Z.mote , new esk8 remote

@Zyb

Hey guys, I wanted to drop quick update on the split remote. I’ve been working on it since i dunno how long its prob been more than a month or 2 and I tried to squeeze in as much info as possible into the video
To be honest its been a bumpy ride but I’m satisfied with overall design. Some of the things I forgot to mention in the video that the position of the magnets are crucial and with a constrained elements like repeatable and consistent SMD hall sensor position, top and bottom fixed pin for the levers(in this case its an m2.5 bolt) makes the reading nice and steady. Values kinda surprised me but it is probably because hall sensor is always in the field of one or the other magnet.

I had to implement a calibration for the hall sensors because its crucial to know exact resting values of the levers as well as the min max values. It is very easy, the front led is leading you what to do at one given time. I will probably shoot a separate video to explain it which will not be a longer than a minute.

So far tested the signal and its just like in the trigger remote, braking has the priority over the acceleration so as long as there activity on the braking lever it cancels the acceleration lever. That is why I’m giving the braking lever about a 1mm slack so you don’t accidentally activate it and cancel the acceleration. It is about 3-4mm now but I will fine tune it in the code.

There are some kinks here and there but It is %99 finished, I just need to refine some parts of the code and adjust some of the tolerances in the 3D model etc…

PS. sorry for my English in the video its not my first language and some of things I say may not make sense, its partly because I’m thinking one thing and saying another but I think it is in level of common sense

Next update will be hopefully light+ related. I’m waiting for SAMD21, STM32 and RP2040 chips to arrive. I have the designs and pcbs ready so I cant test them all and depending on the chip availability and best match I will choose one go with it.
There also another update which I’m not going to mention right now because its too vague at this point but depending on how it goes I will share more.
