an arduino is under $20, a screen is $9 and arduino IDE is freeā¦ 30 bucks, plus a connector and a favor for someone to print you an enclosure.
you saying $30 and patience arenāt your thing?

PM me about UART 7 pins cables if you are in the US. I just bought some and could probably get away with shipping it in an envelope.

I ordered them already, and live in Germany anyway 
But thatās a lovely offer! Thanks

Well I already have Arduinos. But still, I donāt have anybody to print me an enclosure, donāt know if enclosures are free to download somewhere. The display and enclosure with shipping should be about 20ā¬. So why donāt go pre-built and be on the safe side, and saving yourself work?
I can still do it DIY style in the future some day, but as for now, I want as little possible problems in my upcoming build as possible.
Do you have experience with the OS Davega+:)
itās not the destination, itās the journey. some do it for the tingly sensation when you plug it in, turn it on and it works after so many tries of it not working hahaha

I have to advise against thisā¦
Velcro =/= structural. Your enclosure will fall off if you mount it that way.

My enclosure + electronics will be under 2kgā¦ Iāll test if it will hold to the board
The Stripes are advertised as 3,3kg each

@b264 what is your VESC settings for Battery Voltage Cutoff Start and Battery Voltage Cutoff End on LiFePO4 cells?
I admire your braveryā¦
Iāve seen ā4kgā industrial velcro fail to hold up a weight of maybe 100g because of vibrations.
Donāt underestimate the impact of vibration. Would you rather spend a few hours now securing the enclosure with proper fasteners, or way longer fixing everything when your enclosure gets dumped on the road at speed?

For 12S LiFePO4 Iāve settled on
voltage cutoff
start 34.8V
end 33V
There is a thread though for that

Which alternative to screws is there?
I might add: its not velcro like on shoes. Itās some kind of plastic nipples but works the same way. They hook into each other. I canāt imagine vibrations breaking that hook connection up. My abs box will arrive soon. Iāll put something thatās heavy inside it and ride my unmotorized longboard for a long period of time
Iāll see how it will work out!

One question that always bothered meā¦ could soft (or hard) voltage cut off on vesc be triggered during hard acceleration on low-ish battery due to voltage sag?
@b264 @BluPenguin
Please can someone assist, I have had a Flipsky 6.6 dual for a while and utilized a PPM signal for my remotes, but I have recently bought a VX2 Pro. When I connected it over Uart and configured everything it was only working with one motor and not the other, but swapping uarts it would start working with the other motor instead. I realised that it may need to connect to both uarts so i added another Uart connector to it and it powers both motors, but the telemetry is no longer working correctly, so I just utilized the TX to power the motor without receiving telemetry, but now my speed is showing as incorrect, (Expected but the Amps being used is also half), could anyone let me know how i could change the gear settings on the remote to reflect the correct speed?
Apologies if the above is a mess.
Ok, mushroom tape I can have a little bit more confidence inā¦
As long as youāre doing your due diligence making sure itāll work

This is what I got at home for now. But Iāll search for a stronger one maybe
I guess thatās not what you meant with mushroom tape:
Which of the two would you recommend?

Ya, this is called mushroom tapeā¦ The little nub things look like mushrooms which is where it gets the name.

Oh, haha.
So thatās stronger than velcro, right?
I tested with a small strip - holds to the board extremely well. With even pressure thereās no way to get it off. Only peeling with a knife but I guess my battery enclosure wonāt do that :).
My only concern is how well the adhesive side of it sticks to the ABS of the enclosureā¦ I will see!

Yupā¦ If you get to a point where voltage sag will put you in that voltage range the answer isā¦
yes
