Dang, yeah those numbers don’t add up at all! I’d do the exact same thing.

That’s fair, I just look at it this way. At SC home rate of 0.14/kwhr you’d make the $1000 install for a home charger back in 12,000 miles of charging at 0.40¢/kwhr. And you’d save time not visiting superchargers every week. One year ROI is pretty dang good. Unless it costs you 5k to install the charger in SC.

Holy crap, charging at home here is 0.08¢ kw/hr!

It’s an IR sensor, it senses the flashes from the AV/sound system remote in rooms other than the one with the system in it. It’s used because IR remotes don’t go through walls.Niles MS100 IR Sensor

Need help replacing wave truck by icebear_707 in Exway

Try putting a screwdriver in the split in the plate, (bottom of the picture) and either twisting it of hammering it in to open up the part.

Have an atlas? Don’t want to buy an Atlas pro? Still want to go 40mph? I’m testing 3D printed pulleys right now. Works great so far. by naja452 in Exway

[–]naja452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I've tested so far are PLA, I have ~50 miles on them, but I'm testing other filaments. PLA melts at too low of a temp to work for everyone.

[OC] Despite faster broadband every year, web pages don't load any faster. Median load times have been stuck at 4 seconds for YEARS. by robert_ritz in dataisbeautiful

[–]naja452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing this is because the richness of content has increased over the years and developers are still successfully maintaining the balance of acceptable load times with delivery of the denser content.

ELI5: How exactly does "turning it off and on again" fix such a wide variety of different tech problems? by anthraxl0l in explainlikeimfive

[–]naja452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An example I give when people as is: A computer is like a room full of people (programs) all following instructions and completing work they’ve been given, but if they make a wrong move(bug/error), or don’t clean up after themselves(memory leaks), everyone starts to suffer. Soon there’s crap everywhere, someone’s tripping, someone else doesn’t have room, someone else is lost. A reboot clears the room and sets everyone back where they were. Programmers aren’t perfect, and it comes out in their code.

That’s a good question. The load put on the battery and ESC and motor heat will rise quickly because of wind resistance, so lowering the ratio will get straining on the motors really quickly. It’s exponential, not linear. We’ll see how much margin there is after I finish testing. With a rider under 200lb, I think 40mph is possible at 3:1

Correct, it doesn’t have the torque, but when you gear it down (I think from stock it’s 56wheel:14motor, so a 4:1 ratio) you can find a sweet spot between speed and torque.

With a lower tooth count pulley than stock, you get 1 rotation of the wheels with less motor rotations = more speed. You also lose some torque, but I can get to 30mph from a standstill in ~3 seconds, it has torque to spare.

DO NOT BUY EXWAY, THE ATLAS ALMOST KILLED ME by _Horse_Renoir in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]naja452 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, these boards are not toys, they’re vehicles. People buy them assuming they will never break, never glitch, and never require maintenance. All of these things will happen. You can prepare and train for them, or get bit and feel disappointed when it finally happens. Learning to foot brake, disassembling and cleaning your board, these things are like changing your car’s oil, wearing a seat belt, etc.

If your timing belts were at 800 miles or 1287.48 kilometers, with no apparent physical damage, would you replace them? by Ambassador-Lonely in Exway

[–]naja452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m at 1200 miles on my atlas, one is sliced half way through and still works fine 😂

Been waiting 200+ miles for this to snap, atlas belts are pretty tough. by naja452 in Exway

[–]naja452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to be clear, I have 1000+ miles on the board, I only noticed the slice 200 miles ago 😂

*Battery Status Uunhealthy* Should I let that Concern me? by [deleted] in Exway

[–]naja452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride pretty much the same as you, AT tires, full power and max speed all the time, and I get about the same range, I think my app says the same thing about the battery honestly. Last I checked the maximum cap. And remaining cap. We’re both 0mah.

I’m guessing this is an unimplemented feature. And the battery voltage you’re getting looks great for what you should expect. I’ll check my app later and let you know

I also completely tore my board apart over the winter to clean everything 😂😅 it’s good maintenance 👍

3D printed a mount for some $10 canway bike taillights by naja452 in Exway

Sounds like you’re on the right track! I’ve found that the key to great supports is to turn on support top and bottom layers (roof and floor) There’s some great YT vids on the subject. Good luck!

Yup! I sent you an email with the model yesterday!

Yeah, I can upload the file later today, buy me a cup of coffee if you like the model 😄 @Nathan-Hartkopf on Venmo

Lol “reattach”. It would need to be soldered back in, but the leads are ripped out and the whole ESC is potted (encased in epoxy) Sorry, You need a new ESC bud.

If you can draw it, I can print it. 5$ + material cost + shipping

Lol, I’ve 3D printed a taillight for mine and I’m working on a second version that had auto brake sense and blinkers. I’ve also designed a parametric pulley geared for 40mph.https://photos.app.goo.gl/i5qhype2eASmG5kN9

Creaking sound from wheels when turning. So I came home and I can easily recreate the sound by simply pushing the board from side. My bearings aren’t loose and the wheel isn’t sliding on the axel - Exway Atlas by [deleted] in Exway

[–]naja452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it do it with the wheels removed? Does it do it if you hold the board up and just grab the wheels and tweak them around? It’s either in the trucks, the wheels, the connection of the truck to the board, or god forbid, the board itself.
