Now back to the bench to repair what you broke for the photo shoot.

Which module did you use to get the Remote Signal to activate the lights (relays) ?
Is there something that already exists or did you use something like a car remote ?

Cheers


@glyphiks
How did you get that cool looking flat red color is it just resin or did you add something thanks :call_me_hand:

Its just resin with pigment added. And multiple layers of fibreglass and clear resin on top.

This board is awesome, dood.

Yes, two actually, one LM2596HVS that can take the full voltage and another LM2596 that can do constant current to drive leds

Will give a try to some caps

Charge only, FlexiBMS ftw

I have the channel 1 one the GT2b connected to an Arduino Nano, and it reads the channel and controls the light, the DC/DC converter Iā€™m using has an on off pin that can be used to turn it on or off without relays or additional transistors

Itā€™s the PWM reading, it should be stable 1875 ms, but as soon there is current on the motor it goes all over the place, but should be easy to solve

That would almost include, a knockoff gorilla pod, a pixel 2, a 50mm lens mount adapter and my spine, no reward without risk yolo.

I didnā€™t. I wish I could. Europe Iā€™m afraid ($$). For now a dreamā€¦ Ā£170 each :grimacing: (but they are one of the best build in the market @NoWind uses them)

Yeah, I noticed. These are Multiplex.

Some context for


Have been using custom remote for a long time itā€™s great can be idle for like 40hrs and I didnā€™t even optimize for power consumption but there was no clear indicator it was on from the outside so I just added this led so itā€™s very clear and a secondary light in my hand which canā€™t hurt (also makes it look a bit less like a gun?)

itā€™s a radio wave gun.

I need to see you hold this haha

Can see it in hand here I should probably just print the top cover out of something bright too, to avoid confusion :joy:

It works just like a gt2b except I grip the trigger with two fingers so can brake by pulling up with top finger or accelerate pulling down with both, uses a linear hall sensor now and magnet in the trigger to detect position (also :man_facepalming: I had a screw stuck to that magnet on the trigger I didnā€™t notice).

Could move this hole for the light down further too was just an after thought drilled the hole to see if arduino was on in there initially.

Could you detail your process a little bit here? Iā€™m gonna have to go through this with ~140 cells so any help is appreciated.

Did you have any cells that arrived below 2.9v? Were you able to recover any?

Beautiful builds
@BigBen what trucks and mounts did you use on these builds thanksšŸ¤™

Any idea now on delivery times for the hellcat wides?

These were Surfrodz with old psychotiller mounts.
Since changed to some newer prototype trucks.

Dunno! Last I heard from Ernesto they were expected mid June.

Shipping is still kinda fucked right now
