Electric skateboard remote

Hey, wanted to share my project. Worked on a electric skateboard remote control. Improved alot of code from AutinumOnes inital remote. There is still alot of work todo like porting VESC UART lib to Espruino.
It features, cruise controll, accurate voltage readings, throttle indication, different modes, magnetic charging, init screen, lock / unlock.
I would really like to look at the connection strength but haven't managed that yet.

Very nice!!!

Is it an off the shelf electric skateboard, or have you built that too?

This is a project I've wanted to have a go at myself.

It's great that you took the time to add the parts list in the repo. Will surely be useful to others wanting to have a go at this!

This is awesome - thanks! It's really fun to see the progression from your post in http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/330786/ as well.

The board build itself is amazing - I love how those batteries fit :) https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/haya-12s4p-dual-vesc6-12fifties-first-build-6374/91605/4

Did you know I'm giving a £20 off Espruino orders to anyone that puts their Espruino project on one of the main project sharing sites? http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/332911 Not sure if you've done it already, but if you want to you could chuck some of your pictures and a very short description on Instructables and I'll email a discount code for the shop to you?

Just to add - not sure if you've seen these but you can get 18650 cells with a micro USB charger built in, for instance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/NITECORE-NL1826R-Micro-USB-2600mah-18650-Battery/18010225703

If you do another build it might mean you can avoid having to cram a charger board in there as well (although the positioning of the micro USB could be a pain).

Pretty cool thing!

Thanks ! Its a board a forum member on electric-skateboard.builders has made. Link to board

Thanks ! i will definitely check that out ! I'm not Shane.au.wade by the way ;) i improved his initial code.
