Thatâs just the way it is. I couldnât care less about that. My metr whispers me the voltage in my ear when i want it.
also this guy is your best friend. Use him, he wants it.

How do I post a [WTB] [US] thread? I donât see the option. I just want to see if anyone is selling some bergmiesters and pulleys.
It means the range is smaller for same weight pack.
Itâs the only bad thing about LiFePO4. Iâve been using LiFePO4 for years on my highest-mileage skates.
You can only go about half as far, but literally everything else about them is better, and they last a really long time.

what do you recomend ? dose the new one come with the split connots so i can avoid using canbus all together x
depends on if you use UART or PWM.
Uart no.
PWM No if you have a metr (for example) to program it on the go.
PWM yes if you donât.

Not to sound rude @mikEEE but it sounds like you need to do some more reading of the forum before continuing further into your DIY journey. I can completely understand your frustrations as I have had my only board on the bench for the last 18 months with no end in sight. I remember when I first joined DIY esk8 I just read everything for a month or two before before even making my first comment, let alone actually building. The information contained here is indispensable, and will allow you to troubleshoot with ease. The search bar is great, and the big brains contained here are also super helpful.
Feel free to send me a PM and we can work through your issues mate

Yah @xsynatic sorry I am using some kester basically same thing it looks like maybe slightly lower rosin content think it says 1.1% but it works well enough.
I use a Weller iron wesd51 that I like but think any iron that gets hot enough can do, hear good things about the hakko as well. I set it to around 400C typically but will bump temp like 20-30 degrees for bigger parts like bullets. Iâm also pretty ocd about wiping off the tip in a solder cleaner thing here and try to add a bit of solder to the tip before I let it cool so the tip doesnât oxidize.
Prefer the kester but these both work fine for me really.

Update whinning sound fixed on motors but no telemtry on vx2
Is it possible, in theory, to have an arduino communicate over canbus and modify settings? (Assuming uart ports have better things to do).
And while doing this, is it possible to connect momentary buttons that short specific pins, adruino reads this and sends specific settings to the esc?
Letâs say the teeny tiniest buttons for:
-killswitch (sets input to none),
-âmake my board legalâ (limits speed/power),
-hfi on/off,
-battery cutoff to 0 (almost home, walk of shame removal),
or other interesting things you guys can come up with.
My thought is to use completely hidden buttons under unused parts of the griptape, drilled inside the deck. Combine wires with other components like a davega to not raise suspicions to someone opening the enclosure
