According to the wattmeter it puts out the correct voltage but no current.
A Multimeter confirmed: there is no current going from the charger to the BMS.
any way how I can figure out if the charger is broken or the BMS? (i don’t have a second charger or board)
Is there any way I can connect both Flipsky VX1 receiver and bluetooth module to a single flipsky fsesc 4.2? It seems that both use uart ports so I don’t know if I could just connect the controller’s receiver to ppm port or use a split uart or something.
Thanks
Humm and does it affect somehow any characteristics? I mean, if I connect it that way, can I still use the controller as always?
Thank you for the response btw
Yes you absolutely can. I believe using UART over PPM granted you one small feature. Was it reverse? Could be reverse but that doesn’t matter since you have reverse via the vesc itself.
Does anyone have a good voltage regulator to go from 12s to 5v?
I’ve only found really big ones or ones on aliex. Looking for something small and reliable with a few amps on the output. The pololu ones have a max input of 50v, do esk8s see voltage spikes from braking that would fry it?
Quite a few buck converters available from Digikey or Mouser, or any of the other big electronic component retailers. They all have some kind of parametric search, just pick your desired input and output voltages and currents, and browse the resulting list.
Check here. If it’s not here, please add it when you find it.
This is the same issue as living at the top of a hill, charging a full battery, and trying to brake while at ~50.4V.
TLDR: Don’t
Pretty easy to only charge to 50V - prolongs your battery life, cell cycles, etc etc.
It would be interesting to know what kind of extra head room those Pololu regulators have. I’d be shocked if it was fried at 50.01V. They’re definitely higher quality than the super cheap alibaba ones.
How much current? Less than an amp these aren’t great but also not terrible. I’ve only had one shit the bed and I’ve used probably ten of them or more.
