Cool! Tell us more? Can it beep if there is an error?

Reviews reviews reviews!!! What’s your first impression? Size fit? Recommendations? Size bigger/smaller?

Looks and feels very solid. Will definitely protect against cold weather and sharp wind. I have a 24.5 cm hand and bought a large. Fits like a “glove”. The fingertip sensing pads are shit though. Instead of placing them on the tips of the fingers they are in the middle of the finger so if you want to use your phone you have to press with the flat of your finger. Kinda awkward.

The unidirectional flexible wrist plate feels strange but is easy to get used to and is easily removable. Feels very soft and comfy overall. I’m happy with my purchase :slight_smile:

Busted. No one bites pizza like that. Well no human anyway. This was clearly cut.

Ohhh I like this https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/no-words-just-pictures-delete-words-use-pm/2992/9228?u=skelstar

Can’t tell: is it a mechanical rotary-encoder, or perhaps a hall-effect type?

Ah nevermind. It’s mechanical :frowning:

Hi again :slight_smile:

Do you know how many amps that copper strip can handle?

This diagram says the max is 45A and that doesn’t seem like that much for 8p. Ampacity%20Chart

What’s going on there? :thinking::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That calculation is made per metre. Can’t be interpreted as such for small strips on a battery. A nickel strip as wide is perfect for 60 amps, copper is almost X4 with better heat dissipation. I didn’t test the exact amps that can deliver…way more than i need is the answer so i will not bother.

It’s a never used prototype for boosted board remote. It’s neat AF so I’d really like to make one. First I made a raw copy dummy to see how it feels in hand and have an idea if I can fit all electronics. That part could be a rotary encoder or just potentiometer.

It feels weird in a hand and I think if just 3D printed, it may be very fragile.

Also there is space for electronics but then hardly any space for the cell, would need to use a very small one and so battery life would be very short

That’s probably why they didn’t manufacture it…

Have you looked into curved cells? Might fit in the handle thingy

It’s this thing, I found it linked from Reddit’s 3d printing sub

It doesn’t beep, but it could with a buzzer shield & little work forking the code on github

It’s not necessary for the cell to be curved. I think I’ll just make it a bit bigger.

Its def using potentiometers and not encoders, which means that it’s limited in how far it can rotate.

I have built a remote using rotary encoder and it is pretty useful. Great for constant speed, but does require re-wiring you brain a bit (and a deadman-switch).

I just liked the form-factor of that remote you posted.

did you use dye on the normal green urethane wheels? or did i miss a special edition orange refly??

It’s got some gears on the side meaning that they probably drive the potentiometer. The reduction ratio can’t be seen fully but this could either help for it to rotate a further distance or shorten the distance
