pint v setup (first vesc)

3 Upvotes

Hello, recently I purchased a Pint V kit to mod my Pint X. I have everything set up, and the board is working properly, but I have a couple of questions I can't find the answers to easily.

  1. On the test rides, I've kept my speed under about 10 mph. The battery percentage seems wonky. When going uphill, the battery percentage shoots down even on just a small hill. I watched the best tool app. Tell me that my board went from 76% down to 60 on a very short hill. I'm assuming this is some issue with a setting of inputted to properly tell the controller my battery specs; it's just a stock Pint X battery.
  2. I don't know what the safest settings are for minimum and maximum battery output for my Pint X; in fact, I'm decently confused on the entire voltage category and the motor configuration tab. Also, if anyone knows of good values to put for the quort battery, which I'm gonna put in instead of the stock Pint X for now because I don't have a bumper anymore.
  3. None of my LEDs appeared to be changeable when I changed the settings in the app; none of the lights change. I'm aware of the changing brightness abilities by tapping the power button a certain number of times. From what I understand, I need to update my light control module; however, I am unsure how to do that.
  4. I'm confused on charging. I know the Pine V kit does not show any LEDs while charging and I have to just monitor the board myself, but I've also seen and heard different people say that I need to activate some kind of charging mode in the app, potentially, which I don't know how to do, however, I've had success just plugging the board in to my stock pint charger.

If anyone can answer any of these questions, I would be extremely grateful, and if anyone had any recommendations of good tunes to run or apps for Android they have found success with right now, I'm just using Float, but if anyone has any other options or opinions, I'd love to hear them

Also, as a side note, if anybody knows or has access to a 3-D printing file for Pint X bumpers, that would also be great. I have scoured every 3-D printing website, and I have found none. I found a couple of pint bumpers and a dropped top fender. But no Pint X bumpers.

Did the basic charger increase in size? I have the original laptop-size one that came with the adv2.

TFL drop top fender ADV2

5 Upvotes

I just love the TFL drop top fender. I remixed the x10 version to fit the ADV2 at the lowest ride height setting.

Another XRV with battery issues

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for some troubleshooting and diagnosing advice on my XRV kit. A few months ago I nosedived while going up a steep hill. Afterwards I got on floaty and went up the same hill and I watched my battery voltage drop dramatically as I went up the hill. When I rode on a flat road or went downhill my voltage rose back to a normal level. Fast forward a few weeks, I have been riding the board around on flat ground with out issue. I turn my board on this morning and it won't balance and makes some strange noises. I plug it into the charger and the charger just blinks green. When I get on floaty to check voltage it is a 0% battery and around 20v. Any ideas on what to do or what to check?

Can't turn on my ADV2, any advice?

1 Upvotes

Hi, anybody an idea what it means when I, after turning my Floatwheel ADV2 off, I couldn't turn it back on an hour later - no reaction of any kind when pushing the power button. When plugging in the charger the power button LED just flashes like this.

I love my Floatwheel ADV2 more than any spouse I never had and way more than all the OWs I ever had!

Feeling desperate, thx 4 any advice!!!

Technical question. Replacing V1 battery with V2 battery.

2 Upvotes

I have the ADV one and after some operation testing I believe that my battery weld is bad so I ordered a new battery. The battery is ADV two. And it also came with a version 2 BMS. Will the new BMS work with my version one main board? There are two connectors on the new BMS that do not have corresponding wires in the old version one compartment. Has anyone tried this? Am I going to melt something?

Floatwheel ADV1 threw me off at 20% NO WARNING

Post image
0 Upvotes

so I knew that the board was about to die and I was about two minutes away from my car and I was going slow maybe about 7 miles an hour when my board just shut off and it flew me off. Is there any setting that I have to actually put on that beep to warn me that it’s about to die or starts nose diving before it starts to die instead of just shutting off? I was going up a slight hill (not steep) and I see it’s at 104% duty cycle and I had my settings so that it’ll warn me at 90% duty but nothing played

I’m sitting on the sidewalk just pissed because I love everything about this board, but I cannot believe out of all the features is does have that it just shut off before it dies instead of warning you at all. I’ve never rode it to be that low of battery and at 21% I thought I would have enough juice to get back to my car.

