Ask and ye shall receive. Adding the brake in now. I don’t like the look of it, but whatever, I can probably fix that. I can also probably reduce the throw on the throttle. It’s currently around a half inch of travel.

Fanciest remote ever thread.

Alright, I think I finally have a design that I like that can be matured more. Throttle trigger, thumb brake, electronics fit, AND it looks like I will have room for a battery. I need to figure out the hall sensors and the torsion springs, but it seems like this will be a pretty nice setup.

Mechanicals are pretty much done. I’m thinking of putting the electronics in one shell, the mechanical bits on the other shell, and then have the battery pop out of the bottom with a twist lock or something. I’ll print one of these up as soon as I have a chance to test the ergo.

This looks GREAT. Thanks for contributing, this is what this project is all about. Gonna try and push PCB V2, I’ll just tell JLCPCB to send it to the new house as I should be there when it’s ready in ~2 weeks.
Onwards!

Do you have a model for pcb v2? I think the one on the github is v1. I’m not sure if any of the dimensions are different.

This is still the fanciest remote thread.

Printed it and got the triggers in a shell to see how they feel. There’s also a printed shell of the poastmote for size comparison. It’s definitely a bit bigger, but I prefer the feel. Thumb brake lines up perfectly so you can just roll your thumb forward to brake.

I suggest the trigger should look a little like the thumb trigger, so it’s more comfy for the finger.
It would be even more fancy! Not as much as the thumb thingy, but maybe half as much?
Gosh darnit. Hate trying to speak technical terms in english.

Doesn’t really work out. I drew quite a few like that. There’s not enough room to have the width of your finger completely ‘inside’ the trigger, so the pad of your finger ends up hanging over the edges. Adding a curve will just create pointy bits to dig in, and it reduces the amount of throw on the trigger.

Alright, electrical components are in. I know you all wanted an 18650 to fit, but the best I can do is a 21700. It will require some squeezing to get it to fit, but I think it’s doable. If the PCB can be miniaturized, or possibly made double sided, then that would free up a bunch of room. Hall sensors are next. Definitely not an ideal orientation for the pcb, but oh well.

That’s great…oh, wait…

The repo is updated with the model for PCBv2. It’s not radically smaller but I shaved off a few mm here and there. Haven’t ordered yet but dimensions will probably remain stable!

yeah, hahaha, great thread, bro!
I dont understand anything yet, but its kinda awesome so much happening here

dont be so fast, bc maybe it feels great as it is, but you could be right.
In the end its all about personal preferences

Any place I can put some stl’s so people could print these to test ergo? It’s not fully completed, but if somebody wants to print out a shell to test the ergonomics…
You can upload .stl files directly to this forum, I think.
