@ed_co For starters my can-IC died. Why? This should not be easy to mess up. Flux on discord messed up 4 of them until he found out it was a faulty BT module.
Soon we will start a guinea-pig offensive on Field weakening. That's right; pad up, go out and take it like a champ for the team. So not sure what this will do to the focer.
Note for the ones not aware: Field weakening uses the back-EMF of the motor to overclock the rpm of the hub. Today i tested it without load @ 85% max dutycycle.
Without it the board reaches 48kph (i have done 46.8 while riding and hit pushback there at 85% dutycycle).
Using field weakening the board reaches 64kph at same dutycycle!!
Also im not a big fan of the jst-ph connectors. The plugs become lame after some unplug/replugs and they hang upside-down so...
Soon i will try rEscue. Provided i can make it fit, also not known if this will mess with the focer.
BMS: It is important this thing can at least show us cell balance status and pack temperature. But who will make a usable one?
Battery: will the vesc really protect pack as setup? How long will it last until cells start to degrade?
Hub: How long will the hypercore be able to take the vesc-style control?
All together as a system any of these components can degrade it instantly. There is zero fail-safe and coasting is no option so...time will tell.
The boxes..they will improve as people test different materials. Sometime soon we might find a usable filament. Im not into this so will consume once it's out there.
