VESC Magic for everyone

How to use the newest Float Package (v1.1) and Float Control to make your board balance upright. Look for it in the package store by the end of April 2023
If you want a preview you can find it on pev.dev - search for "float" and it's on the changelogs page

[@TheBoardGarage]

With your vast fortune from all this VESC development, I expect to soon see that store changed to Dado’s Liquor.

[@pevdispensary4840]

Love how your son corrected you and you promptly replied too bad so sad, I like flywheel better 😂

[@surfdado]

Perfect metaphor for engineering versus marketing 🤣

[@The_Best_NPC]

What a cool feature. Thanks for all the R&D you've done to make this more available to the rest of us. You sir are a god among insects.

[@Fungineers]

I think it's justified to now start all your videos with Hi kids after all the awesome stuff you've done 😂🎉

[@ThisMarv]

Thanks for also showing the Android way!

[@quantumvortex3942]

Awesome! You might have to consider a change from surfdado to floatdado now 😂👍

[@EdLrandom]

remember onewheel?

[@changleon7441]

Would be a cool trick to jump onto the board when it’s in flywheel mode! Although im sad i can’t kick the board when it’s vertical

[@tonyrivas8952]

When I try to do the flywheel mode on my Floatwheel the wheel spins too fast to balance.

[@gannonboyd6962]

My board does this as well, did you ever find a fix?

[@tonyrivas8952]

@@gannonboyd6962 I re did the imu set up & now it has no issues doing the magic flywheel

[@roadboarding]

Nice! Thank you so much for all 🙏🏻💫

Cell Draining Winter Mode: Activated

[@danielbeeshepherd6803]

looks cool
i tried it and my board just went spazzy fast in both either direction it was tilted
does that mean my settings are incorrect do you think ?

[@surfdado]

When you start make sure the board is practically balanced on its own. Poor IMU calibration can make this difficult

[@milesonewheelwinter]

Sweet
Cause I always leave my $4000 board. Sitting out spinning when I go in the liquor store

[@SaiyanEuc]

I wish it was easier to build one of these.

[@baylormustaine983]

whats the controller your using in the pintx?

[@surfdado]

Trampa 6 75 - there’s a video about it

[@jt16omes]

Love it ❤! Are you running the stock tire on that pint x?

[@surfdado]

enduro (backwards hehe)

[@smokeyBJJ]

You know you can tap the foot pads left,right,left, right to initiate the flywheel mode

[@Electronic4081]

My vescXR wants to balance front end down rather than tail end down, any ideas?

[@Electronic4081]

Also, it seems to motor cuts out too early in one direction and doesn’t try to kick it back over, is this one of the settings on the magic page? Do those settings update automatically or do you need to apply them somehow?

[@surfdado]

The settings update every time you hit Flywheel ON. Each board can be a little different.

[@Electronic4081]

After some practice and luck I was able to get it down better! And thank you so much for all your contributions and the amazing float control app Dado! I’d love it if there were some way to donate or give back to you or the other contributors, you guys have done amazing things! Let me know if there’s anything like that!

[@Burnerzcrew]

Hi Dad! 🤣 Thanks for the nice feature

[@wayofflow955]

Sick feature, like that intro. Bad @ss

[@RusticRaver]

Pretty cool, one thing I don't understand is why the VESC climbs hills better than normal onewheel. The only explanation is that the VESC allows battery to drain faster.

[@surfdado]

odd place for this comment - but there's 2 reasons: 1) FM controllers have very conservative current limits to protect them from overheating, 2) VESC firmware includes a feature that lets you raise the nose of the board automatically when you're on an uphill (or lower the nose on downhills, making them much safer than on FM boards)

[@thomaspassaris]

We all love you dado

[@erickgoedde919]

Hi ! It’s so cool 👍🤘🙏🤙

[@bookmark2846]

That is so FLY!

[@_ScottSauce]

This is amazing

[@ThisGuyCJ]

What app is this on..?

[@surfdado]

Float Control (iPhone only)

[@ThisGuyCJ]

@@surfdado T.T

[@milesonewheelwinter]

VESC has changed the game

[@Zetler]

WTF!!😳

[@deanaoxo]

So sick!

[@Reedith]

It'd be cool if we could put an extra button on the board somewhere to program in modes like this one button click

[@smokeyBJJ]

You can press the foot pads to activate it too. Left,right,left, right

[@VXwheel]

So cool!

[@deltax7159]

i can see that you have a pint bumper on the front of the pintx to allow the float plate to screw in but how do you get it to work with the rear bumper? would love to have a float plate on my pintx like this.

[@surfdado]

for the rear I used glue only, just like TFL's PintX float plates

[@bambatsa]

where can i buy this in europe?

[@surfdado]

Buy what exactly? Plenty of info on pev.dev about VESC though

[@T4t4N-M4k4k_StokedMonkey]

careful in wet parts with a non waterproof board :P fiiiiiireeee !!! I know it by experience lol

[@surfdado]

that's why I went 1mph so that water doesn't splash up from the tire - I'm not letting water get anywhere near my electronic parts

[@MrPyro-jg3zn]

That's dope what is your mileage on this pintx vesc

[@surfdado]

I’ve put maybe 150 miles on it since we converted it. It had about 500 when I bought it

[@me_josh]

@@surfdado how many miles per charge on the pintx vesc

[@surfdado]

@@me_josh I’ve never checked on the PintX but I’d expect it to be similar to what you’d get on an FM PintX. It’s still the same battery and motor

[@me_josh]

@@surfdado oh ok thanks man your doing awesome work thanks for the awesome content
