: Enertion Personally I don't like it's throttle response with a VESC but there's plenty of people using them.

    Make emergency manual actioner for e-board

    Perhaps a spare set of batteries in your pocket would be easier and cheaper. But it's still a skateboard dude, it ain't dead weight, you can push.

    Cleaning up solder joints on VESC's DRV8302

    The hw version should be written on the pcb somewhere.

    VR-PARK Portable Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Remote Controller

    Tried it, unable to get a connection to Arduino using BT. The joystick sucks too. Like 3mm range of motion.

    mystery China hub motor "lofty ambition"

    The range seems realistic for a 60V 8Ah battery. I get approx 25 km on flat terrain from a 50V 5.2Ah battery with a single motor.

    OpenSource Remote for VESC ArduBoardControl

    For what it's worth, I'm doing something similar, i used an OLED display from this Italian Ebay seller. I'm using U8glib It's SPI by default but can be used as I2C by rearranging a couple jumpers. but I haven't tried I2C yet. Here's a pic:

    Loaded Dervish/dual6355-190/dualVESC/90mmFlywheels/nunchuck

    I've been making some progress on my on-board DIY battery status / VESC data display. I finally found the time to draw a housing in Sketchup and have it printed via 3Dhubs.com, which by the way is an awesome service. I solderded a JST connector to the OLED display, and fixed it in place with...

    Loaded Dervish/dual6355-190/dualVESC/90mmFlywheels/nunchuck

    Thanks. It's an 80A fuse which in hindsight is way too high, it will probably maybe only protect the batteries. It's not in the way so I guess I'll just leave it there. My max amps going uphill never get any higher that 35A, so a 40A fuse might be more suited.

    How To Solder Your Own VESC!

    Pins 50 & 51 as well as 53 & 54 are meant to be bridged: schematic. Speaking from personal experience on my first 2-vesc run: after having soldered a bunch of resistors and ceramic caps, don't forget that C25 and C35 are Tantalum caps with a polarity. Same thing goes for all the diodes...

    Wireless Wii Nunchuck *TESTERS WANTED

    For better reception, keep it away from metal surfaces as much as possible. It may sound far fetched but it's possible you could be losing power to the receiver very briefly due to bad contact/vibrations.

    Finding a short with canned air

    Perhaps a FLIR One would be a good tool for those troubleshooting electronics. And it looks like a really cool gadget. Has anyone here tried it yet ? Actually this video is very relevant: xCf9ddrfykg

    VESC - Custom Applications

    I'm trying to reproduce your setup and failing. Perhaps you can help ? What settings do you need in the VESC apart from their ID ? I also don't understand your code. The documentation says that the id in the instruction CAN.sendMsgBuf(INT8U id, INT8U ext, INT8U len, data_buf) is the node...

    Very nice work on the caps. I would love to see a video of what you call a living room burnout.

    Is a DIY E-Skate worth it?

    I'd say only go for a DIY board if you like tinkering with stuff and you're confident that you're handy enough to pull it off. Yes, you will need to lend or buy some basic tools. You don't really need Linux skills, everything can be done from Windows. Why go for a DIY board ? 1) You'll...

    DIY Anti-Spark Bullet Connectors.

    Ok then. Current @12S = 50,4V/333 Ohm = 0,15A Required R for same current @25S = 105V/0,15A = 700 Ohm So 3 x 2.1K resistors will work, or 4 x 2.8K resistors will work, based on @chaka's findings. Capacitance will influence the duration of the inrush current. Play around with this simulation...

    My swim cap did a good job of keeping the gunk out today. It was pretty wet out. Great for sliding. Not so great for carving.

    DIY Anti-Spark Bullet Connectors.

    Do the math: if 3 x 1K in parallel is ok for 12S, then 3x2k will probably be OK for 25S.

    I had a quick ride after work on the Zippy's, on flat terrain. Distance 17km / 10,5miles Avg speed 24kph / 15mph End voltage: 3,6V per cell They definitely don't get me as far as the Multistars, so contrary to my earlier conclusions, for a mellow riding style on flat terrain the Multistars...
