The whole assembly with capacitor board measures 110mm long with a 5mm gap between the two and 40 mm wide.
For the enclosure my only advise is to be sure you can access the usb ports of the VESC’s easily and allow for some passive ventilation, it doesn’t take much.
Thanks for the advice. what about height off the deck with jst ph plugs in? I guess the only way to provide easy access to the usb because i am running two would be to run them long ways and not side by side. Do you typically mount the vesc directly to the board?
I have 7 pin connectors. I am going to make some adapters with the Nunchucky breakout board if anyone is interested. I’ll have a listing up in my online shop soon.
@jacobbloy : thanks for the answer, it’s a relief
@chaka : For now I have the Kama dongle, but apparetly it may loose connection so I will probably check your website.
You still use the dongle, it just makes it easy to connect the dongle to the vesc. If you have some soldering skills it is best to solder directly to the dongle’s PCB.
@chaka : Ok I got it. For some reason I thought the nunchucky was a different brand of wireless nunchuck. But in your opinion is it realy hard to solder the dongle directly to the VESC? Do you solder the thin dongle wires that are already there ?
Yeah I like that idea. Test with plugs and then solder.
I wouldn’t run a skateboard with plugs or adapters because it’s just one more point of failure added to the mix. None of this stuff is designed to withstand the amount of shock and vibration of skateboarding.
Thanks for confirming. That is what it looks like to me as well. @jacobbloy’s comment confused me since he mentioned the 5v
so @jacobbloy must have made resoldered a new connector for 4.10 ? If he was reusing his old 6-pin theres no way that position in that photo would work right ?
*edit I just took a look at some of the older diagrams and the schematic on Vedders site and it does look like you are right, the pinouts are the same with the addition of the ADC2
crap i just noticed my Nyko Kama receiver doesn’t match the one from the guide either… have any of you guys seen this variant of the nyko kama receiver?