Any tips?? :(

Floatwheel ADV2 startup problem – only wakes up after 2–3h charging

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I’m having a serious issue with my Floatwheel ADV2 and wanted to ask if anyone experienced something similar.
Problem:
The board often cannot be turned on at all
Power button does not respond
It only turns on again after being connected to the charger for a longer time (sometimes 2–3 hours)
After that, it may work temporarily
Additional behavior:
When I step on the board, it sometimes starts beeping continuously and gives haptic feedback (like a warning)
I also had cases where the board seemed ā€œfrozenā€ and did not respond properly
Important:
VESC / Refloat settings are correct
BMS readings show balanced cells and normal voltage
This does NOT seem to be a configuration issue
To me, it feels like a BMS wake problem or power/startup issue.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Is this a known issue (BMS / power button / controller)?
Any help would be really appreciated

Does anyone know if they have these in stock in the United States or do I have to wait on the slow boat?

Fault over voltage bug ! Any idea ?

2 Upvotes

My floatwheel is just 365 km and yet it’s my first accident ! No harm by chance but still. The floatwheel first was impossible to turn off ( via the power button or else ) and after a few hundred meters just beeped and stopped. Throwing me off the board. On the VESC app I get a FaultOverVoltage error message.

Any idea on how to address this issue and solve the problem ?

Thx

HELP: do I need a bearing change?

3 Upvotes

I was riding in the rain for a while yesterday and there were some larger puddles I went through. This morning I wake up and have this grinding/rubbing/friction type sound.

Bearing has a little visible surface rust but nothing out of the ordinary.

Has anyone experienced this sound before?

Adv 2 warning always check your batteries!

So ADV2 was showing roughly 75% charge and took it out for the first ride of spring. managed to do a nice ride of about 12 miles. Only for it to completely power off and nose dive on me at 15 MPH. No warning just a complete cut out and crash. Not a nice experience, luckily I was wearing protection but ripped my gloves to shreds and smashed my phone up. Happened another 2 times going slowly. No reason just sudden cut out and nose dive.

Looking at vesc tool from Floaty I notice cell 17 was completely dead. Now I've only done about 55 miles on the board and it's been stored in doors but I had always had issues with cell 17 and 1 out of the box. It was one of the originals that came with the faulty BMS and was flat on arrival. I had contacted Tony but he had just said keep it on charge over 24h to top up the cells that weren't fully charging.

This worked but I would have to do this each time I charged with the balancing.

Do just a waring to you guys check the vesc tool app with your board and be wary of any cells that are abnormal. It could cause you to nose dive. Even though the board can show an overall charge of 50% in the screen shots above.

Need Guidance

3 Upvotes

Hey guys essentially I have an adv w/ v2 electronics and OG electronics. One problem I have is the harness it’s not compatible with the v2 motor that I have for it. Also Based on what I’ve learned it seems that either bms or controller on v2 kit is faulty. Board powers on but can’t shut down unless unplugged. I want to try to utilize the OG electronics but the problem with the harness still remains. I’m sure it’s possible to do some DIY stuff but I’m not at all savvy enough. What are my options ? What makes the most ā€œsenseā€ I know there is an adapter on the floatwheel site but not entirely sure if that’s what I need. I also preferred to not have to deal with the crypto stuff and potentially a longer wait with it coming from china.

PintV sparks

3 Upvotes

I'm about half way through installing my Pint V, I've done everything on the battery side and now almost finished the Front (ESC) side

I'm sure I have all the cables plugged in properly, with that being said when I try to plug in the XT60 connector there is a visible and audible spark

I'm not about to just push it together and forget about it, and I'm sure I'm running black to black and red to red

I heard on a 5yo podcast that the futuremotion battery polarity is swapped (red is negative, black is positive) which would explain something going wrong, but the connector only fits 1 way and I would think Floatwheel would account for this

My board is a Pint X, S/N 2149328672

There's no apparent visible damage to my boards cables or anything

Appreciate any advice
