Yeah there are 4 settings there,
Batt Speed Wheel diameter and… TEST ERPM - RPM - Which I’m guessing are the motor poles? Can’t seem to find a pinion to spur ratio.
Yeah so once your board is connected, hit that button:
It will prompt you to turn one of your wheels 10 times by hand then hit OK. It will do motor poles and gear ratio lumped together in a single detected number. No thinking required 
Right now its saved as a persistent variable in the app. I think in the future I will have the numbers seperate (motor poles and gear ratio) and written to the Unity. Only reason being with motor poles, flux linkage, and winding resistance I can get a very accurate estimate of motor size and suggest a safe maximum motor amps limit during config.

Looks quite nice actually. Didn’t get any warnings for not being signed though.
Edit: so no more BLDC motor settings? I like that sound when it accelerates up hill

Damn that’s cool. Thanks for explaining~

So the Unity will only work in FOC?
No, also works in BLDC but works well in FOC
It’s possible to run bldc. I’ve had motors spinning and I think with more effort I could have gotten it working well. But honestly FOC just works way better, and is easier to implement in a dual motor setup because of how the control scheme works. I think FOC is the way forward anyways and it works great on the unity with config easier than ever.

Thanks for the explanation.
I do like the whiring from BLDC though.
But if FOC works well I’ll use that.

Shit its a tiny little thing. I imagined it being at least the same size as 2 focs. Love the attention to detail in the packaging too. Wiring diagram, set up guide. Beats the focbox in a box (work it out yourself) of yesteryear.
Nice work
@onloop @Deodand And of course the irreplaceable @CarlCollins
And all the guys behind the scenes. Really great stuff.

@lemntl @jippijuk c’mon guys you can build an eskate there’s nothing hard to install windows on a mac. Here >>> Bootcamp. I installed mac on my windows machine that’s even harder.
If things are too complicated, I guess DIY might not be for you 
You can get a Boosted and “it just works”, like that kind of philosophy on Apple products. I’ve ridden Boosted so I’m not making this up

You are correct there is nothing hard at all, just forgot it was an option, but thanks for the helpful advice. Also Parallels does seam like a better option for anyone else that needs to do this too.
Dont know if this works correctly for everyone but I tried to compile this to be static so no 3rd party libraries required 
If it doesn’t work let me know

EDIT: will probably require to go to system preferences to security and allow to run it as its unsigned don’t have active license to sign it

Ok apparently I’m a slacker because I recieved my unites yesterday and I still haven’t opened my boxes look at them let alone instalked one.
Yea I was really happy when I saw that it saves a bit of space with this one.
Its really well made from what I can tell. Nice clean solder flow around the components I can see from the top (without voiding my warranty)
Everything feels really strong and stable on it from a physical standpoint. I think it was @b264 that told me to imagine slamming my board against a concrete wall for 30 minutes and design it to withstand that…with this mounted well on a deck, you won’t have a problem with that.
