Yeah you would have to hardcode any possible wifi network within the esp8266 or that it creates a hotspot every time it boots up so you can select to which wifi network it should connect…
But you know way more than I do so…
Thank you again (for your help)
Right, but this won’t go into the board enclosure. This will be a part of an external BMS charger. The primary responsibility of the esp8266 is to show data on the TFT display. The Blynk part is just a bonus (it has wifi so I must use it! ) . I wouldn’t bother with it if it wasn’t so easy to setup with Blynk. It’s still nice that I get a notification on the phone once the battery is charged… even if outside of home (not that I really plan to ever charge my battery unattended) or I can check how the charging is going without getting up from my sofa (cuz that’s important ) .
Now you only need to build a robot arm which can disconnect the charger automatically…
Any plans on releasing the source code? I would really be interested how it works…
Ok sorry…
I’m wondering what board they are working on. I think a larger battery cutout with the same plug would be awesome. Backwards compatible with the 97wh battery from M1 for travel and larger battery for those that don’t travel
*really want to get these in my hands for a really lightweight stealth builds in the works while keeping my main board with thiiiick wheels for most situations
Yup! It was close. Started on a group ride, 2 minutes later power stopped. Kicked back to my car, opened it up and found one or two of the bullet connectors that had been heat shrinked but nothing else had worked their way loose a bit. I honestly don’t know how the XT-90 adapter melted, but I’m guessing the positive and negative bullets that connect everything contacted/shorted just enough to heat the wires, melting the connections out of the XT-90 adapter until coming loose completely, breaking the short.
Got lucky it seems. I’ve since used some heavy duty electrical tape around everything in the battery enclosure that could have the potential to work loose and everything is back in working order.
