Any word on release for horizontal firmware yet @janpom ?
I’ll probably release v0.3 in a few days. Until then, feel free to use the master version. It seems reasonably stable.
Got the PCB soldered tonight, but haven’t soldered the LCD, use the tissue method. Board is a bit thicker than I originally thought so I will have to adjust my model.
Landscape. Love it!
Installing buttons - lazy way:
Not extra pretty, but doesn’t look terrible either. If we had like 1mm of square depression in the enclosure, so that the buttons could be sunk in a little bit, that would look much better and would make installing these cheap tactile buttons very easy. Just drill two holes, stick the button legs through, add a drop of epoxy, done. WDYT, @mmaner?
BTW, if you’re wondering about the big bolt on the right hand side that’s purely for decorational purposes… and to cover the hole.
Nice one @janpom
Of the three buttons which do you think would be most used? I’m only going to be using two, and I’m not too worried about resetting distance travelled for example, which was switch 1 right?
I’ve printed what I think is the final version of my enclosure design, so I’ve now uploaded it to Thingiverse.
Ah crap, I forgot to order buttons…
I just looked, I ordered all of my stuff through aliexpress the other day and forgot the damn buttons.
Anyone got any extra I can buy a few off of?
I have plenty and could ship some to you for free, but it would still take long to US.
Here’s my take on the harness. I used a 5 conductor cable and put a JST-XH connector so that I can connect the USB adapter. Then I made an adapter from 5 pin JST-XH to 8 pin JST-PH to use for connecting to VESC. Works like a charm.
The trip reset (button 1) seems the most important to me and will become even more important; see below. The screen toggle (button 3) would be the second most used for me and the coulomb counter reset (button 2) the least used. If you charge your batteries to 100% or don’t care about the coulomb counter (set VOLTAGE_WEIGHT 1.0
), then you may not need the button 2 at all.
About the button 1: I’m about to introduce the concept of session data. That’s what you’ll likely want to reset before each ride, such as:
- trip distance
- time elapsed
- time elapsed riding
- max speed
- avg speed
- max motor current
- min motor current (=max braking current)
- etc
The responsibility of the button 1 will then be to reset all the session data. In fact, it already does this, but the only session data item we currently have is the trip distance. That’s soon to be changed though.
I actually have a bunch myself and I’m located in US. If you just pay shipping, I’ll give you some. I’m not sure what size is needed since I haven’t received my packet yet.
okay cool! Just let me know when it gets time for it! I’m going to be waiting a bit for all of my stuff too so I’m not in a super rush.
Great job dude!!! You’re killing it.
when’s the next phase?
I was just scrolling through my old videos and realized that @janpom fulfilled something that I’ve wanted for a while, just couldn’t find something that I liked. I fucking love this little thing!
Back then…
Now…
Thank you, too lazy and hung over from other voices fest to switch out carbonfil to TPU, but it came out nice, I have a Proton on backorder from some time ago, this probably has everything I realistically want.
Nice
Ps. 30% gyroid infill is so rock solid
I immediately took notice of your part cooling fan assembly on your printer
It does the job, no support under 70deg
