It was not a bluetooth dropout. I never had those, even in crowded areas. My connection was very solid, it was just the Arduino or the program running on the Arduino that crashed. The code was a little too complicated with too many features for the processor to keep up. I did too many requests from the BT board as well. I guess I could just re-code it, but I would not know if it could happen again. Therefore I ordered a 2.4GHz remote. :slight_smile:

Baddabing!!! Enclosure mounted. Looks nice and compact. :smiley:

Next up: Figuring out where to place button as well as charging connectors

really great enclosure, its crazy close to the motor though, are you sure its not touching when you fully lean into the truck? :open_mouth:

132

I measured that on beforehand. The pictures make it look closer than it really is. There’s plenty of space even when fully turning :slight_smile:

133

cool :relaxed:

This project has been completed!! (For now at least)

Switch mounted, everything fitted in to the enclosure. There’s not even space for a straw of hair left in that box. Overall I’m very happy with how it turned out! Also, this new remote is great, and hopefully it won’t send my flying :stuck_out_tongue: The reason I’m writing “for now” is that eventually I’ll probably do a smart charging solution. But right now I just charge the batteries individually. Thanks for following along :smiley: More pics:

It is sooooo beautiful!!! It is my favorite!! How did you make that enclouser box? Has that controller cruise control?

136

Thanks :smiley: The enclosure was made by @Dunkirk, and he used 3mm ABS sheets, and vacuum around a base to form them. The controller does not have cruise control, but I do not see the need for this as the throttle slider is very soft and comfortable to hold. :slight_smile:

There’s holes, but they’re not all the way through. I used wood inserts like this:

I like your attitude talking about “the situation” with emojis and calmness! Get completely well soon. Interestingly, though, I’m now planning the board I’ll be doing in a couple of months and I REALLY want to make my own remote and board-controller with all the original features based on arduinos. And that kind of risk was the first thing to pop in my head, now that it’s proven real, I have to be really confident in my design and software if I still want to be custom about it.

Thanks @fraannk for the pic. but I still wonder how it hold on to the board without going through a hole. Can u take a pic of the screw/insert ? please :smiley:

141

It’s going through the hole, but the hole itself isn’t going through the whole thickness of the board.

I imagine they’re something similar to these

143

@kyo, @rpn314 is right. That’s the “screws” i used. :slight_smile:

Great build, reminds me of my own (still in work). 2x5S 5000 / 190 6355 / VESC / 14-36

I guess the scratches on your batterys are from the first testride with the batterys on top of the griptape? :slight_smile: Mine look exactly the same.

145

Correct, and the stickers seems to wear off in a really weird way when using them… :slight_smile:

146

I’m also looking for such inserts, do you have any brand name or something? Can i find them in my local hardware store ?

147

Thanks man

Great build. This is really tight. Like it a lot. Elegant. Simple.
