      LOOK WHO'S BACK!

      Right, so let's cut to the chase:

      Little FOCer V3.1? Looks great! The price, looks painful! Is there a VESC that is cheap and that I can use for the onewheel. Looking for something that can also handle a lot of power, give the beans (output lots of power) and that would be a good fit for the onewheel?

      The Little FOCer is nice but expensive, and I don't have the money to really buy the little FOCer without having to loose a kidney.

      113 volts?! I could lick that!

        @loaffette We haven't given it a go yet since @cheppy44 is still working on the board but he bought a UBox which is significantly cheaper :)

            @lia actually, could I use the stock BMS and battery with the OWIE chip mod?

              @loaffette I believe you can but it only works as balance only with none of the usual safety features.

                Update:

                Ordered the Ubox, now I'm trying to figure out wiring. I'm keeping the connectors the same, which means I need to figure out the pinout of the hall and footpad sensor. Found out that pin 1 and 2 are possibly power, but I can't locate the power and ground.
                For hall, I have no idea which pin goes to what.

                I'm hoping that someone can point me somewhere that will give me the answer.

                  @loaffette be careful.

                  XR's got what plants crave!

                      @loaffette The XR foot pad circuit is opposite from vesc. hall sensors is the same , your vesc will configure that. First pture is footpad circuit and second is hall.IMG_6986-1.jpg IMG_6987.JPG

                        @lemur thanks for the pic!

                        I'm assuming the bottom picture, red is voltage, black is ground, but I'm botnsure what the other wires are or where they plug into

                          @loaffette Yes, red is 5v, black is ground and the other 3 are hall sensors (blue, yellow, green). Color on the hall sensors wires doesn't matter on a vesc controller and plug into the vesc hall 1,2,3.

                            @lemur got it!
                            One more thing: I'm assuming the yellow, green and blue wires are the hall, right?
