Iâm not that bad at spelling to need it to be only one letter 
So I have a Lacroix Barrel
I know from just riding it and stormcore app that battery is down to about 36%
Plugged it in to charge and charger doesnât want to kick in and charge - the BMS app
Is telling me battery is at 100%
Is this typical shenanigans for this board?
Any thoughts on why itâs not charging or what I could do?
From what i can see, the values on the bms seem fine and i canât see why it wouldnât charge. Is the charger actually putting out voltage?
Also⌠why does your stormcore app read that youâre running a dv6 pro? Surely barrel ships with stormcore?
I have a Barrel and a Jaws 2
Both chargers are working on Jaws 2, neither on Barrel
I changed out the stormcore Vesc to maker x
Itâs probably had a half dozen charge cycles since then
Iâm tipping a connection has come loose in your board dude. Check the charge port to sentinel connection and the sentinel to bms connection
Starting to think that too
Makes sense
Thx
Edit: looked inside and wiring all âlooksâ good.
Presuming something up with BMS or sentinel.
Over it - for now
Iâll f around with it another dayâŚ
Iâd be checking continuity on everything with a multimeter before digging deeper
Iâve got some cursed ESCâs that wonât turn off together with one switch and connected via CAN bus.
Both are on FW 6.2
TIA!
You got roll to start turned on?
Edit: n/m just read you said turn off. The unities used to need a resistor on the can 5v to turn off properly together, but the stormcores that i used didnât need that⌠@Skyart or @mackann might be able to help with this one.
Some batches of 60D does not seems to work like it should with this. Turning on roll to start can sometimes fix it.
Can someone link me some tires ( 200 x 50 ) for on/off road use, with decent shipping? What are people buying these days?
looking for a color as well
My t3âs wore quick, and I am hesitant to jump on the amazon tires as the reviews arenât promising. Is Alibaba the option? Im curious what the standard is.
Happy new year!
thanks
question for something kinda like this but couldnt find the answer
Is there an optimal wheelbase or rather a wheelbase that is considered too long? The current axle to axle length on my board is 840mm, Im looking to extend the wheelbase both ends, max 25 front and max 15 rear, hopefully 15 front and 10 rear, on itâs current setup, it can go though a zig zag train crossing as easily as a DKP board and Im reluctant to sacrifice âtooâ much of that, it does it fairly easily so I figure there is some give. The problem is wheelbite. Im just about to design the plates so any input and advice appreciated.
I want to understand what electric parts are compatible with each other from what I (may) understand of it:
the battery and esc need to be able to handle each other. if the voltage is too low and the esc tries to pull more the battery gets pushed to hard and bang. if the voltage is too much then the esc will go bang.
as for the motor they wont go bang and will only ask for whatâs needed of it. thus a esc that outputs 80a continuous can run a motor that runs 70a continuous.
is this correct?
Mostly, with a few corrections:
Motors are dumb hunks of iron, copper and magnets. They donât âaskâ anything.
The only smart part of an esk8 drivetrain is the ESC. With the ones we use (VESC and derivatives), it has the ability to set precise current limits. You could drive a 10a multirotor motor with a Vesc 75/300 (300A ESC) as long as you set the current limit to 10A.
You could also fry the poor thing in a tenth of a second if you set the current limit to the ESCâs max of course.
You could also do the reverse, and run a 300A motor from a 50A ESC, as long as you set the current limit to 50A. Youâd only get 50A worth of torque out of the motor, but it would run just fine.
Itâll be fiiiiine. It will affect your performance but not enough to worry about. Iâd mostly be worried about whether or not the deck will survive with a longer wheelbase.
Any reason not to use bullet connectors for the phase conductors in a 90 degree orientation? Assuming i have good contact between the conductor and the bullet I canât think of anything.
I have adjustable baseplates. I am using a drop thru deck. My baseplates will be 30 rear, fifty front. How do I stop it from dragging ass in back? There are no risers that I know of for drop thru.
You might just need to grab a anti sink and mount non drop through, should be easy enough. Is there any reason you have to drop through beside ride height? Without some reinforcements it probably not a great idea to route the deck thinner but it could be done to hit an in between regular mount and drop through
Since I dont ride faster than 25 ever and mostly not faster than 20, would it be better to go drop thru and 30 rear, forty front? Or fifty front, forty rear? OR get the split angle baseplates that are already designed to be same height?
