    Kama nunchuck for $10 [Amazon]

    Just thought I'd throw it out there: There is a nunchuk listing for $7.50 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0047SFGDW/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new. Much cheaper than the $25 I spent! I can't recommend using the Kama unless you can put the receiver far away from your...

    Nyko Kama + Rain = BOOM!..?

    I took my board out for a spin. It was just about to rain; the roads were slick and the air was really misty. Besides loosing traction uphill (damn you, single drive!), and somehow not killing myself I noticed something odd a little while into my ride. When I let off the thumbstick, sometimes...

    VESC Capacitor Fell out.. What?!

    So far, I've had a far from pleasant experience building my electric skateboard. Nunchuck problems, DRV problems, but one thing I never expected was for bits and pieces of my VESC to simply fall off- well, sort of. The center capacitor has broken it's leads off. I indeed intend to replace it...

    [ON HOLD] VESC stopped working..

    So I got my board finished, and went out for a test. Immediately, the throttle was jittery and the Nunchuck constantly disconnected and just did't behave well. I found that by holding it next to the receiver, the problems went away for the most part. This is probably my fault for mounting it...

    VESC 4.1 Faulting / Failed Detection

    I was successful in updating the firmware, and everything works great (including manual braking from BLDC tool). When I try to detect the motor parameters, I get some finicky behavior and then a fault. From a bit of searching it seems like the common cause is a busted DRV8302, though I don't...

    [SOLVED] Correct firmware for VESC?

    I've found the firmware for the VESC under Vedders BLDC Tool Github page, and I just want to double check which one I should be using so I don't brick my nice purchase. As far as I know, I should upload vesc_default.bin from hw_410_411_412.. Right? My VESC says "VESC 4.10", so I assume it is HW...

    3D Printed 8s E-Board

    Hi all! I just though I would start a build thread here to show off my build. Its a 38" Globe longboard. I'm using the Multistar 10c 5.2 Ah packs. 4 of them, 2 in parallel and then in series. Here are all the latest specs as I may choose to swap out parts: Battery: 8s 10.4Ah ESC: Ollin Board...

    [SOLVED] -- Sparks! Sparks Everywhere!

    One little problem with my build.. I'm using a voltage monitor that has a parallel balance adapter. I have this connected to two of my packs, specifically two that are in parallel on one side of a larger series loop with another parallel set. The problem pops up when I try to plug in two balance...

    A unique voltage monitor

    So I knew that I would need (or at least want) some way to monitor the charge of the cells on my board even though the VESC has a cutoff. This wouldn't be for safety but just to see how much range I have left. I though about it and decided I would try to mount a voltage monitor IN the space for...

    Newbie E-Board Build (advice needed)

    Hello! This is also my first post to this forum; I decided I wanted an electric skateboard when I saw the Boosted boards, but of course that isn't going to happen for the price.. I already have x4 5.2Ah 4s lipo batteries, so I will do a 2s 2p setup (8s). I'm going to use the single drive setup...
