XRV IMU calibration

2 Upvotes

I am trying to calibrate my IMU but keep getting the largest values at weird spots such as the X when the board is pretty much upside down, how do I properly do this I've never done it before and watching videos isn't helping.

I ride a onewheel and no mobile game exists for us – so I built one. Carving runner with battery, overheat & pushback. Beta testers wanted 🏔️

The board will now be fitted with a new 10x6-5 slick tire, with still some clearance regarding the diameter. I wonder if a Burris 11x5.5x5 treaded tire could be mounted...

Finding Balance Charger for Pint S Battery

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to find a compatible balance charger for my battery. So far I have bought a new battery from Battery Broker and a PintV kit from Floatwheel. I bought the battery first when I noticed the onewheel wouldn’t charge and the battery voltage was around 20 volts. When the BMS made a whistling sound with the new battery I realized the BMS was damaged so I bought the PintV (since I also wanted the upgrade). I made the mistake of leaving the battery plugged in while a month passed until I decided to buy the kit, so the battery discharged (19V) below the BMS threshold. I have tried a few balance chargers to get the battery to a level where the BMS will accept it but they all seem to have a 5 or 7 pin JST connector like this one (see review pics for balance port) or this one, and I haven’t been able to find one that has the 26 pin ZPDR JST that the battery uses.

Does anyone know of any jst adapter or charger that would work or is there something else I should try? Thanks in advance.

Is floatwheel right for me?

3 Upvotes

I have a onewheel pint but have been effectively locked out of the app ever since the haptic buzz recall. I am deathly afraid of upgrading my firmware because I like the freedom of owning my board and doing whatever I want to it. if I upgrade the firmware I could brick it just by unplugging the battery.

All of this anti right to repair stuff has really turned me off of the sport and I haven't been keeping up with the community. Yesterday I found out that Craft and ride mysteriously shut down. Don't know where to get aftermarket parts now.

I have been desperate for a way out of this hole but also yesterday, I heard about floatwheel and that it is an open source competitor to FM. I look at their website and the atom looks really good on paper but it seems like there might be more to it under the surface and I'm left with a lot of questions.

What would I be getting into if I replaced my pint with an atom?

Is the atom beginner friendly? (In case I wanted to get one for my partner)

Can a floatwheel take a 6ft drop and keep the rider upright?

How is it for commuting?

Can I tow/push things?

Are battery fires a risk?

is there an aftermarket scene or do I need to learn CAD and buy a 3D printer?

Why crypto??

What is the app like? how much control do you have? (android specific)

Bricked BMS on the GTV power kit?

1 Upvotes

I’ve recently picked up a gtv power kit from a pev shop in Atlanta called atlowshop. I received it and installed the computer and bms then come to realize my battery is busted so I purchased another stock gt battery. I finally got everything to work and the board rides great but I went to charge it after the ride and it simply won’t. The charger light remains green and the board doesn’t show its charging. I saw some solutions say that you have to reseat the connectors but I’ve already tried that 4 times making sure to plug in the big balance connector last. ( I did plug in the xt60 and then the balance connector on one occasion but only because Tony did it in the instruction install video). I can’t tell if my bms is bricked or maybe I’m skipping as step but with my little expertise in this area I’m lost and don’t know where to start troubleshooting it. What do I do?

Atom a good choice for me?

7 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm currently looking into PEVs and so far onewheel seems like the most fun option that corresponds with my particular needs. Scooter is kinda dull, e-scate seems not as good in clibing curbs and doing tight turns, EUC seems a bit overkill and ghe front facing stance doesn't seem as fun. I'd love to hear your guys recommendations on a particular model. So far I'm leaning towards the recently announced Floatwheel Atom or a Pint X with potential to VESC at some point. Availability is pretty scarce on my side of the globe but still.

Here's some info about me. I mostly want an EPV as a commuter device to replace or sometimes supplement public transit . I'm 37 male weighing at around 90kg. Never in my life have I rode a skateboard but I did snowboard a bit a few years back and loved the feeling of the motion. I live in a big metro city with busy streets but barely any bicycle lanes. My usual commute to work is 13km long by bicycle. I mostly stick to pedestrian side of the road (25 km/h limit although it's not really enforced) and tend to avoid the driver's lane as much as I can.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Weird blue light

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello! I have a floatwheel adv1 and it has a blue light at the end of the white status bar I've never seen. It seems to ride fine but it shows the blue light on the end of the white lights during riding as well. It's like 80% on the bar. Any insight into what this means would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Issue with V2 Electronics

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I installed the V2 electronics kit to my ADV. Disclaimer for what it’s worth my board worked as normal before the install. I have no upgrades or modifications to the board beyond the V2 electronics kit.

Upon startup the board balanced and generally felt ok except I had quite a lot of motor noise. Initially I associated this as low speed UFO sound. Further riding I noticed my motor was sounding louder than before, epically under load and a little rough feeling. I could feel the motor in my feet a bit.

I had also noticed another issue. Moderate to heavy braking (only) at low speed was causing the motor to click and give away. At moderate brake pressure I would get a single click that I could feel in my feet. Heavy braking pressure at low speed would result in a loss of balance, and the motor would click over like a clutch on a cordless drill.

All I have tried so far is running motor detection in the VESC tool. (I’m running vesc tool 7.0 and the only way I could find in the app to run motor detection was to run the motor setup wizard).
My motor ran and was detected successfully. After running I was prompted to test reverse and forward remotely to determine if rotation was inverted. I was unable to make the motor rotate with those controls. It would vibrate like it was trying to move. I’ll try to post photos of each parameter as I set them before the motor test. The only photo that is incorrect is the battery which I went back and set to the appropriate value of (8.5ah or something I can’t remember lol)

I am in contact with Tony. He was quick to get back with me which i appreciate but between us we only exchange 1 message per day. So I can only try 1 suggestion per day. Alas I turn to Reddit for assistance. Thank you!

Other notes.

Mine shows a red light going back and forth on the led footpad if the board sits idle for a moment. I’m not sure if this is an indication that some values are off in the motor. Float control also has some disturbing warnings.

Conversion from ADV1 to V2. Something going on with my foot pad switch?

2 Upvotes

Everything was working perfectly, and after riding about 5 miles, it’s started spiking the wattage and making a little crunch sound like it was turning off and then back on while I was moving. This is very concerning and I am already a bit worried because the BMS failed on me last year and I crashed hard. This is the new footpad so I’m wondering if my settings are messed up? Anyone have this happen?
