Nice! So some questions…You send the positive and negative to one of the IR sensors of the gyro but you have 2 IR sensors on each gyro, so maybe i’m still lost a little with that could you draw a connection diagram sketch? At this point I’m not sure if I need to use both gyros and only rewire or should I rewire and forget about one of the gyro, thanks in advance I hope I can get that part understood as I have almost all the component I need.

If we use this firmware GitHub - EmanuelFeru/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC: With Field Oriented Control (FOC), we can get more power. Using an arduino (or someone can write additional firmware for the side board-hoverboard) and the MPU6050 sensor, then send data to the main board. There is an example code for arduino if we take this data and send it to the UART. I did some tests, and this is what I started to get https://youtu.be/9qGHqwf_8K8 it would be nice to use standard side boards stm32+mpu6050 (without arduino), but for this we need to find who is well versed in programming. What do you think of such an idea?
hey guys I accidentally broke the magnets in my hub motor and now it’s not working any idea what can I do ?
Id remove the broken piece of magnet, look for any damage to the stator. And reassemble. I broke a magnet on my real onewheel and it’s fine after I removed the broken piece

cool
thanks a lot but I have 2 broken magnets adjacent to each other
On a 6374 motor, I’ve repaired a broken magnet like that with epoxy. Still working fine to this day. It’s not a guaranteed fix, but might be worth a try.

damn those magnets have nothing holding them in place other than adhesive, just straight up glued to a steel tube lol

HMMM yes yes
I am very ready to battle harden a hub motor

so you replaced it with a new one or directly put on epoxy

I am wondering removing some magnets might lead to drop in watt
I think we need to fill the gap between the magnet and the outer casing with some epoxy or glue

Looks like you split the whole damn thing in half. You could try gluing it back together/down but you have a high chance of making it rub if it is not fully back into place.
Replacing could be possible with a ton of effort, all the old glue would make putting the new one in near impossible imo.
I guess take the whole thing apart carefully with a hammer…
I want to see the magnet gluing job if there is no mechanical locks for them.

this space needs to be filled but its really tiny space.
So in actuality, they are just getting those 2 points of contact to spread out the magnetic load. If we fill it with something it might be able to spread the load much easily and there will be less chance of breaking.

I tried to run the motor in this state it won’t even run

Dear lord where did I say to do that? I asked if you could even get it apart!
I did that before I posted it over here

oh would love to see the pic of the magnets lacking glue, so I know what the job would be like.
In the last week I have battle hardened 9 motors!
what if I remove the magnet and try to run

Well I hope you would get far enough!
The G-Flex epoxy I used was very low-viscosity when mixed at a high room temperature. It seemed to be able to flow into some very small gaps.
Depending on the amount missing after you cover the exposed rust-prone iron core of the magnet with epoxy it could be good to go. Half missing idk.
