8:51 this would be a great tip if I knew which one's the balance

@TheWillDConstruct 2 ай бұрын

Sorry for the confusion, the balance connector is the wide one with a ton of tiny wires. It also carries 4 temperature sensor wires too. It is shown here with all red wires but on a stock future motion battery the balance connector will have a bunch of different colored wires. Hope this helps!

This is a huge rescource. Im trying to vesc my gt after the controller went out after warrenty. I havent even found anything to show me where to start until this. Thanks man- also though- Is this pretty well the same procedure for vescing the GT? Can i just bypass the BMS as you did here on this pint or do I need to buy some type of new bms?

@TheWillDConstruct 3 ай бұрын

I believe you can do this. But I would check with other people because I haven't tested it. I also remember all the battery fiasco surrounding the GT and the bms bricking issue. But I'm not sure if it was a functional brick or just the serialization handshake breaking when you unplugged the battery.

@VulcanFire 2 ай бұрын

If the BMS bypass make its so the BMS no longer has the ability to cut off power when riding the onewheel. How do you prevent the battery from getting to low? How do you prevent it from charging too much? Is the BMS still regulating all these crucial battery things but no longer can take action if something the battery doesn't like is happening?

@TheWillDConstruct 2 ай бұрын

The VESC has voltage cutoffs you will specify in part 3 that will take care of overdischarge and regen hitting these thresholds.

Hey im curios where did you gain all of the knowledge about what everything is what to do how to sauter etc. i have always wanted that kind of skill set but dont know where to start

@TheWillDConstruct 3 ай бұрын

I'll make a video on soldering at some point. But in short, a lot of it was expirementing. You want to think of it as 'wicking' like how a wax candle wick soaks up the wax. The wax is only going to wick up the wick when it's warm and likewise the wire will only accept solder when it's hot, flux also assists in making sure the bonding surfaces are clean and aren't oxidizing. Also do use a fume extractor or something to avoid breathing stuff.

Incredible video-is there a reason you cant salvage the original FM motor connector from the Pint controller instead of making the printed one?

@garrettsmith3310 6 ай бұрын

I was wondering the same thing 🤔

@TheWillDConstruct 3 ай бұрын

In the interest of preserving the controller I sought to make a printed one. But you totally can so long as you've either got the destructive means or soldering prowess. It can be a challenge depending on how you do it. But I wanted to promote an "additive" and less ewaste take on the connector issue.

We need to protect this man at all costs! I'm more prepared to VESC an XR since I already have a lil focer and case. However, since I have extra rails I might as well get a superflux hub and go all out. I just acquired a used PintX with only 17 miles on it for $750. I have since put 13 on it then had some front footpad "orange flashy light" issues. After reconnecting it a few times, it's working enough I'm willing to put a Kush/Enduro/Sure Start on it... Unless the Sure Start (Pro) isn't compatible/necessary with VESC?

@TheWillDConstruct 6 ай бұрын

There is no need for surestart on VESC. It is a feature you can enable in the app.

Has anyone come out with a mod for an audible pushback alarm? That's the main thing I wish my onewheel had (and might have prevented me from breaking my collarbone lol)

@TheWillDConstruct 11 ай бұрын

The Rescue project has this function. It's been slow in development, there's also metr.app which I think does the same thing. If you have float control on ios I belive there's audible pushback alarms there. But that's assuming your Bluetooth is rock solid on iPhone.

The bms on my pint x has decided to die would this be a good option to get back up and going

@TheWillDConstruct Жыл бұрын

It would allow you to run it without a BMS but I don't recommend doing that unless you are familiar with how packs like this need to be balanced in order to be safe. That being said I have seen a lot of FM packs have really good cell matching so if you want to be daring you can totally do it. I would just avoid ever charging it overnight.. And look towards getting an aftermarket BMS like an Xlite or the upcoming Zbms/PickleBms

Great video, thanks for taking the time to create this. What does your charge and ride setup consist of?

@TheWillDConstruct Жыл бұрын

Its this giant 40lbs lithium pack made of recycled cells. It would give a pack builder anxiety and it gives my shoulders soreness. It keeps my pint going for about 32 miles though so thats a plus. It is in the plans to create a V2 with new cells and high capacity. So stay tuned for whenever I end up making that.

Could you provide a diagram that shows the specific placement of the hall sensors and motor phase wires? I’m having issues with the controller not detecting hall sensors in the VESC app, and it is jittery when I attempt to run the motor. I think the hall sensors might be in the wrong spots in my connector. I don’t think it’s the motor having problems. It never had issues before attempting this. If anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be, any advice is appreciated!

Might seem like a dumb question, but which one is the balance connector?

@TheWillDConstruct 3 ай бұрын

The balance connector is the one with the many thin wires going into it. It actually also has some temperature sensors in there as well. The balance function requires that the BMS can measure each cells voltage independently thats why it has so many wires.

ima do this, but does it clap your battery?

@TheWillDConstruct 8 ай бұрын

In a later video I will go over how to specify the current limitations of the VESC. In general we specify the maximum peak current draw as the highest allowed. Overall yes, you could say it puts more strain on the battery. But I wouldn't call it out of spec scenarios. On pints Vsag is always an issue, here it is also an issue in the same way at lower than 50%. I wouldn't say it 'claps' the battery though.

Whats the reasoning behind the balance plug and main plug order?

@TheWillDConstruct 10 ай бұрын

Something about how the bms is designed. If I were to guess it's because the balance connector doesn't power the bms only the main power connector does. So when you connect the balance first maybe it starts trying to balance all the cells at the same time causing an overheat of the bms. I was also told it is dependent on duration so I think a heat problem is plausible.

Will this work using the Ubox Single V2 75v 200A VESC? I dont see the V1 in stock any more.

@TheWillDConstruct 2 ай бұрын

I would opt for the Ubox 80V as it still fits in the pint enclosure and is a newer revision with higher voltage rating. You dont see much benefit using the 200A version as the hypercore saturates around 120 amps and the pint battery wont be pushing that kind of wattage. I dont have a flip frame for the 80v but others have created mounting solutions for the 80v.
