I’ll take one asap, possibly two. Where and how to send money?

Hey welcome to the forum!
No preorders right now. I’d rather approach this with caution. If something goes terribly wrong, I don’t want to have accepted money for something I can’t deliver. It’s a worst case scenario but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I really appreciate the offer though!

I heard the LittleFOCer isn’t going to have the extra MCU IO ports escaped (like the CheapFOCer2), this is terrible news

Yeah sorry…I can’t make it happen for this first batch. I might be able to squeeze in some for a future rev though.

What features will not be possible without the extra pins?

The missing mcu port is not a big deal for me
I’m still going to order one or two in the first batch

The idea here is allow additional features that the user/community comes up with. For example, The extra pins could control LEDs, or a buzzer, or receive some kind of input.

I’m also taking at least one.
Might be obvious, but since BT is now onboard, I can use that to connect via an app (i.e. it’s not just for a remote), and the uart is free for something else? If so, that’s pretty awesome.

Yeah that’s exactly the point behind an integrated Bluetooth module. Leaves the uart on the comm connector open for whatever else you want!
And yes it’s not just for a wireless accessory. You can connect to an app like the vesc tool

If the little FOCer is missing an mcu port does this mean it will be no use for diy onewheel builds? Or is there a workaround?
I’m new to diy vesc so please excuse my silly questions just trying to understand if this is the controller for me.

It will work fine for a funwheel or an EUC, however, you won’t be able to add lights that change colors dynamically, nor add buzzers for footswitches, or any other extra stuff. Unless you add another MCU like an arduino or something and write custom software for it.

So you couldn’t directly program it to use the footpad sensor? Are there any examples of how to add in an external MCU to do this? I have a few arduino laying around which I could use.
You can use the foot sensors to operate the vehicle.

Don’t you need signal comming from the focer which says which direction you are going for instance? Jonas here from discord btw

You can use the foot sensors since those go over the comm port, the one that’s shared with UART. It has pins for adc’s.
@Dunmer
Only for switching the light bar colour on for instance a diy onewheel. You can operate the footpads just fine without the extra mcu pins broken out.
Yes i know about the footpads but i need those pins to have focer data. Like direction, negative amp data,… Etc for something i’m trying to work on .
I would look into getting that data over can instead.

You can share the 3v pin with the nfr and the footpad
Ahh ok so the footpad would work but for instance if using the floatwheel kit. You could not connect the battery/ footpad sensor bar that shows you battery % and foot placement.
