I saw this today.
I'm not sure if I'm going mad or what but...

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
Guess who's back!
so my parents bought me a 18S2P battery from the BoardGarage that runs off of 50s cells. They also got my an accompanying charger and thr XLITE-V3.Spent all day setting it up, and it works!... after I accidentally plugged it into the stock harnesses reverse polarized connector. Had to replace the XT-60 on both the battery and the harness
gonna rip her around the neighborhood this morning, I'm excited

Finally getting the hang of going up curbs!
I'm getting the hang of the art of "going up curbs"
Super excited, just need to get it down and become more consistentCurbs are no longer a obstacle, only a mere pebble. Next is stairs, then after that. . .
Run

RE: In The Wild, Photo Share (If Possible To Capture).... Keep Your OneWheel In The Shot If You Can.
Time for a Onewheel update!
(The school doesn't lock the gate to the track, so I ususally go there at night to ride around. The ground on the track makes my tire act weird, but it is fun acting like your racing other people!)The onewheel XR has been treating me well so far! It has turned from a cool toy to a tool in my life. My bike I have is good for getting to walmart and such, but bad for getting to classes due to it's footprint and how people congest both the sidewalks and the roads (No, seriously. People just walk in the middle of the street. It's dumb.) and the onewheel, with a massive speed reduction lets me weave past people if I have enough space.
The onewheel currently has stock everything except bumpers, tire (provided by @OneDanGT (Thanks man!)) and rear footpad. Next on the list is life savers for my rims because I ride this thing like a psycho at night or when there's lots of space and I'm going to start to learn tricks. The badger provided by @S-Leon (thanks man!) will be installed this week as well. I will try to design clips to attatch the LED strip to it.
Down the road, I will look into a battery upgrade, and finally either new rails or maybe even a VESC. After that, I'll water proof the board and I should be done with it for a long while!
Also, it's icing outside so that is going to severely limit my riding time. Ice isn't as hard as I thought, but braking with the bumper causes the onewheel to slide, and turning sometimes feels wack.

RE: Thank you
@lia The only thing I can really say is that whining doesn't really help anything, and it's better to look on the bright side.
I remember hearing something like it takes more energy to frown than to smile.
But thank you for making the forum in the first place! I wouldn't have a onewheel without you guys!

went on a trip in Colorado, brought Warstick with me

My mom bought a pint
So my mom decided that she wanted a Onewheel so she could ride with me
however, she didn't want to break the bank and wanted something easy, so I helped her find a used Pint.
We got lucky, and found one that had 114 miles at 600 dollars. we got even luckier, as I found out the battery had been replaced right before I picked it off of the guy I bought it off of, so we basically had a steal.Going to be teaching her how to ride it, but I'm not going to let her near my VESC (Warstick) as it has some problems and I need to fix a couple of things on it
We'll keep it stock, and probably by Christmas depending on how much she uses it, I might give her floatplates and a new tire

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
Here's some good news:
My board balances in freewheel mode freakishly well
and I am working on making fender deletes for the thunder rails
Currently basing the main design off of Rantharin's work on the fungineers discord, but his is for a pint tire. I'm adding an indents near the axel to make space forrim j-life savers, and a cutout to allow cables to run past unobstructed. I'm currently printing prototype 3

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
@lia figured it out
It was some pitch orientation problem. I redid the IMU calibration a few times until I got it working -

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
The board is back in one piece
However, there is a problem..
Here it is rebuilt, but in time-out
The board is acting weird. It's very sloggy, and I've made sure all of my settings are set correctly. I am having some weird issues with the yaw orientation, but I'm not sure if that is the problem or not. I'm gettgin 15-35 degree offset, not the usual 90 or -90 degrees

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
@loaffette responding to this so people can be updated:
Turns out the Field-weakening setting was set to 45A. When I did a burnout on the ground, I think the field-weakening drew too many amps from the ESC and blew it.
So now I keep my field weakening current under or at 35 amps -
RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
@lia I don't think I could. That bump goes pretty far into the bumper, and I'm worried if I sand too much of it, I'd be puncturing into the box's cavity
apologies for the venting and ranting, I'm just having one hell of a time with this board right now -
RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
Back again
Avaspark sent me an STL link for a controller box that should have had everything I needed.
However, it had a bump sticking out that I should have looked at more closelyI can't get the bumper on fully, so I have to re-print the box

RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)
I'm back
I'm fixing my vesc. It's 1 AM, my VESC has been in pieces for about four days.
I've had to rewire and shorten the wires within the battery box, redo the LED strips because they broke, rewire the entire controller-side, remove the footpad and hall connectors from the PCBs, re-solder the controller's XT90 and swap it for an XT60, drill new holes for the controller box because the lid I bought didn't line up with the existing holes, and I've had to do all other thingsslight rant but..
If VESC is ever going to get farther than it is, someone needs to make a few things obvious or make sure everything fits. The last two controller boxes I've printed have had misaligned screw holes for the lid..I'm tired, I'm going to bed

RE: VOW Vesc'd GT is insane!
@lia I now want to make a board that goes 40 just so I can hit 30 without any worries
Maybe thats the lunatic in me talking
