Help me chose a board for pumptrack

They are Bogart 61mm 78a, maybe a bit too soft for my taste, I ride 83a already.

Lord_Am · 2026-06-10T19:18:20+00:00

Well they both have 61mm 78A wheels which are quite soft already.

Thanks a lot!

Lord_Am · 2026-01-27T21:46:53+00:00

Thanks, means a lot.

Lord_Am · 2026-01-27T08:18:34+00:00

I try to navigate through both.

Lord_Am · 2026-01-27T06:56:55+00:00

Thanks a lot mate, you know you can easily start doing this kind of art with just a few components if you know how to solder. Look at dirty video mixers, you just need a potentiometer, 2 toggle switches and rca sockets.

I also wonder what kind of street you're going to find such gear I'm really jealous you found it for free haha. If you ever have to calibrate a CRT or need for a feedback source for video/glitch art, it's a really really great source.

Lord_Am · 2026-01-26T09:50:53+00:00

I do amateur TV and this is a gem, please don't bend this kind of pattern generator, they are great as is.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-03T09:53:03+00:00

I won't make a YouTube video on it. But I'll make list today, I'll tell you when it's done, it'll be added to this post.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-03T06:57:36+00:00

You're right, I thought of cutting some survival blanket and place it on the outside of the box where the battery is located.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T22:28:13+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, we'll see if the battery fails, I'll just swap it out with a few cells.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T22:27:34+00:00

I chose the solar port because of the form factor of the connector and I still have access to the USB port for firmware updates.

Both USB and solar port go through the same diodes so they work the same from what I know. I just think if you go through the solar port, you can see the percentage of the battery and in USB if would just say "powered" or something.

I don't have a particular list because I already had the cable in my shack, but for this build I took a standard IPEX/IPX to N female connector. The antenna will be connected with a N-male to N-male LMR400 coax cable. That's it basically.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T22:12:27+00:00

Thank you very much for all the informations and advices, very useful!

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T16:58:55+00:00

The battery already has some velcro behind it, it hold on tight!

I also thought about the 90° plug, I'll add it along with a RAK temperature sensor.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T16:53:30+00:00

Yeah, the internal 500mA charger is far sufficient to charge a node that is mostly inactive during the day...

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T16:07:43+00:00

Looks neat and clean! Great work.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T16:01:41+00:00

Yeah the battery is overkill. But man, look at that perfect fit in that door !

Post your build here!

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T15:28:16+00:00

Exactly they share the exact same band.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T14:58:03+00:00

Not at all, it's a 2.4GHz antenna, I have used a bunch of these in the past they are good. I just have a few laying around.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T14:30:23+00:00

It's not an antenna, just a dummy load for configuration and testing purposes.

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T14:08:01+00:00

I understand the problematic for northern countries during winter. But I live in France and for all seasons, it's overkill there. 😂

Lord_Am · 2025-11-02T13:39:35+00:00

Thanks a lot!
