I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a video of a motorized bike pulling under load, soon! :thumbup: |

An audible ammeter would be kind of cool -- maybe a tone that rises with amps -- like a metal detector does! Wish I was more of an electronics guy. Or a remote pickup ammeter -- that way it could be up in front and only the pickup wire going to the back, to keep batt cables short. |

I keep thinking that some day i'm going to go all out with electronics, and especially microcontrollers. Seems like there's alot to learn though. It used to be my main interest as a kid, but I started finding it frustrating to try learn new stuff at some point. It was really hard to find information before the internet. There weren't many good non fiction books in the local libaries. Didn't help when school wouldn't let me take the electronics module and I got stuck sanding lumps of wood they cut for us (which they called Resistant Materials. Fancy words for wood'n'plastic). |

The problem with running long battery wires to an ammeter in a dash panel is that I've read in a few places that ESC's are sensitive to length on those lines. If the batts and ESC are close to the ammeter, then it wouldn't be a problem. Usually the ESC and batts in a model plane are very close. Do you have any other suggestions? |
