    In this video, I made an antweight flipper (150g) robot with a custom ESP32-C3 based control board, as an alternative to the Malenki-Nano. Named the 'AntC3', it has double the motor current output, and can be controlled by any other ESP chip, in this case, the ESP32-S3 inside of a T-QT Pro Lilygo development board. If you're reading this, make sure to like, subscribe, and comment down below for your chance to win the next iteration of my AntC3 board when I hit 4K subscribers, which will include an accelerometer + gyroscope combo for more accurate movements. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video.

    Awesome! I've been playing around with a similar control system except without a custom pcb. My transmitter is an esp32 while the receiver is a wemos d1 mini (esp8266) using a MX1616 dual h bridge as the motor controller. Incredibly accessible way into the hobby as opposed to typical radio systems. This one video has blown away all my plans to try to make a custom pcb. You've done everything I could want to but better lmao.

      Yeah, it’s kinda weird. It’s a venom 2S 300mAh, and it looked like that out of the box… I think it’s either just thick to make the length and width less, or it’s damaged, I don’t know… Are thicker LiPos a thing? Or, maybe they are in a 2S2P arrangement… My other 2S LiPo doesn’t look so thick like this though… let me know if it could be damaged if you know much about this, thanks for commenting man

    Nice work! Btw I always used 3.3V signal for servos/ESCs and never had an issue. I don't think that you need these level shifters. These servos work fine with both 3.3V and 5V signals. If the datasheet is good enough you can find out that the high signal is something like "above 1.8V" and that is totally fine for 3.3V signal

    • @hxtec32
      @hxtec32  26 дней назад

      So, it isn't fully open-source, because I thought the schematic would be good enough for people to learn from. I don't want people manufacturing my boards because I am an inexperienced PCB designer, and, as an example of this, this board overheats on standby when plugged into a 2-cell LiPo, and can be felt being warm through more than 2mm of PLA (which is horrible at conducting heat), due to the linear regulators, a horrible choice for converting ~8V to 3.3V. Sorry, I hope you can learn from the schematic, and Espressif's ESP32-C3 hardware design guidelines as I have, docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-hardware-design-guidelines/en/latest/esp32c3/pcb-layout-design.html.

      Yeah I got uncured silicone on my hands twice, and then proceeded to wash them for about 3 minutes, each hand. Don't know how dangerous that was, but apparently, the cured thing is 'food-safe', which probably means nothing when the silicone rubber is still in its separate two parts. Thanks man!
