Long Range E-Board Build 16Amp 6S Madness

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Ok, first things first.
I think I have read most of the threads here on the Endless-sphere Forums and thought it was time to give something back..

So My E-Board Build is as follows

Build constraints:

Single motor / ESC combo
Already purchased 34t and 12t pulleys.
Already purchased 80mm wheels
Discreet controller
Long range
And fast!

Motor Kv needs to be calculated for my already determined gear ratio.. I took a rough guess based everyone else's ratios.

Ok so it's math time..

I've calculated the motor "kV" I needed by using the following formula. ( I wanted a theoretical top speed without compensating for losses of around 30+ KM/H

Formula: (Ki *V*C*60/1000)/R

Ki = 1/kv (RPM per Volt)
V = Battery Voltage
C = Pi(3.14) * wheel diameter in mm (distance traveled per revolution.) then converted back Meters
R = Gear Ratio = 34/12 = 2.83

Meters/minute to km/h conversion is = x60/1000

Ki: 260
V: 3.7Vx6 = 22.2V
C: 3.14x80=251.2mm per revolution.(must be in meters .2512M
R: 34teeth/12teeth = 2.83 (to two decimal places)

(260x22.2x.2512x60/1000)/2.83

Max theoretical speed without any losses factored in is = 30.74 KM/H

This calculation works as I'm hoping for a "real" top speed of 15 to 20 KM/H
I know some guys want 30 a 40 KM/H but this is madness of a skateboard! Crap, 10 clicks is fast last time I checked
I want a cruiser anyway. Hopefully I can throw in my headphones for some nice indie listening too

Ok so I now have my motor Kv sorted.

Now it's Shopping time.

I ordered most of the following items from Hobby King and a Bit of Ebaying for the ESC, Wireless Nunchuck and the Drive-train Components.

[*]Turnigy SK3 Aerodrive 260kv Motor.
[*]Hobbywing EZRUN 150A Electronic Speed controller.
[*]2x Zippy 8A 6S Lipos made into a custom 16A 6S2P Pack!
[*]34t timing pulley,
[*]12t pulley.
[*]1x ardunio nano board
[*]Logic3 Wireless Nintendo Wii Nun-chuck


Time for Progress Photos. I have since received my HK goodies in the mail. Damm fast might I add. Hobbyking's shipping to Australia has got much faster these days.

Also you will notice that I have made a trip done to my local Engineer to Machine up my gears and to make a mounting spacer.

Stay Tuned more progress to come. I also Must pay respect to Mantas for his Code for the Wii Nunchuck speed controller.

Can't wait to see it unfold. Please do share more info on how you setup your wii remote. I am definitely interested in actually setting up a Wii controller for my board as well just haven't done my thorough research yet. You should also get some crazy distance with the 16ah.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

 

[Murfix]

I'd love to compare your range to the range of my 17.4 Ah MTB!

I haven't come to test the full range yet, but I will soon...

Heya Murfix, wow your board is a monster. What sort of rum times have you been getting? Defiantly would be intresting to compare max Times and speeds. Id imagine your board might be a bit more hungry than mine though..

Will do, im looking for some aluminum plate to build the motor moumt next And will keep the photos and info coming. Re the Wii remote. Ill re post Mantas' Code tonight if you like. The trickiest problem I had getting it all to work was setting up thw wiichuck.h library in arduino. Also had problems with the Z button hold function not working, but I figured it out as the joystick needed calibration to a zero vaule center.

 

[torqueboards]

What pieces modules do you need as well for it? Do you have any links that helped you?

What pieces modules do you need as well for it? Do you have any links that helped you?

http://www.instructables.com/id/Wii-Nunchuck-as-general-purpose-controller-via-Ard/step4/Connections-between-Nunchuck-and-Arduino/

With the Bluetooth Version you wire up the receiver as if it was the cable end of a Wired controller.

Hope this helps

 

[Murfix]

Heya Murfix, wow your board is a monster. What sort of rum times have you been getting? Defiantly would be intresting to compare max Times and speeds. Id imagine your board might be a bit more hungry than mine though..

I haven't tested the full range/run time yet. Longest trip I did was about 1 hour and I did about 8km. That was on a 7s lipo system (so not the full 17.4Ah), through forests and while starting/stopping all the time so that's not really comparable information. Anyways, I still had 3.75V on the cells afterwards.

Max speed: same thing, I got to 36km/h on a 7s system with cells charged at 3.7V and power limit in the alien ESC @75%. I don't know if I'll ever know the max speed, since my max was at 39km/h downhill and I don't think I'll dare go much faster.

I'll generate some more useful information in the coming weeks

 

[torqueboards]

Awesome. What arduino board did you use?

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Awesome. What arduino board did you use?

I tested on my uno with a esc motor and nunchuck, But im going to finish it on a nano V3 just waiting on some header sockets. I don't want to solder the arduino straight to the circuit board. I've made that mistake before..

 

[voodoojar]

So you've tested that sketch and it works? Where is the wiiChuck library and why doesnt your sketch include the wii library? Did you just rename it it looks like the same library I'm using.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Heya voodoojar.

It most certainly works for me I've tested it with a motor and esc off my quadcopter.

The library is up in my earlier post called wii.h just copy it to a text file and rename the extention to .h and put in your ardunio library and it should all work good luck.

 

[voodoojar]

it might work for you but you're missing libraries in your post that you probably have in your library folder. You need more than the wii.h to make this work so the post is a bit misleading. I did a how to and posted all the files zipped as well as how to wire it up -- http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=57316

I had a Look over you code / libraries and there is more in your example. I've tested my code and all works exactly the same. For what I can tell the extra libraries must be for the gyroscope / Accelerometerfunctions which arent used. I would suggest that other people use your code as it is complete.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Progress

I got busy this weekend with my jigsaw, some files and my Soldering iron...

Just need to find someone to Tig weld the mount now.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

I finally Got My Mount Welded Up.




This thing is amazing! I strapped everything to the board for a quick test run.

Haven't pushed it to it's limits yet. the motor didn't get hot after a 20min run.

Hoping to Mount everything up properly tomorrow.

Stay tuned I'll do some range and speed tests once Iv'e completed the build.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Nearly Complete.

Iv'e mounted the battery and esc with some alumimum strapping and self tapping screws.
Just need to make a cover for the electronics.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

I took it out for a spin and rode for and 1:30 and did 14.90kms. So much fun!! I hit a top speeds of 32kmph when doing sprints and the area I was riding wasn't completely flat. I'm surprised that I was dead on with my calculations. I was unsure how much more battery capacity was remaining so I put it on charge. and it only charged up with 79800mA. I had only used half of the 16000mAH pack so based on these numbers should be able to ride for 3 hours straight with a possible distance around 30 Kilometers. That's madness! The gearing works well. The motor does lose sync from a standing start but only briefly. I always kick off anyway as it feels more natural when accelerating. No heat issues with the motor or ESC. Just need to wire up my wireless nunchuck and install a watt meter, and a cover housing all the electronics .

more range testing to follow.

 

[BLDC-ADDICT]

Just cruisin...

 

[superpef]

Ain't that fun?!
