It will take another week… Yes, another one, it’s a nightmare. But at that time I would be able to have a finished diy specification.
Maybe I should give away 2-3 completed boards to the most interested fans in here… (?) And then in return get their review of the “product”. What should a release party look like? I don’t know…

I’ve been wondering if the AUX can be used for lights and possibly even flashing lights. But in the code it seems that AUX is only for running a fan when fets get too hot. Does anyone know of any attempt to use AUX for lights or flashing lights? I think it would be awesome - but afraid no code base support for such an option.
I would make a small PCB for light control that can be controlled either via I/Os from the vesc or CAN.
Supply for anything not part of the vesc should come from elsewhere from a safety perspective.

But is it possible to set an output from the Vesc Tool? It doesn’t seem customize-able to that degree - like, you can’t create a custom buitton? or?
You can, there are quite extensive guides on how to integrate custom stuff via the lisp support.
Which can be done dicrectly in the VESC tool.
Either that or you’re looking at modifying the real code.

I agree with this, using the 5V supply from VESC for anything else is a bad idea IMHO. High-impedance logic/data signals is one thing, but supplying power to lighting systems is another thing entirely.

That’s 2.50mm pitch.

The fact that 2.54mm and 2.50mm spacing both exist is a failure of humanity

My understanding was the terms 2.54 and 2.5 were used interchangeably to be 1/10 of an inch. Clearly I’m mistaken

For low pin counts they can be nearly interchangeable in some circumstances, but as the pin count increases, so do the spacing errors

I’m introducing a 2.52mm spacing to split the difference and make everyone happy. I don’t see what could go wrong there.

That’s right. It’s “work in progress”.

Lookin good!
As a ME who designs enclosures for electronics, my only advice is to increase clearance around the connectors. Those thru-hole jst connectors never turn out perfectly placed…they’re always a bit shifted or askew.
Unless you’re thinking this 3DP shell will be used as a fixture as the connectors are soldered? In that case the tight clearance is advantageous.
