Sorry I am not native english speaker, I don't get your question "Can this board support 5-7 lbs?" :) if you ask what is a weight of the board , so its 6Kg. About the screws - yes I use flat ones so you canot feel them from the top of the board. Length is different from 16 mm to 25mm. Now I...

I made a little improvement to Alien Drive Kit, and now it works perfect.

Here is a source code for new controller algorithm. Features: Dynamic acceleration - faster in the beginning, slower in the end. Speed hold function - If "Z" button is pressed speed value are saved and board keeps the speed without joystick. And using joystick you can increase or decrease...

Yes this Metro-board controller looks interesting, I will try to code it for my board and see if it is easier to use acceleration in this way.

Gears I ordered from two places: http://www.beltingonline.com/ http://www.aliendrivesystems.com/

Thanks, No I do not have any problem because of the long cables. And no extra capacitors are used.

Some pictures from my DIY home photo session

No I do not have brakes. I am thinking to change ESC, but not sure which one i should get. Now then I changed battery from 10S to 6S I think I have more options to choose not expensive ESC. Maybe someone can recommend me good and not expensive ESC with braking ??? Thanks.

Battery holds pretty ok, I used a 4mm screws and I drilled a board so screws comes out on the top of the board. But after a 10 km ride i found out that they get little bit unscrewed because of vibration I guess. So I have to find some solution for that. Yes I am running 1x SK3 - 6364 - 245 kv...

For the battery enclosure I used about 1.2 mm plywood, I bought it here in Barcelona where I live now. To cut it I used a sharp knife (razor). And this battery enclosure is connected to the board using 10 screws, battery it self is not connected to the board. I have a 6S battery under it.

No, I disconnect battery from ESC and connect to charger.

Thanks, I left a battery cable out of the back side, so I can reach it with out unscrewing battery case. My board is not very soft, but I have some flexibility with the mounted battery case as well.

And here is an image how to connect wires , just in my case colors are mixed : white to A5, Red - GRND , Black - 3,3V , Blue - A4 If you use Arduino micro (like in my project) not UNO you have to change A5 and A4 to D2 and D3. And instead of a SERVO you connect to ESC.

Here is a source code for Wii Nunchuck Library that works with Arduino mirco ( Ardunio UNO is a different one) /* * Nunchuck -- Use a Wii Nunchuck * Tim Hirzel http://www.growdown.com * notes on Wii Nunchuck Behavior. This library provides an improved derivation of rotation angles from...
