So, I took a break from the hummieovan for a bit and did some work on a charger of mine.
I had blown a fuse on the charger and had to replace it.
That took quite a bit of messing around and experimenting to get that fixed but I do believe it’s fixed now.
Admittedly it’s a pretty rough soldering job, but it looks like there’s another issue with the reading on the charger that I missed the first time around:
(I’m not drawing 6kw from a 110v 15a outlet FYI)
Back to the hummieovan:
Last update was an attempt to fix my wiring that may have damaged/revealed damage to my VESC
I did my best to clean everything up.
I’m still planning to swap VESCs for this board since it’s my partner’s commuter and I want to maximize reliability. I’ll swap the funky DV4S into my spare parts board then use the fully functional DV4S for the hummieovan.
To do that I’ll need to convert from bullet connectors to mt60s, I’m once again scared of soldering directly to a PCB so I’ll just use an extension this time.
After detection going properly with this VESC I decided to silicone my phase/sensor wiring in place and cover it with some cable sleeving
That’s all for now, next time I gotta:
button up the hummieovan enclosure and hopefully not touch it for a while (other than swapping pullies once they arrive)
Open my charger back up and check the contacts on the output.
Swap tires and investigate the weird noise coming from my gear drives on Boardy McBoardface
I swear these things are a never ending source of projects ESPECIALLY if you’re not very good at building them
