I approve of your science!

Trying to figure it out what it takes do something similar to this

kook · February 24, 2020, 3:28am

what site is that? and can it do winding calculations on a BLDC motor? like esk8 motor?

Pedrodemio · February 24, 2020, 3:31am

MotorAnalysis, a pretty cool motor/generator design software, and they are with a open free beta of the next version that is in development. It’s has a steep learning curve, but worth

Thank you!

been looking at those, but so far cant find a reliable supplier. I thought it would be great for loopkey / USB passthrough to ESC

Bindings_McGee · February 24, 2020, 10:08am

@linny… I can get the normal ones with my hands ez. This one has a thrust bearing and there’s absolutely zero lip gap to do anything with. Also no way to grip the outer black. Maybe with lined can grippers or something… but that’s bearing really seals it.

Also… It has 13AWG wire lmao. Wut.

That is a fantastic idea, if only it was antispark

b264 · February 24, 2020, 10:10am

LoL wut

What has 13AWG wire?

Bindings_McGee · February 24, 2020, 10:11am

This motor. Will post pics when I get home

Scepterr · February 24, 2020, 10:11am

it possibly is, it has a resistor, fairly large one

@Zach got one ordered on eBay from China coming… at some point, only other places I’ve seen are eu/uk

Zach · February 24, 2020, 10:12am

It is- Look at the housing “AS120”
Its basically a standard AS 120 connector in a standard XT style housing

Zach · February 24, 2020, 10:13am

What EU/UK places? Only one i’ve found is this

not in stock atm though

Welp, loopkeys with USB-A plugs are going to be a thing soon, I think

And five other loopkeys without USB for riding, one with USB for the workbench

We should all standardize our pinout now

Scepterr · February 24, 2020, 10:20am

I think a usbc jack would be good, me likey reversible

for pin out, keep USB positive on same side as positive marked terminal on AS120

Zach · February 24, 2020, 10:22am

Me too, but isolating power in + wiring all the pins for reversibility would be difficult without a large breakout board.
On that note, my search for a small breakout board begins

Edit: Nevermind, it has been found. USB-C is a no brainer, @Scepterr you got a link?

Scepterr · February 24, 2020, 10:23am

I’m switching out all the microusb on my remotes to USBC

Zach · February 24, 2020, 10:28am

Ordered 2 connectors, now to get the breakout board. Will update

Scepterr · February 24, 2020, 10:31am

there are some others that look like this, but I wouldn’t recommend them, seem a lot more flimsy
