All boards are partly assembled (All SMT parts soldered) Firmware is loaded and checked for any faults. I have no had good luck with IMU’s so none are included currently.
I am located in Ontario Canada but will ship to the US as well.
Included in the price is a $5 per board donation to @shaman who made this happen.
Shipping will be Canada post expedited parcel or USPS small packet. Should be under $20 shipped anywhere in North America. Order two to save on shipping.
No matter what some soldering will be required this is a DIY project. If you really need me to solder leads/connectors for you send me a DM and we can figure something out.
No through hole DIY kit Tested CFOC2 board without through hole components soldered: Price ($45 USD $60 CAD):
That’s awesome man!! @stratoglide put together a bunch with those drvs. They worked great till they didn’t. Didn’t seem to like brakes on 12s. But if you bought from digikey it’s likely going to be better. Looking at the pics, these are looking great man! Very nice offerings and a great price. May you prosper.
Do these have pull down resistors installed? My board just got lost in shipping after getting them installed. I would be looking for an option with no component soldering required. I am fine soldering wires, just not components.
I’ll take one with all components soldered and a heatsink, can you install some 2k ohm pull down resistors (so that I can use Velostat pressure sensors) on it for me?
Where would you like the resistor installed? Also if this is for a self balancing application keep in mind of my note above regarding not having IMU’s.
Hmm. Not having an IMU is a big problem. I remember the last version that I had had a specific spot for pull down resistors that said “leave blank if not needed”
Is there no such note in the build guide for this version?
I am using it for a self balancing application, so an IMU is needed. Are the boards any larger in form factor than the original variant? Mine had the caps hanging off the back of the board
[Uploading: image.png…] Whatever the pull down slots on the original correlate to on the newer version. I didn’t even know a newer version came out until today. Can the external IMU mount to the FOCer itself somehow? Space is extremely limited in the foot compartments on my DIY Onewheel.
I think I’ll take one with everything soldered and a heatsink, and I’m going to have @ziploc solder on the IMU and pull down resistors for me. Do you flash firmware and test the boards you build?
We used 11K pull-down resistors on yours. I think 2K is a bit low. R73 and R68 look like the right locations. That’s really bizarre that the IMU hasn’t worked on this new one.
This really surprises me. The soldering you did on the drivers looks really good. I’m wondering if it might just be a problem with looking at the IMU output in the VESC_Tool. I remember when I first tried to verify IMU operation in the VESC_Tool, it wasn’t entirely obvious to see how to do it. I think I had to select “IMU Data” on the left of the graphical display, and the IMU button on the right. Do you have one of your IMU boards laying around to check? I could verify it on my end and make sure we’re doing the same thing.
