    @puzz360 They come apart. A little fiddly but there are various videos on it.
    Give this a go :)

  • RE: Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)

    @loaffette Nick and I thought about something like this but I've never seen PD outlets in the wild (at least in the UK). Especially any spec'd for high wattage.

    I know the spec can go to 240W which is insane but other than a few premium battery banks that might give you 5-10% charge after losses it's not something you'd see a lot to make work in a pinch.

    @lia thank you :) it was a bit weird for the first few minutes as I have a different tyre now as well but you feel more locked in at the back and I’m liking it so far.

    hey, you wanna hear an idea so stupid it rolls around to being absolutely genius!?
    No?

    too bad

    I went to Houston this past week. It was fun, and I got to ride a really cool bike path! However, I forgot my charger in Dallas.
    While I was sitting in the park, waiting for my dad to pick me up from my ride, I was looking down at my phone powerbank. It has PD that could easily power a steam deck or a macbook. I then looked at my board.

    Then the part of my brain that everyone wishes would stop working turned on, and I had a really cursed idea.
    What if you could charge a onewheel off of USB-C PD? The idea is simple: You have a Type-C port that automatically demands 20V/the highest PD that the charger can support. You then had a DC converter that steps 20V (or whatever voltage you can pull out of your macbook/ipad charger) and step it up to say.... 75V?
    Have an XT-30 plug that you can plugin GX-16, XLR, XT-30/60/90, Pint/GT, or whatever cursed plug your insanity-tinted glasses head likes to use!

    Would this be useful? Probably! It's going to be ~$60 to build in parts, not counting filament cost.
    I'm waiting on this for now as I have a couple projects I need to finish up.

    @lia
    Insert Texas not getting cold until early-December
    Insert crazy texas weather

    I hope to attend a really big onewheel event this year, and meet some people in the VESC community.
    I'm also hoping to waterproof my board and to develop a couple cool things I've been cooking up, one of them involving a helmet addon

    also, I will try not to crash again

    I'm ALIVE!

    So, found out the reason why my LEDs were freaking out was due to EMF from the phase wires. Will spend some time this weekend to cut up a spare USB cable to shield the headlight cable.

    Also, I am considering seeing if I can look at waterproofing my board completely
    I have a feeling the rain this year is going to be insane
    I also built a trunk thing for the onewheel

    I was gifted actual power tools and so I used them!
