Pint

@loaffette Ooooh my gosh that is toasty! I’m amazed it still powers on! Gimme a poke in DM’s if you want anything for it 😊

@loaffette Thanks for the offer. I have a few at the moment so should be fine 🥰 Appreciate the offer though. Toasty in what way though? Got me curious about that bit :3

Haven’t had the desire to take a swing at the bms but it might be worth it since I’ve had to fix 3 of them without schematics.

@biell I’m not sure but since they’re taking broke boards too then boards with mixed parts might be fine right? Like it’s all fm parts anyway so you’d think it’s fine.

Like last year FM are offering a way to trade in your old boards. Looks like Pint, PintX, XR and GT are being accepted and you get the biggest credit towards a GTS if you do. https://tradein.onewheel.com/

I'll pin this till the deadline like last year.

@atlowshop Thank you 🥰 If you're ever in the UK lemme know ^-^
Might be taking a swing at the GT next. Would be fun to try putting an XR chip on a GT controller or other ay around and see what diabolical creature I can build.

@lia said in TFL and FM made a video together!:

I'm unsure if anything has changed since then.

I think FM learned their lesson. Maybe CPSC will call off the hounds.

I hope Kyle adds a few more degrees of freedom to custom nose angle. Sure would make some folks happy.

@notsure I was told despite the recalls, changes made like haptics and even more baked in tutorials they didn't think FM were doing enough which is crazy.
However that was June. I'm unsure if anything has changed since then.

I know they were still having issues with CPSC last I heard despite everything they did so maybe this is a good sign.

Still?? What's the problem? Anyone know?

@sirgu I hope it's them building bridges. Rewatched the video at the top after and makes me wish for it. I know a bunch of them love the aftermarket stuff so I could see this being too good to not share.
But I'm definitely hoping it's a sign the company as a whole is opening up to sharing more custom stuff with third parties. I know they were still having issues with CPSC last I heard despite everything they did so maybe this is a good sign.

Honestly I'd love to see them sit down with the heavy and casual modders in the community to do a piece with them. Show off some of impressive mods like the amazing suspension builds @Lemur and others have done or the versatile boards @S-Leon has been using over the years still going strong from a variety of alterations ^-^

I finally fixed it! Turns out past Lia sucked at reflowing. A few chips had pins that looked connected but weren’t and the IMU wasn’t fully hooked up.

But now I finally have it booting up 🥰

I guess now I should probably consider putting it in a board and taking it for a spin then maybe make some upgrades!
