same 😅

Amazon links in the description in the notion site (too many links, exceed KZfaq description word count). I will compile them all into a shopping list if that’s more convenient

Wouldn’t be possible without your help 🤙

Thanks for the correction! That spark is the bane of my existence and now I understand it better 😛

Spark is from the in-rush current as the capacitors on the VESC charge up. XT90S cannot handle the high voltage in rush current .. The internal resistor inside the connector cannot handle the power and the antispark feature stops working after a ~dozen connections when the tiny resistor blows.

@@benlay750 I think some people have managed to replace the resistor with one that can handle the power long-term, for swappable systems, external batteries, etc.

That is a really important tip!!

When you Google "Thor300 pinout" or lil focer pinout and go to Google images there is a pinout for every vesc controller

If enough people want a video about this I’ll make it. TLDR: Manufacture’s website usually has pin outs. ADC 1, ADC 2and 3.3v goes to footpad. 5v h1 h2 h3 gnd temp goes to hall sensor. Power button bare minimum is to have a latching switch bridge SW(switch) and ground. You can probably find more detailed wiring diagrams on discord if you need to get a board working now

This is the video I have been waiting for! I seriously have been starring at a lil' foccer on my workbench, for the past X amount of months, just beckoning me to assemble it. I would have soldered my power port vertically had you not suggested to do it horizontally. Thanks for the concept of "pre-tinning" the iron as well as the wire/final resting place. Even if you feel like your video is a beginner video, it should encourage others that are more advanced to chime in. This skill set is so vital and clearly not limited to DIY OneWheel. This skill set is transferable to all things that use solder. Where I get lost is when people talk about the lead % in various forms of solder. Apparently your solder will be weak in the future if the lead quality/quantity in the solder is weak and or Chinese. Or so I heard researching my 2012 Ford F-150 Stereo. People in the forums with similar problems cited weak lead in the solder contacts being the culprit. So this skillset could help me, as well as others, resolve similar issues. I state that fact just in case FutureMotion is monitoring. They think all we want to do is see them brought to their knees. On the contrary, everyone benefits when there is available competition to innovate, including FM.
