So I got tired of opening my enclosure all of the time to switch settings on my vesc. I searched around the internet and came across this mini USB connector.
I like this idea but I spent ages trying to find the same thing but with a water proof cover. I came up with nothing.
Anyone find a waterproof solution?
I did the same thing with my VESC. Except I bought a Mini-USB male to Micro-USB female adapter. Now I can charge my GT2B and program the VESC with same cable. Nothing uses Mini-USB anymore…
I bought waterproof Micro-USB plugs on eBay from China. They were a $1 for 25
I saw it on youtube by someones build log. After 2 months i found myself wanting it, but couldn’t find the video anymore. So, it is out there somewhere
It’s not a duplicate thread, the connector in this post is completely different than what you posted…If you believe they are the same then that’s part of the problem. I knew you thought this was a duplicate post and i knew that’s why you posted a link your thread trying to insinuate this was a double, however, you are wrong
Plugging a removable cord into a permanently mounted setup IS NOT AS CLEAN. This is the equivalent of running an extension cord to an outlet in your garage…The connector in this thread is a 1 piece setup with mount holes already installed… But anyway, believe it or not, I did not come here to argue about which one was cleaner
How is posting an observation being a dick? I made an observation(a correct one by the way), and you deiced to call me a dick.
Can we get this thread back on track. No one gives a shit who linked what or when.
This connector is an great idea. Its small and meets the requirements. @Fiori did you ever find a way to cover this plug so it doesn’t get dust and crud into the port?
