Continuing the discussion from About the DIY Solutions category:
I was thinking about piggybacking on the about topic post but I should make a new one.
People should post their general ideas about where esk8 electronics parts could be used to power/upgrade something that we might all be interested.
One idea I have that comes to mind is upgrading a cheap Racing sim wheel with outrunner motor.
Also like… wheelbarrow? more like powered beach cart I guess. Robot. lol
Worth mentioning that vesc tool now has support for powerful scripting and custom UI, which can open up a whole new world of robots / automated things using vesc:
Vedder shows a self-balancing vehicle using a mountainboard drivetrain:
And a custom UI running on a raspberry pi version of vesc-tool:
The custom UI thing is sweet AF. Now I wanna build an RPi nano VESCTool station for programming and logging. Like a cyberdeck.
wheels big enough to clear the back of the deck and the motor mounts, an IMU and some clever weight distribution?
Rocinante checks all those boxes
well now you gotta do it. just calibrate your IMU in “standing” position
