@billegerton watch on Ebay 😌

@lia Thank you, I’ll try.

@divouneh Your commitment and consistency is bringing me sooo many good vibes. Keep it up ^-^

@bigsmudge can you show me a couple of pictures

@quicksanddyoung Thank you for the kind words... It has been challenging at times.
Even though it's challenging, kudos to those who put the mileage in. That's "Next Level"
Since I got my board in 2019 I've still only done 6312 miles.
Recently I've just been managing to get the minimum 1 mile in.

Respect to the high mileage crew. 👍👍👍

@lemur very wise words re backup and is of course exactly what I didn’t do. Lesson learned!

It seems I have a very narrow sweet spot within which to engage the motor, which is easy to overshoot. Will get a sure start. Thanks for you help.

@studentde Job done. I enjoyed that.
I hope you can use it constructively. Thanks.

@kusosan I never used the Thor 300 rgb light control, as there seems to be a lot of confusion and wiring issues.
Instead I used buck converters from the aux, ardruino nano for rear lights and white led strips for front lights. That system has been working well so I didn't feel the need to change it. There's a picture of my Thor300/XR set up earier in this post.
I'm no longer running a Thor and have moved over to Ennoid MK8 vesc now.

@lia hiya, thank you so much for your detailed and helpful reply! I will have a look into everything you've said. I'll do a bit of reasearch into fixing it myself, and see how I feel about that first. Sounds like there are a few options there, so that's good to know!

Thanks again :)

@deeph Oh this might be a later model board where they removed that data :/
Give it a balance charge overnight and see if it improves much. Over time of leaving it a little longer after you see green you may claw back some range.

@lia Thank you!

@imgermg If you can turn on the board you may be able to use the OWCE app to check voltage.

If not the only other way to measure is to take it apart and measure with a multimeter at the battery connector.
I have labelled the 2 pins you can measure without unplugging the battery but be careful not to short them.

Hey just wanted to say Ive read pretty much the whole thread due to somehow finding this page when searching for DIY solutions to VESC issues. It was a fun journey to see everything you've done to build a really decent board!
Im riding a totally self built VESC board and I love it. Think ill upgrade to WTF rails soon and some decent sensors and footpads as im still using tiny spintend sensors and homemade footpads from plywood and griptape.
But I ride every day and I love it. Cheers for sharing your journey!
its a big learning curve.. lots to work out and its a real sense of achievement once you get things really dialed in theres nothing like building your own board from scratch!

@lia awesome as usual...

@charve You can use the Pint battery to test your Xr. I'm not familiar with th e torquebox setup, but you can put up to 27s1p 21700 cells in a stock (with slight mods) , I'm running 24s1p because I have an 100v charger from a dead EUC.IMG_9550[1].JPG

@fosterqc Omg yes that would be so cool. Would you keep the power side the same for authenticity or make it a sleeper build?
