So apparently currier was not able to reach my home or etc I was working on ESC design and went from dual on board to two separates too much struggle to fit everything. The power stage is done. All is left to design control board.
After waiting whole weekend for packages today they arrived.
First let’s start with APS 6384S 170kv small fiddle spinners…
Compared to my Evolve GT 50mm motors.
They are freaking huge (The size of my fist…) Let’s start with the big package
Rockstar hubs!
Vertigo Trucks
HolyPro 35º deck
Mounting the trucks and wheels
Tried to inflate the tires… One tire is punctured. I guess when building hub it pressed the tire in between… Ech no try out today.
So here how it looks compared to Evolve Carbon GT AT
So next steps are to finish electronics and get the motor mounts finished.
Here is power stage for this project. I should finish logic side today and order pcb by the end of week.
Post some photos of that direct drive when ya get a chance
Yeah, waiting for the parts to arrive and then will update on progress
So this is a double VESC that supports a lot more current than the normal one?
Not really. This is single and it’s single mosfet setup (basically same as vesc but without drv) First one to make board for my motors then to experiment
Huh interesting. Sounds neat
How is it driving the mosfets without the drv ?
Mosfet drivers most likely
Are you writing code from scratch?
No it’s based of Vesc6 just bit modified
ah ok gotcha
Did some soldering but did not managed to make main cpu work I guess my programmer is bad or etc ordered a new one.
Here is how power stage looks (It’s uncleaned pcb straight after soldering)
Are you using a hot air blower or reflow station? If you’re gonna be doing a lot of surface mount soldering, it will save you sooo much time and your connections will be much better.
Solder paste and a hot air blower is the only way I would do it
Yeah, I did with solder paste and hot air, but my hot air station is bit crappy and still learning with solder paste dispensing plus my solder tip is shitty.
P.S. I havent done any smd work for last 6 years
Oh okay gotcha. I understand haha it was hard my first time too and I had a pretty nice one
