This is a great guide! Though can anyone direct me to other guides that talk about ADC control or anywhere where I can get information on how to add a potentiometer to my VESC. I know how to plug it in the controller, I don’t know how to program it. Any help or guidelines would be great! Thanks!!

If you can find a more info, you can place the link in the wiki :wink:

Will definitely do so! Once I find the information. I have been racking the forums for anything similar to that and I know I might not be the only one! :slight_smile:

Seems like it! Would you know where I can learn more about how to program with ADC control or something like that of the sort? Anything would help!

batteries with higher capacity. What also can help is put less stress on the batteries, limit the amps to 15amp or something :slight_smile:

Hi everyone,

New to this forum trying understand everything better. Not sure if I should write this here but I couldn’t find how I open a new topic.

I am a MA student of design innovation and I chose for my major project to build an electric skateboard. I created a quick multiple choice questionnaire that takes only 1-2’, to get some feedback of what people like.

I would much appreciate it if you can take a couple of minutes and fill it up, It will help me a lot.

Here’s the link https://goo.gl/KVwp5y

Cheers Leo
