Wow thats a big collection 
I wish you showed me before, I could have embossed a permanent tag on the side of the remote

Iām curious what kind of incidents are prevented by the deadmanās switch?
If I end up not liking the switch, is it possible to modify it to always on?

I assume itās only when youāre not using the remote, or waiting at a stop light? I think it would just annoy me, personally

In my case I had my board flying because I was searching something and somehow throttle was pushed by accident. In another occasion most of my weight was on my front foot on the board but this time I fell on my butt etc Switch is right under your middle finger it becomes a second nature after a while but I see many requests to disable it so Iām planning to introduce a simple menu using the bi color led to disable or enable it from the software. Gonna do it asap when I have a bit more extra time.

Donāt remember if asked already but the deadman switch is bypassed when braking?
Yes, for braking doesnāt matter if its pushed or not.

The next addition to the remote will be this piece, this is my first prototype and so far tested it on yhe bench only. I need to see how it behaves when the voltage is fluctuating.
This is basically a dc dc converter with its own controller for lights control. Commands are received from z.motes receiver. Making all the lights controllable from the remote.

Bro, u need a thread for that, Iām sure people would like something like this for more visibility

Yea the visibility is awesome and they also react with braking as well at least the first 2 modes, the rest 30 or so just random modes. This is how it mounts, no additional tool needed goes right in between the board and the trucks just like a raiser(it can also be top mounted). 32 leds on each truck total of 64 completely waterproof as the whole thing is resin casted I need to test it outside and see how it goes. And yes I should probably open another thread when I get the chance.
@rafaelinmissouri Iām on my way to the post office now. Iāll update the order page with the tracking number later today.

I would love to see a cheap AIO LED driver that is non proprietary/ locked to a system. (This isnāt meant as a jab towards you, just a general statement) and plug and play. Mount it, daisy chain it into your CAN cable (or whatever signal it takes), give it juice and go.
Some semi dumb CAN enabled device that reads either voltage, amps or PWM signal to control regular brake lights.
Riding = lighting up
Braking = lighting up brighter

I am a big fan of shredlights.
For my use they work very well generally.
And they are easy to go from one board to anotherā¦
But if I go from an empty area to an area where there are people I really wish I could easily turn the head lights off with a remote because I always feel like I am blinding peopleā¦
More good stuff Kamanā¦
Keep it coming.

I see what you mean but Iām planning to add alot more than just riding braking stuff and that requires coding. They may even tell you the level of your board battery with the push of a button from your remote. + like @rafaelinmissouri mentioned you can easily turn them on or off from your remote or change the mode etc. Currently they work with UART so as long as you send them correct command from your receiver they can be adapted to any system.
Lights are quite durable as well, Im literally jumping on them to try to brake them but I need to see how they gonna hold up with constant vibration. Actually being encased in resin should help with mitigating the potential failure from vibration and external variables but thatās to be tested.

@Zyb nice project first of all!
Sorry if it was mentioned before and I missed it, but do you have a website where we can order a remote?
Also question to all who do already use one, anybody riding in crowded city areas? If so, how is the signal doing so far? Any cut outs, signal indifferences or similar?

As many people here going high voltage lately (16s+), maybe it makes sense looking for an option to support voltages up to maybe 20s if possible. Just an idea thou.
I remember seeing a video of him showing the remote reacting with his esk8, with a carbon deck and enclosure, fairly far away from each other.

Yea around 80 meters 
@Andy87
Thanks for the suggestion, I thought about that too but struggling to find a decent chip that accepts high voltage (~90-100V) and output of around 3A 5V. Ive seen some readily available options but they are quite bulky. My design is slim and not much bigger than the remotes receiver. I need it to be something similar. Actually found a chip with 100V IN but it only provides 1A at the output side.
