i’m working on http://esk8builds.com a directory where anyone can share their esk8 builds (photo, parts, performance stats, upload esc/vesc-bldc settings)
I know there are some people here working on similar ideas like @evoheyax and @Okami, i took some ideas from them, don’t be mad at me, i just want to show my vision and contribuite to esk8 world.
i just added some features (upload esc settings, edit performance stats & some info) in about 6 hours more or less.
i saw your post, in my opinion gathering data from ESC to show “Average Wh per mile”, etc… is not usefull as sharing ESC settings to help people to get the same performance results and also it’s easer to code because there are a lot of ESC’s out there.
The website looks clean, feels light and fast. I like minimalistic approach and colors. It also looks good both on the phone and desktop Nice work!
I would like to suggest search / filter function as a future improvement. When the database gets larger it will be nice to find all builds with SK3, for example.
This is a great idea. I was literally wishing there was a thread or dedicated website specifically for builds last week, and here it is.
I’ve already uploaded my build to it. (see if you can guess which one it is based on my username).
Can I suggest a cost stat for builds? That way if someone wants to do a similar build, they can see what it might cost before they start it.
Also, perhaps an option to upload more than one picture for a build? Sorry if that’s already an option, I’m just having a hard time finding it.
@pennyboard done! you can edit the average price in the form inside “Edit stats & info”
then you can see the AVG price at the top of details page:
@rpasichnyk@Esrapp21 at this moment there are a few items so i put a search box to find buils with some specific part, for example mini remote controller.
perhaps you can also publish your page on endless sphere! I believe there could be a few more ppl interested in such a project as not everyone with an esk8 is on this forum
Hello, have just got into the realm of longboarding and built my own eboard. I have the VESC a 350kv alien motor and flysky gt3 reciever. I tested it for the first time yesterday. It works ok, but i have the following issues:
(In duty cycle mode and bldc mode)
when I let off the throttle i get an annoying squealing sound and the wheels lock up or feels like a brake is on
when I am on the throttle it is not smooth, it feels like all or nothing, large amount of deadband
to get the board going from a standstill it shakes and feels like it is cogging but once it gets going its ok
if you know what settings in the bldc tool would help with these issues please let me know, thanks!
