Looks really nice. Is that a 1000mAh cell?
Those are nice little cells, those 20C 1000mAh ones, I have a few laying around. Low internal impedance on them, about 20 mOhms. The 1400mAh ones I'm using are closer to 30 mOhms, just under the wire for me. That's pretty tight on run time for me though. Even the ones I'm using are about the lowest I can get away with. It goes fast when you run higher outputs. But, I love having a small mod. Took me a couple years of mod building to appreciate that.
Thanks to my buddy who gifted me the ZMax controller, I was able to make this mod.
Very nice D!Now, let's see what ya make with the next one?Should be interesting....
I just barely was able to squeeze my box closed. the Thickness of the batt was 6mm. Cell Size: 63 x 34 x 6mm perfect fit for this mod.
There are 13 Klimax kits on hold, so somebody could drop out at the last minute.You want to added to the back-up list if somebody drops, fsors?I've got quite a few of the dual 18650 enclosures left if you wanna build the OKR or PTR controller mods?There are no extra Zmax V2 controllers left though, 100 of them sold out in about 6 hours.A second larger shipment was 'in the works', but I just didn't see enough interest to cover the risk of investing in a second shipment.
I would be interested in making something with this controller.If it ever goes on sale someone, please post where and how much. BTW, great work BT. Nice form size
Contact member Rusalka at the ECF for anyone wanting a V2 Zmax controller.He has quite a few that he's willing to sell.
Sounds good. Really like the case that it's in.The cut-out for the display and button came out spectacular
Is there a cutout on the slide cover?
But I really like the small and heavier duty case that Dave used. I had put in an order for a couple already.
Correct.A hand-made acrylic window is being crafted.I'm also looking at ways to redesign the enclosure itself to see if it can be modified to seal the electronics end separate from the sliding door....and have the door slide down only exposing the batteries.
It wont work that way..the door slides from the top down..I was looking already at separating the door like that but it would take major modifications and magnets that dont have the space with the dual 18650s in it...really just not worth all the trouble with this case...heck...just bending the acrylic is a pita without a very very well temperature controlled oven and vacuum molds
I considered that but I was looking for a cleaner look with the case finished...basically I tight fit the acrylic into the opening after tinting it so it looks more finished and can be spot glued..
Oh no, I appreciate the input...anything that makes it easier is always a good thing..I was just saying why I didnt go that route...mostly ascetics..
anybody used a sigelei zmax v2 controller with this? was thinking of ripping apart mine and doing this, using a hord switch...
Should work. but..... I wouldn't take apart a perfectly good zmax unless there was something wrong with it.
oh, a follow up, i'm seeing on the pics that the chipset uses a tact switch... noobie question, how would you wire a horn switch after removing the tact?
That got me the first time I used a tactile smaller than 6mm square. I assumed the poles were top and bottom, they were not. They were right and left. Now I always check them first.
You can remove the tact or leave it. Wire in the horn switch where the tact was wired or tack solder across the tact switch.Looking at the controller horizontally, use either the top 2 legs of the tact or the bottom 2 legs. NOT top and bottom.
i think i'll remove it... so if the chipset was horizontal, I'll have to wire it ACROSS...i'm still waiting for my zmax switch to give out, though.. gotta get me a good case lol
Breaktru, was the Li-poly charging board used in the Zmax box an earlier version from Adafruit or a different one? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'll keep looking.
Damn that's cheap, how do they do that?Here's an active listing.I even found a review on it.
IN are for a supply, if you don't want to use a miniUSB connector.BreakTru, have you tried to apply a load (fire an atty) while charging is in progress?
This is not a passthru.
