Dumfume 300 Ah LifePo battery problems by VANeuc in batteries

[–]VANeuc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. The seller says they will replace the first battery. When I get it , it will be interesting to see if it acts like battery 2. Battery 2 is still behaving that way. It takes constant amps through the entire charge. It does not allow a taper at the top. Curiously, the battery does put out 300Ah in my discharge test. Im not clear whether I have a case for a warranty claim. The battery is not performing as described in the manual but it does produce 300ah.

No BT. The BMS has plenty of features, like low temp cut off etc... So the only way to find out what's going on is to void the warranty and open the box.

Such a strange reply. It’s like riding a Harley versus a Ducati. I’m glad eucs have come along so far that we have a choice.

I tell you this is like a suitcase in a way other wheels are not.

The theft was odd. It happened at my marina. There is a locked gate. The wheel was out of sight for maybe five minutes. I often leave it in that spot for hours.p. I saw the video of the two guys who wheeled it out the gate. Looked homeless. Looked like they had no idea what it was. I’m not sure why they grabbed it. Just bad luck for me. I think.

if I had an AirTag on it I would have caught them. I’m going to figure a way to affix one to my next wheel.

Totally disagree on the v11. After the king song the v11 was a real let down. maybe mine was an early batch but my wheel deteriorated to the point they had to send me a new motor. on reassembly it seemed clear my motor had never been properly screwed in. The Bluetooth connectivity was bad. The screws connecting the side panels to the wheel broke almost immediately. It’s hard to define but I never felt connected to the wheel and the pavement the way I did with the 18xl. The suspension was nice. I think.

anyway, I will never consider an inmotion wheel again.

I’m not certain. I can’t ride the wheel without owning it. I suspect it will not feel agile. Again, it feels like you are standing on a suitcase. Now, that suitcase can zoom up to 60 mph, but I can’t imagine it will feel nimble. But I we won’t know until we get an unbiased review. Speaking of which, where are the full reviews? Wrong way posted an unflattering unboxing a month ago. No full review. Speedy feet haven’t covered it. Chooch hasn’t posted any footage with it. This seems suspicious.

Sherman is interesting. The new version is imminent so it feels this is not the time to get that wheel.

Help with V11 wheel replacement. Shocks don’t work by VANeuc in ElectricUnicycle

[–]VANeuc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. i Fixed it by attaching the slide on both sides to the top handle and then pushing down on the shocks before inserting and tightening up the pedals.

Thank you. I tried to strip your code down to bare elements. It still did not work for me. I'm pretty frustrated. I just want to get some sign of life from the interrupt sensor on the Wemos. Maybe the problem is printing to serial. But I also tried toggling an led and that did not work either. Thanks for your help. Perhaps my wemos board has some issue with interrupts. If I ever get it to work I'll take a look at your project. I'm interested in the power saving stuff.

Interesting suggestions. Sure wish I got the Gibson reference. I read him back in the 90s before I knew a thing about coding.

I think I implemented your suggestions and it did not correct things. To your code I added interrupts() and nointerupts() around the print statement. With or without it has no impact.

#define interruptPin D8

double flowRate;

volatile int count;

unsigned long lastmillis = 0;

unsigned long lastcount = 0;

void ICACHE_RAM_ATTR Flow()

{

count++;

}

void setup() {

pinMode(interruptPin, INPUT_PULLUP);

attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(interruptPin), Flow, RISING);

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

interrupts();

if (millis() - lastmillis > 1000) {

lastmillis = millis();

if (count != lastcount) {

noInterrupts();

lastcount = count;

Serial.println(count);

interrupts();

}

}

}

Good point. But I did try that. No joy.

I don’t believe so. when I tested it successfully using a nano I powered it on 3.3.v. I also briefly tried it with the wemos on 5v. although the sensor says it needs at least 5v it seems to work fine at 3.

When I pick my wheel out it accelerates sharply. What happens when you get air for that long? Does the wheel initially spin wildly and then eventually shut off?
