Endless Sphere

The screen name I have no problem with. Minor issue which IMO some are harping on far, far too much. I was once asked to come up with a more grandiose title for myself and choose "Exalted Lord High Grand Poobah." In a similar vein, there were some who did not get the joke. I have read a number of EG...

So - you have been here since 2008, and you know absolutely nothing about a $25,000 bribe being offered? I did not say to whom, but the offer was made. By Eric at Luna. Publicly. The crap we do not need is cover-ups and hiding of such actions. How about criminal threats of doxxing? By Eric at Luna. ...

Ron - I respect your knowledge and expertise, and appreciate the valuable additions you have made to the forum. HOWEVER - almost every male member of my family has been involved in retail sales going back to great-grandpa in his covered wagon in the late 1800s. I was taught to identify a "shill" alm...

Mid-drive in flat country? Mid-drive on a belt-drive bike? Hub motor on a carbon-fiber bike? 25 miles at 25 mph on 36v, 11AH? None are impossible, all have been done, but there are several good reasons to call these less than optimum for a first build. You should be familiar with ALL these issues be...

Linux has it's uses, I've tried it many times over the last couple decades. Basically usable, for minimal purposes. However, I work in IT, and as such it has absolutely no value to me. Also, for many types of work, it is just non-functional. Basic web-browsing and not much else, sure. Mainstream app...

Get rid of your graphics card drivers and install as generic, if this works OK nothing more needed. If more features needed then you will need to find a win10 graphics driver which works with your card and does not cause problems. You may need to disable auto updates for video card drivers. Look for...

Yes, I started reading here not long after those events. IIRC, the main objection was that the site would be used to generate a PROFIT, with somebody else in charge. What I would propose, is to run it as a non-profit, a simple banner ad on the front page only, to pay the bills. Everybody loves a fre...

How about approaching this problem from a different direction? Make a simple resizing script for a free program that will do the job, and make both available for download? Makes the upload easy and nearly idiot-proof, requires no changes to existing website code. Could also enforce all future upload...

It could be the camera angle, but that cell on the far right appears to be massively puffed.

Well, depending on what that size actually is, and the size of the wheels, and the weight of the trailer, and the size of your hills, with a new controller, that battery might work for you.

Amber, are you sure? Zooming way in I can make out what appears to be a stub or remnant piece that could be orange or red right at the plug end but nothing beyond that point and it appears to terminate immediately at the back of the connector. Looks to me like a wire that was cut or possibly torn of...

Gonna engage in some idle speculation here, based on extremely limited information and some educated guesses. We have what appears to be a set, one red, one black, of charge, or discharge wires, ending, on ONE end, in a modular plug. Then we have a second wire, a single black wire, also ending, on O...

You showed a picture with TWO connectors, both unplugged. 1. HOW DID THEY GET THAT WAY? 2. ARE THEY BOTH ON THE SAME SCOOTER? 3. CAN YOU PUT THEM BACK WHERE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY? You insist a wire is missing. Yet you show two unplugged wires. Which one do you think is missing? Did you get the charge...

Very hard to follow what the frig you are doing. Sounds like you have a scooter, with an XLR charging port. ALSO a battery charger, which has an XLR plug, which likely came with the scooter. You should clarify this point. It is important to know if the charger you are using is actually intended to c...

It might be useful to explain whether or not you have wired up a new charging port, if so what did the old port look like, and/or just how is it this "mystery wire" became disconnected in the first place? The original charger and original port should work just fine, mystery wire and all, UNLESS they...

Yes, throttles fail fairly frequently and Yes, they are particularly susceptible to water problems. Having a spare is a very good idea. However, in my experience (twice) and what I have read they usually recover after having time to dry out. You may want to try some compressed air, remove the thrott...

It is not very hard to take the cover off and then seal it up again, but it IS very easy to not seal it very well. Gasket material, carefully, and thoroughly, clean, carefully re-apply, remove excess, tighten, repeat. I do not have road salt but lots of rain and ocean air, I ran all my cables thru s...

I will take a wild guess that there were no problems at all BEFORE you dropped it, and the problem started fairly quickly the very next time you used it, AFTER you dropped it? This detail should be explained, at least you DID mention the likely cause of the problem. OR, did it work OK for an extende...

Have them buy all the parts, bring them to you, and do all the work while you direct, and explain that this will cover your butt and you will have to charge them more because it will take much longer since they "helped". OR - Sell it as a non-moving piece of art and the waiver would state the unit m...

Do please post on results with the battery kit. I have not yet seen a user review for Agniusm's (sp?) current kit, though his previous one for pouch cells was said to work well. Hopefully his business is going well and is very busy as he does not seem to post here as often as he used to. He seems to...

If you wanted to know how far you could sprint, would you see how far you can walk and attempt to extrapolate from that? You are taking a best possible case scenario for testing. Your load is inadequate to provide the information you are seeking. Series about 5-6 of those and you will get a decent b...

On a completely seperate issue, though possibly related, it is quite likely you have aggravated the problem with inadequate gearing for the motor. If your replacement for the motor drive gear was much larger than the original gear, as a bicycle sprocket would be, unless connected to a truly humungou...

Life is a series of learning experiences. You failed to do your research, and you bought a piece of crap from a shyster. It may well be a total loss, BUT - you can learn. The charger needs to be tested for correct output voltage. Your two highest cell groups are just short of 4.14. All the rest are ...

In theory, yes. In actual practice, it would depend if the LVC on either the controller, or the BMS, is 1.) set correctly for your battery, and 2.) what exactly constitutes "damage". This second parameter is a variable, and becomes a matter of just exactly how much degradation to your battery that y...

Interesting tidbit on the website. 2-year warranty. It is NOT necessary to send the broken part back, just pictures or video, and one more thing. "the serious number". This is the brand of my 5 year old motor, I chose this brand largely because I could not find any breakage reports. None. Anywhere. ...
