Once I got the Space Cell in recently, I lost the luxury of an underglow using LED strips.
Previously, I had lipos powering the motor and an external 12v DC power bank powering the lights.
Since the Space Cell has limited room, there should be a way to power the light through the Space Cell, right?
I was thinking of using a buck converter wired between the battery and VESC. Is this a good idea? I mean, is it safe for the rest of the electronics?
Hey, thanks a lot.
So I guess a buck converter is the answer.
How does that get wired up to battery? Wiring diagrams?
@Dedbny - it has two wires in - which say voltage range. and two wires out @ 12v 3a:
Doesn’t get much simpler. You’ll need to power it from the power plug of the SPACE cell. Inline or splice or whatever to tap into the power.
That make more sense?
So ill get 12vs out? Yeah then it is. Lots of 12v accessories.
Yup! 12v up to 3A (realize you likely will need some airflow or it’ll get hot at max amps). But a full roll of 5050 SMD LEDs only used 1.8A when i tested, so not likely an issue unless you are riding around like @Michaelinvegas… 
I need to get one of these for eventual LED’s that @Michaelinvegas showed me (the independently addressable ones) .
Yeah I’m delayed all over the place … I’ll get around to it soon … I hope
What are you going to do with the addressable LEDs?
I have some left over rolls of those and thought about what could be done.
