I can do it with GoPro, but it takes hours to download then

Had a very fun ride with @eicarumba. I need to cruise some more on this board, it carves super well at low speed!

I convinced Metro to sell me a single hub along with a spare set of tires! I’ve got something cool planned for it :stuck_out_tongue: @Jansen this is a piece to the puzzle

Sorry for being so late, I’ll try and upload my video from riding with @eicarumba the other day. GoPro keeps throwing me errors but :man_shrugging: Depending on how these riots in LA go I’m not sure how much I’ll be riding, but it’s still to early to tell.

I hope all of you are staying safe and not near these riots :pray:

Had an amazing day doing Intro To Speed with @MoeStooge @370HSSV @JaysTCB @Psychotiller @SteveHoneycutt and other people whose tag I don’t know!

Soooo story time and why I hate Metr paired with Unity. It all started when I pulled up at 11:25ish this morning. I got my board out, got all padded up, and hopped on the board. When I throttled the board was jittering like when you haven’t set up FOC or Hall sensors yet. Steve Honeycutt graciously gave me his tablet to use and try to Bluetooth redo my Unity configuration and see what was run. I was having problems connecting them together so I searched the forum for how to set up a unity through Metr module. I couldn’t find anything so I decided to scroll through the Metr expert settings. I realized all my setting had been reset.

Fast forward 5 min of me double and triple checking that the sensor wires weren’t unplugged. Decided to pop open the enclosure. Walked around and Dave helped me find someone who had brought a laptop (Thank you Matt!! I don’t know your tag on here :sob:) We plugged it all up and tried to do the configuration at least 4 times. Matt thought of the idea of unplugging the Metr since he always had problems with his. We unplugged it and slowly but surely fully calibrated and configured my board. Finally, by now it was 12:30 so I could finally go out and ride.

Did some laps and then Mario gave me some pointers! Started getting the feel of the track after chasing Steve and Mario around :rofl: At the end it was ā€œ1 v 1ā€ races where you were put against someone :stuck_out_tongue: It was me vs Mario and I got whooped, but it was super fun! Big shout to Steve who was riding his Lonestar as nimble as a short board! It was crazy watching him fly around. I can’t wait til next weeks! It was super fun riding around!

P.S. I DID NOT GET ANY VIDEOS :rofl: I was too pissed off after my Unity debacle. Mario’s friend/buddy filmed all of today for Mario. He told me he will have an edit out later this week, I’ll post the link when it comes out!

On another note, does anyone want know what app I should use now for speed and range data for you guys? I’m thinking Relive, like @Arzamenable and @jansen use. Anyone got other ideas? :smiley:

Sorry for the long post guys!

I haven’t been able to program my Unity via App or phone since I installed my metr pro either. I haven’t had any issues once hooking up to the Unity ā€œtoolā€ tho even with the metr plugged in. I would try that next time. Or is that what program you used on the laptop? It looks like the VESC interface not the Unity one even though its called ā€œFocbox Toolā€ or ā€œUnity Toolā€

I thought that as well! So I tried both, it was super weird That it didn’t work when I tried either.

Relive is good. I like to use Ride app on iPhone(has been the most accurate for speed tracking via gps)

I still haven’t seen a good app for this - my friends Garmen watch is very very close tho. all the iPhone apps suck. I get readings of like 40mph sometimes, when my gearing reading is like 27mph.

edit - really might be my area too
