Not building for myself but for my 12 year old son. His Christmas present.
Vesc, 190kv sensored motor and remote from Maytech
two 5ah 20c lipos
90mm flywheel clones and Caliber II truckes from some Chinese company
pulley kit from Ebay
xt90 connectors for everything.
If this looks good (I already received all the parts needed) and just finished putting it all together. Could somebody help me out with the VESC bldc tool settings OR am I OK since the Vesc, motor and remote came from the same company?
I can post some pics of what I have if that will help.
Iâm not trying to sound rude man but I see you reprimand folks a lot for ânot using the search function â . I realize that âveteran â builders here get annoyed answering the same old questions time and again, that being said some people still donât completely understand even after using search and finding a topic that is maybe similar to what they need assistance with.
There are other factors for why a person is asking a âtypical noobâ question. Maybe the explanation that they read wasnât written in a way that was was enough for them to understand. Everyone learns differently. What is easy for you or me to comprehend others may need a different worded explanation. It gets intimidating for a guy to post asking for help when you see folks getting snarky about a âmagicalâ search function. This forum was created to pool and share information right? Again, Iâm not trying to sound rude Iâm just offering a different viewâŚ
I have him the resource he needed but there are videos that are very detailed and threads that are very detailed that can answer most noob questions, most just choose to read a couple threads and then give up, if they went through every post I doubt they would ask the same questions, I understand the need for help but only after the person puts in some effort on their own end. Iâm not stopping people like you from answering theyâre questions thoughđ
People like me? Iâm fine with asking questions my man. The only stupid question is the one that you donât ask, except âDo you wan fries with that?â Thatâs a stupid question, of course I do.
Back to the point though. I maintain that even after pouring over the noob topics there still may be the need for clarification.
Iâve devoured every scrap of information thatâs been made available. I spend no less than 2 hours a day reading various topics available and yes itâs a tremendous help but the thing about a forum is sometimes the question that was asked gets forgotten about because people begin to debate their opinion on the subject matter.( Similar to what we are doing now.) that being said I apologize to the OP for hijacking the thread and to you if I have offended you in any way
From what I understand most of the default settings are just fine the way they are. I am still new to this but what I gather is that you need the vesc to set your breaking as well as battery maximum and minimum. More importantly is you need to run motor detection, this is probably the most important thing in order for the board to carry ya lol
I would have said it if @willpark16 didnât. Posts like this(OP) actually hurt the forum, and hurts other people like himself looking for information(as does your post).
Good forums(like this one) are FILLED with quality information, that is actually really easy to find. The entire community worked really hard to create and organize that information. If there are 1000 threads like this one it makes the actual good quality information more difficult to find.
Nobody came here to read long drawn out posts about why someone would post âtypical noob questionsâ, or see two people argue. They came here to learn about building an esk8.
I wouldve said use the search function too, theres way too many resources on on specific topic, and those resources are good too, people should explore this forum instead of having everything mouth fed to them, its DIY for a reason
My mistake guys. I apologize for not being clear. Itâs fine to tell someone to use the search function. Obviously itâs there for a reason. That wasnât my point. Point is despite using it sometimes itâs still not clear so I feel itâs fine to ask. What you feel is self explanatory isnât for the next. That being said Iâm here to learn more about building eskates not to argue. I apologize for offending
I have to say itâs actually not a bad question, this is because some companies ship there vescs setup to work with there own products (enertion used to not sure if they still do)
I shouldnât make broad generalizations like that. You are always helpful from what I have read and I read a TON of stuff on the forum. I sincerely appreciate every single person who contributes to this forum. Itâs helped me better than I ever expect
WowâŚSorry for my question.
I didnât expect to create all these hooplas.
Just got back on the forum tonight because been really busy all day trying to get this board ready before Christmas. I got pretty much all the hard parts installed. Just like anything elseâŚnothing will fit perfectly when you buy it from different vendors. Have to cut a few areas, grinding and filing and also a few painting.
Anyway, I got all wiring done and hook it all up. Remote works just fine and it spins the motor and wheel.
And also found more stuff that I have no idea about ???
Braking ???
Battery - how to set - low and high?? Currently I have 2 - 5000 Mah 25-35C
Upgarde firmware from 2.8 to 3.3 ???
