Today, we put our software skills to the test and set up the VESC Onewheel so that we can actually ride it! For those of you that don't know, you have to set up, detect, and write in all the values to make your Onewheel function as expected, and in this video, I run through that process.
Thanks to setup videos from both @TheBoardGarage and @surfdado I was able to figure out how to set up my onewheel fairly easily. It can be a bit daunting at first to try to figure it out, even coming from an esk8 background, so I was really grateful to have some content to learn from along the way.
Shoutouts to @TheBoardGarage and @TheFloatLife for their great content! Also big shoutout to Joey Z for his work with the onewheel community and development of the Zbms! An additional shoutout to @surfdado is definitely warranted as well for his work developing software side stuff that people use every day and for testing new VESC firmware versions for us!
The short summary of this is that it's an 18s XR based build with a full custom setup. The longer version is as follows:
