Remotes have become a popular topic recently since there are so few options.
I’ve tried to make an enclosure for the gt2b but the board is just too big, meanwhile my mini remote has worked well without any major problems.
A look inside shows amic A7105 transever module similar to this 3.3v input. and no regulator so I’ll have to get some external ones to use a single li ion 18650.

Boosted style thumb wheel (might use orginal steering wheel).
A mock up with an enclosure meant for another project…
Yes thats kinda what i’m going for, at least for now.
I finally tried a boosted (v2) a few days ago and the remote was better than i expected but i did keep rolling the wrong way. The torque was nice and smooth too but thats going off topic…
Not yet you dont! How much does that cost? Yellow for the peel and maybe a cream color for the insides…we can paint on some brown spots and blemishes for authenticity
I really like the feel of a thumb wheel. Do you think you can switch the potentimeter contacts of the wheel and finger trigger to use the wheel for the forward and brake channel?
Might have to print the peels separately, then glue them to the base. After glueing the joints between the peel and the…shaft?..can be sanded and painted, which saves us $30 of yellow filament since we’ll have to paint it anyways. If it doesnt seem like too much of a pain, id totally pay for a fat gt2b banana controller. Ive been dreaming of it since day 1 before i even knew what LiPo stood for lol! Any idea what youd charge for a half peeled fat banana remote?
well a roll would be enough for like 20 remotes and I need more anyways…
I was planning something a bit different…but this would just be a different shell.
let me try to print a test and see how it feels…what wold a banana remote be worth to you?
