Yeah I know about loopkeys lol, the plan is an AS150 as the main disconnect for everything and a button on the other side for the main drive and for the aux systems
Gonna leave it with the power connected but the switch off because I use it between class, so like 10 time a day each day and the loop key is a bitch
Iâd get a push to start if it wasnât $60âŚnever shouldâve gotten rid of my Unity
This thread is sacrosanct in my eyes for shenanigans. Any and all irreverent, irrelevant and off topic stuff will be goneski. It is most definitely not a shitter and will be respected.

I have seen mention of the discharge rate of the 30q cell is 15A but pushable to 20A but I would like to know if thatâs BMS limited?
I got the 10s3p 30q pack from Ownboard and it has a BMS built in, they says that has a 15A discharge rate, but what will happen if I set in the VESC for it to go higher than 45A since theoretically it can do 60A 
15amps is a really low discharge rate for a bms on a esk8. I would consider that dangerous since itâs easy to pull well over 15amps from your battery and the bms will kill power if you exceed that. That could cause you to eat pavement. Are you sure that is correct?

Would you guys allow me to make a thread out of your conversation? Pretty useful info that deserves its own thread

I donât mind
perfect! I was going to ask you!
I modified my first post in the thread to make it more relevant

I know not really the right forum but I tried Adafruit forum and got no response.
Basically I got INA260 and it fails to compile the included example code from the library.
I did all correctly but it doesnât work, the library must be corrupted or something.
The code:
#include <Adafruit_INA260.h>
Adafruit_INA260 ina260 = Adafruit_INA260();
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
// Wait until serial port is opened
while (!Serial) { delay(10); }
Serial.println("Adafruit INA260 Test");
if (!ina260.begin()) {
Serial.println("Couldn't find INA260 chip");
while (1);
}
Serial.println("Found INA260 chip");
}
void loop() {
Serial.print("Current: ");
Serial.print(ina260.readCurrent());
Serial.println(" mA");
Serial.print("Bus Voltage: ");
Serial.print(ina260.readBusVoltage());
Serial.println(" mV");
Serial.print("Power: ");
Serial.print(ina260.readPower());
Serial.println(" mW");
Serial.println();
delay(1000);
}
The error message:

The cross is positioned against the motor so the flat side is outside.

It probably pulls hot air from the stator area
Well if that cools it down a bit then iâm fine. Both ways would achieve something.
You are missing something, could be the I2CDevice library maybe?

The library should contain this part or the official guide say that you need other libraries as well but it doesnât.
I think U2CDevice is in âbusioâ library by Adafruit as well, so I installed it, still doesnât work, now itâs even worse:

Error compiling for board Arduino Nano Every.
Also I got response from Adafruit:
Seriously what the F*** it literally says what board in the content of the error ffsâŚ
Ohh damn what an error. I donât really know how to deal with that one.
Got one idea though. Try downloading the library to the same folder as your project and include it using " <-- those things.
Yeah I know complete voodoo I havenât even tried to analyse this one, too much for me.
Dude whatâŚ
I tried including INA260 library right into the project folder and it didnât help at all.
I also tried to run arduino as administrator and also checked if I have all the rights to those files, nothingâŚ
I might have not been clear with my previous post, what I meant was since 30Q cells are rate at a 15A discharge and I rmb seeing it from multiple ppl in the forum that says that 30Q cells can do continuous 20A of discharge.
So my question is that in the VESC tool app, Iâve set it to 45A on battery max since my 10s3p battery pack should be able to push 15A x 3 = 45A
So if I were to up the amps in VESC tool to 60A (20A x 3) as per some pplâs statement of the 30Q cells being able to push 20A, I am curious if I will kill the pack or the BMS wouldâve kept the cells discharging at 15A only?
Hope it isnât too confusing
