Definetly cc/cv.

Can still be CC/CV and either trickle or float charger

If you plug in a fuel gauge to the charger only and not the board, a trickle charger will go to full voltage and stay there. A float charger will go on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off endlessly every couple seconds until you plug it into a board.

Is there a diebiems guru on here apart from @sam? i need help understanding it

[Athrx]

Charger always stays at 50.4v and when the battery reaches 50.4v it continues to feed the voltage to it continuously.
Also i know that the bms was cutting the power because there was no voltage on it’s common port

How to make an XT90S loopkey [SERIOUS]

Arguably, the most reliable way to control power to an ESC [pair] is to use an XT90S loopkey. [20190219_024916][20190219_024931] It may not be the prettiest or the shiniest or the most foolproof, but it probably will outlast almost any other way if done correctly, and it’s certainly the cheapest. This does have antispark characteristics if you use the “XT90S” instead of the “XT90” variant of the female connector. You definitely don’t want to use the female XT90. Essentially, you make “a ke…

How to make a XT90 Loop key

Hey guys, i have not seen a dedicated thread for a loop key tutorial so since i was making a couple yesterday, i decided to snap pics of how i did mine. What are loop keys? Loop keys are a budget friendly option for an on/off switch for your board. It’s also a physical disconnection of your circuit and is proven to be the most reliable switch alongside the AS150 connector. Some antispark switches may eventually burn out or have other issues like a small current draw which eventually drains yo…

Help! using vx1 and all 3 speed modes are the same.

[Movation]

Speed modes are for UART mode, and only changes the acceleration curve not top speed. Stupid I know.

[kalebludlow]

@Movation

only changes the acceleration curve not top speed

What a braindead functionality choice. Defeats the purpose completely

[Movation]

I found this out after letting my 6 year old try my new board. I thought having it on one led would speed limit. It didn’t.

[Movation]

But metr pro came to the rescue.

[kalebludlow]

Ouch, hope the young bloke was all good

ALL HAIL METR

[Movation]

Is there any thing do, all hail metr.

[Resonant]

I can’t tell what’s going on here. The left belt keeps loosening up. I am 99% sure that it’s not the motors coming loose because it’s not moving at all. The right one has been solid. Could have putting them on too tight originally caused the left one to stretch? I think I also had put the right one on tight as well but it has been solid.

[Movation]

Are they different makes one has blue writing one doesn’t.

[Geo_Engineering_FTW]

what material would people suggest i use for a thick gasket (12-15mm):

1. Solid black rubber strips

or

2. Neoprene Rubber Black Self-Adhesive Sponge

thanks

[Resonant]

No I took them off and checked. They actually seemed the same size (belts not the cause) but motor pulley was loose. I think the first time the motor was loose. Then the pulley got loose.

@Movation

metr pro

but the thing is, i don’t see any acceleration differences either

[Movation]

You are not using UART you’re using ppm…

[xsynatic]

The acceleration modes work in PPM and UART.

Only uart provides the reverse mode.
