How is your newBOX v6 different to say a VESC6 functionally? or is it the same?
Does it have the IMU / RF components?
Is VESC6 design. No IMU or RF.

Its an interesting design! I like some of the changes to the other guys out there, and dislike others.
Direct fets all around is nice even on the V4 . The edge connector USB is great! those vertical connectors aren’t worth a damn mechanically. Do the enclosures have direct contact with the FET housings, to provide direct contact heatsinking??
Its interesting to see the Shunt resistors so close to the FETS on the V4. or the crystal so close to the USB and edge.
I am not experienced enough to know if these decisions are good / bad but they are different! Excited to see how they pan out.
Also, I am a huge fan of your prompt answers! Thank You

Our whole case is big heatsink. We use thermal pad from FET to connect to case so is one big heatsink for all.

Y’know… I think I have before, and I was probably going to argue more for a USB-C connector instead of micro-USB…
But in the past few months, I’ve had so many fucking problems with USB-C that I gotta say fuck it. Keep/use micro-USB. In fairness, my issue haven’t been entirely from USB-C and more-so from phone housing plug lead-in design - mainly being way too oversized - butt fuuuk it. Ain’t worth fucking with. I think I want an Android phone with a lightning connector at this point.

These are the V4s with the smaller capacitors, correct?
Love to see em Jeff! Awesome work
Is same size but physical smaller than focbox have.

Is the canbus ic different or just a smaller package?

Is more reliable IC so not have problem like before. Also move component under USB port so can solder USB port correct so it not fall off.

Awesome, i didn’t even notice it’s mounted through the PCB on the neo, that’s nice

You got any pictures of it in the case all mounted up?

This is my VESC-X, and I had to pull the CAN chip.

The ol’ plugging one a VESC at a time in and frying the CAN chip?

Soldering related, but equally dumb.

Oh yeah. That reminds me, did you ever get your FOCBOX back, Bill?
