That too. The wind is harsh in the winter, and -5° (23° F) is about the coldest I’ll go out for long rides.

@Deodand I have a feature request: Could we get a setting in vesc tool to disable the integrated bluetooth module on stormcores? Main reasons:

  1. Lots of people already have a Metr Pro or Robogotchi that provides bluetooth connectivity
  2. Since there’s no pairing code, it’s a potential security risk. For example, during a group ride someone might accidentally connect to the wrong stormcore and change your settings.
  3. Less RF noise and battery draw :slight_smile:

Thank you for the work you’ve been doing btw!!! :heart:

Just pair it? No one can connect to my stormcore without my phone

You mean keep your phone connected to it constantly so that no one else can pair and connect? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

No, once u pair it, then only that phone can pair to it again unless u have physical access to the usb port and change the setting in vesctool

iirc

You “connect” everytime with a phone. But “pairing” is a step further that locks the ESC to your unique ID. It’ll give you an alphanumeric identifier that I would suggest screenshotting and saving in case the phone dies and you absolutely need to use another person’s phone

Nice! I set pairing done to true and can no longer connect, awesome! :smiley:

It’s not necessarily to give ultimate protection. Just to stop someone from inadvertently connecting to your board when they honestly just wanted to change a setting in their own. I don’t think people go to rides with others to fuck you up. Just like I highly doubt someone who isn’t from the grouprides would have an app that could fuck something up on the esc

Can someone explain the 60D vs 60D+? Something about a uart port? Does the 60D have a faulty port?

60D unfortunately only has 1 working external UART port. The one on the side doesn’t work :frowning:

60D+ fixes that issue, as well as uses lower resistance mosfets for more power / less heat, and also has improved phase filters or what not, so that it can support Vedder Sensorless Startup (VSS) and HFI better.

Does LaCroix offer a fix or replacement?

They shipped me a 60d+ and asked me to return the 60d. The shipping price was meh enough that I asked if I could pay an undisclosed amount to keep it as a backup and we agreed on an amount we thought was fair.

Depending on your application you could use a uSplit to get more UART ports.

My application is selling it haha. But this way I can tell people they can swap it maybe

The worst part is 5.2 FW doesn’t even let you use the second uart port :joy:

5.3 is still acting wonky for me but made the port work immediately.

Same issue here, forever. Pretty sure I’ve seen the same reported elsewhere. But yeah- brakes give out right at the very end where I’d normally be coming to a stop. Pair of 100S.

Ever find a cause?
