Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

The only problem is that my phone is iOS :pensive: so I need a Bluetooth module
Edit: I think I can just individually attach the wires to the correct pins on the unity right

Sofu was making an ios version, not sure of the progress though.

Or just don’t use apple stuff and all is well :man_shrugging:

Friends don’t let friends buy apple

Unfortunately most people that use apple are to stubborn to think that maybe it’s a ripoff. “It’s premium”

Believe if you have power and tx out from unity to rx of bluetooth and tx from bluetooth going into rx of unity and power/gnd to the bluetooth module then that should be all that’s needed but maybe @rpasichnyk can verify as well. Guess is you might want to take out the other bluetooth module if possible but maybe not an issue if it’s on different UART connection to the STM32 MCU (not sure if it broadcasts data out to all UARTs or how exactly that works in terms of telemetry and configuration changes written over various UART connections)

evening all !!

newbie to the esk8 side normally play with drones.

I have a issue with the breaking when applied it will hold for a couple seconds then release then wont apply until after say 2 seconds then I have to re apply it.
I can supply screen shots of the setup if needed.
the initial ride is ok no issues for what I have found so far, just the braking is well off.

I have a trampa carve deck with a vesc 6 plus, running a 118kv trampa motor, with X2 zippy 6200mAh 6S 40c constant / 50c burst with the trampa vesc wand.

many thanks !!

It sounds like an over max current error happens and then the ESC recovers after a second or two

Maybe try raising motor minimum. What is it set at now? If it’s at -60A try raising it to -50A for example.

I would ask Trampa because those numbers are already pretty conservative.

Try doing a hand test on the motor, and if there are two motors, try switching which ESC they are connected to, and seeing if the problem switches sides or not.

well at least I know there all right then,
How would a hand test - test how the braking is working when it needs to be under movement ?
I am running one vesc as it is a single motor setup :slight_smile:

Tap the link :wink:

:joy::joy: my bad !!

Does anyone know of an alternative belt I could use with the 47 tooth evolve at setup? $25 per belt is a ripoff.

Will you carefully count the number of teeth on the belt?

I dont have the belt yet. I am changing my gearing around, and would prefer not to spend $50 on 2 belts. :slight_smile:

Evolve told me “The circumference of the belt is 290mm and that makes the diameter roughly 92mm”.

Then look for a synchronous timing belt labeled “290-5M-15” such as
