Thanks. I did see the VESC port but I didn't use it because I didn't want to mess about with a laptop whilst trying to tune the controllers. If I was using the Xiaomi controllers to power another EV or non stock motors I would definitely use the VESC firmware as there is no auto config via SHFW.Absolutely stellar work Darren!
Love the 3dp balance wire guide.
There is a VESC compatible firmware for the stock controller; GitHub - Koxx3/SmartESC_STM32_v2: M365_MC_WB
I bought 5 controllers for cheap to play around with.
I like the looks of that MCPCB DC-DC, thanks for the tip.
What kind of cells you are using?
I am using the new low IR variant of the LG MJ1, these are OK for 12A peaks if configured correctly. I was originally going to use VTC5 but when I compared them side by side the loses at 12A were not so far apart that it would be worth sacrificing the added capacity and this gap would close even further as the SOC decays faster on the lower capacity VTC5.
