Thats a fair point. Though if he is having them put a custom connector on it, it might as well be a JST PH 2.0mm 7pin, and then folks can rearrange the pins as needed, or do your solution of just de-pinning the connector and using the crimped ends on their own.

Most HW6 VESC’s I have seen have VCC, GND, and ADC1 on the same 7 or 8 pin JST. I dont think we can get a solution that will work perfectly for every VESC, but JST is nice in that its easy to re-arrange and make work for whatever is needed.

Unless someone sees a solution I am not :man_shrugging:

@hummieee I might actually need 3 of these. Can you ping me if/when you start a group buy thread? I dont want to miss it :wink:

But what if it’s just 3 wires/pins? That’s fine right?

Will ping u

#24

I’m down for 2 as well, just pinned wires is perfect

Excellent! Is this going to be a kit? or completes?
the triangle is the best place for them cans :+1:t2:

#26

are there options for the actual grip?
diff designs, etc

I have so many cells I need to get rid of so will sell this potted batter yes. Fits a 35.5 downtube on a Lot of bmx bikes frames. This one being the cheapest.

My god they dropped the price again

And have custom torque arm adapters to fit motor into the standard 14mmdropout.
@iamasalmon but more so looking forward to the 24” bmx frame with the 20” wheel in it so can accelerate quicker without flipping. That was the last bike’s issue.

They have one model they say is custom and this is it. This one alone I think is two direction. 170x model.

I’ll do the group buy here and change the title when it’s confirmed that three pin/wire is fine for the vesc. It is right?
And a single plug? I guess u could move the pins around but rather it be good to go for the vesc6

in most cases I think it’ll need to be repinned

So for the vesc6 what would be ideal to connect to? And what pin order? Assuming a 3 pin plug is good for the vesc6

#31

well adc1 on the uart port and then 5/3v and gnd, can be from the uart port or another, if using a ble module on uart can share the pins

#32

Are u saying two plugs? Three wires? Trying to be as simple as possible. @Scepterr

I can see what they say about doing 7 wires but was hoping the 3 wires as it’s shown is fine. They do say they can customize and maybe an option

#33

@hummieee If the throttle unit has 3 wires, then it is going to be plugged into GND, ADC1, and either 5V or 3V or VCC. I really dont think there is one solution that is going to work for every single VESC, or every single person’s application for it.

In the interest of simplicity, I think the best connector to order is one 7 pin JST PH 2.0mm connector. The wires can be populated into any slot because most people are going to have to re-arrange them for their specific VESC anyway.

Basically what im saying is that if you get a 7pin connector, then the wires can be re-arranged inside the connector to line up with the correct pins on everyone’s VESC’s. Some COMM ports are only 7pin, so dont get 8 pin. If you were to only get a 3 pin, and one of the needed pins was two away from one of the other needed pins, then one of the wires would be outside the housing. 7 pin is the best compromise that I can see.

You call my word vomit ramble “coherent”? :sweat_smile: Thank you, Im glad that it got my point across. It could probably have been accomplished in a few hundred fewer words lol

This is why i should not be allowed on the forum on my computer. Having an actual keyboard means I can type as fast as I can think, vs on a phone I have to actually consider what I want to take the time to write lol

a great explanation but…isnt that an 8 pin plug? and the same on the vesc6. think i should do 8 pin right? they spotted this and tell me @Scepterr

7 pin will, in my opinion, be the most widely compatible connector.

#39

but will a 7 pin connector fit in the 8pin slot?

#40

Yep. JST PH is designed so that a smaller connector will always fit in the larger connector housing.
