Am I too anxious if I keep checking this thread at least every 3 hours to check if shaman released the website. :sweat_smile:

I follow this project since few months now.
Very interesting project and excellent work :wink:
I am building an open source project too for escooter dashboards/display compatible with VESC : github Koxx3/SmartController_SmartDisplay_ESP32
Iā€™d like it to be compatible with 20s, but I struggle with the DC/DC part. I based my architecture on LM5164, but there is a worldwide shortage on this component.
So ā€¦my question is : what DC/DC buck converter are you using for your 15V ? is it still available ?

Lol :rofl:

Thatā€™s always the concern when stocking a new product, but Iā€™m glad that it was unfounded in your case :slightly_smiling_face: you deserve the success youā€™re seeing!

This chip has a max input voltage of 80V. A fully charged 20S battery is 84V. And ideally you want some margin. So a 95V or higher DC/DC converter chip is what I would suggest for 20S

Whats the deal with only 6 mosfets for 250A? Generally higher current boards have more mosfets, but these 6 are BIG, is it like a size vs space vs cost triangle? Im used to seeing people just slapping more and more mosfets on.

Has anyone gotten encoders to work with these? I canā€™t seem to get mine to work.
