So what do we want the poll to address?

  • Wires only
  • Connectors

Connectors or nah,
3.5mm? 5.5mm?

Wire gauges, 10 or 12 AWG? Aaaand uh, form factor…size?

We can enlarge on this poll depending on results to define what is the general consensus

Connectors are dirt cheap, Why not have wires only but add connectors to package for DIY soldering? Can even add 4mm and 5.5mm to please everyone …

That it is. How about we keep it simple and not drive Jeff insane with 37 different requests and suggestions? Worse than bridemaids choosing dresses, you lot.

Been reading this whole venture, and i have to say that I am very hopeful for this product.

I will surely want to test these out or order one, if they turn out reliable and good quality i think there is a high chance for these to end up in our full builds.

No phase connectors installed.

And please use the correct comm Layout unlike flipsky.

I’m gonna say it because it’ll come up eventually.

  • will schematic, layout, bom be released open source? (I believe schematic is required) Releasing would invite cheap badly built versions from other vendors (flipsky, etc).
  • lawsuit from Enertion? Looks like there’s another batch being cooked up by Enertion?
  • possible issues with open source licensing with vesc project?

Would cloning the ESCape make more sense, with stewii having left the scene? Too expensive?

If modifications are being made, it should help with the lawsuit issues. I think the 3 shunts is the biggest one? Would be nice to borrow some thermal design ideas from Unity. Maybe 2 UART ports (although accessories are starting to shift to can bus)

I think I would love pcb mounted XT60 for battery. I always always have a hard time routing those wires cleanly. Maybe mounted XT60 with solder pads for people who need wires?
