DIY Board Owners
One more thing-
GX-16 can be used in place of the switchcraft connector, it fits if the screw part of the connector is oval-shaped.
And I somehow managed to gaslight my Ubox 100v into making it think pitch was roll, vice-versa. I assume that I've either done something I shouldn't have, or I've messed up on IMU calibration.
Once I get this whole thing figured out, I'll post a more detailed write-up on my board as it currently stands.
Alright, I think ya'll need an update for the board.
As of writing this, I have switched to a metal controller box based off of the Pubbox design, which is amazing (outside of the thirty lid screws), went to the ennoid MK8, then back to the old ubox 100v. Added LEDs, 3d printed footpad with the first five milimeters being near-solid PETG with the rest being TPU and the stoked stock v4 sensor, and then the thundercat with WTF BTG rails.
The board is currently in a weird state of un-death. I made some idiotic choices and browned out my MK8 enough times to do what I'd assume permanent damage to it, along with finding that somehow an SMD capacitor came off of the MK8 (wild). Spent the better part of a couple days then switching back to the ubox, only to find that the NRF data and ADC2 being dead. Greeaat
For the past month, I've been fighting the board to keep it running. It started with adding LEDs running directly off of the MK8. Bad choice, as that would cause the board to brown-out mid ride, and I'd get some very nice road-rash. Took out the LEDs, and it seemed like the problem went away, for two weeks. About two weeks ago, I switched to the metal controller box. The first ride with the board, I did a curb nudge after about twenty minutes of riding, and the board stated to make crunching noises intermittently, with no real pattern. Re-calibrating the motor caused this issue to go away, but after about twenty or so minutes later, the crunch came back. Double-checked settings, uploaded new firmware, reflashed the MK8, nothing fixed it.
I spent a solid week chasing everything that could possibly be the issue.
I can't tell you how many times I considered either tossing the board, parting it out or just straight up taking my mom's pint and doing unholy crap to that.
I think I've dialed it down.
VESC Tool has a command in the terminal called hall_analyze, which lets you.. analyze the halls? Idk, it's VESC Tool. It's both the best and worst thing to exist. It's supposed to be used to troubleshoot your motor halls. You're supposed to get nice, clean square-wave output, with nothing weird or fishy about it.
Above is my hall sensor. It's not clean, and it looks a little suspect. Those strange, sharp dips could be either Vesc tool absolutely crapping its brains out, my halls in the motor screwing up, or a mix of both. I already tried this with both my MK8 and Ubox, got similar results on both. Could be the motor, could be VESC tool. I hate this damn hobby-
So, where are we at right now?
Well, I have four new hall sensors coming in, because one of the hall sensors DEFINITELY has damage to them, and it'd probably be a good idea. I've ordered a replacement MK8 with 120V MOSFETTS, and I'm currently trying not to go insane.
Also, this is all happening in between finishing up my last couple weeks at work, packing up for my transfer to Texas State, preparing for an event I'm going to called San Japan (Going with a group of friends against my willpleasesendhelp-) and having to juggle adulting stuff.
Hopefully I figure this out in time.
I'll keep ya'll updated.
I have no idea how ya'll do this crap
@Lia I just caught FM's short on your visit, way to go!!! It looks like you had a great time, and I love how much they loved your work.
@billegerton If you have a 3D Printer you can print this cable retention clip that has a space for an airtag.

If not TFL sell one :)

@billegerton Hiya :)
Congrats on getting a Onewheel ^-^
As long as your inverter can provide the power draw from the charging brick that shouldn't be an issue.
@divouneh Your commitment and consistency is bringing me sooo many good vibes. Keep it up ^-^
@thedoc2025 That's weird. Do you have any packages like refloat/float installed in vesctool?
If so could you take a screenie of the appUI page when trying to balance?
@lia yep, i filled one in, too. : )
@studentde Hope you find many participants for the survey :) Just got done filling it in
