Außerdem entstanden für das #ChaosMauldasch Cluster:
Der #MauldaschTracker - das Gepäck-Tracking-System für unsere LKW-Logistik-Eskalation auf der #WHY2025.

Komplett mit Drucker für die Tracking-Labels (von @techbeard), Barcode-Scanner-Seite (um Zeug umzuladen), Live-Tracking (per Handy-GPS im LKW), etc.

New experience in unfamiliar territory unlocked: upholstery.

Since the original #ePocketBike seat foam was pretty beat up (see past post) and thin to begin with, I decided to completely reupholster it.

I cut a slab of composite foam roughly in shape, glued it to the now reinforced seat base and trimmed it to shape.
Then I wrapped some fabric around it, marked it and used it as a template to cut out the leather pieces.
Now all that was left was sewing the pieces together and stapling it on.

First time working with fiberglass and epoxy to reinforce the seat of the #ePocketBike.

Either the aluminum underconstruction or the fiberglass laminate by themselves would probably have sufficed, but there's no engineering like overengineering :P

Big thanks to @techbeard, @hmnd and @crexodon for their help. I literally couldn't have done it without them <3

Just in time for #GPN21, I mounted the display and quickly hacked together the serial communication, so the actual data coming from the VESC gets displayed on the dashboard I coded last year.

I still need to revamp the layout and some values, now that I actually know what metrics I get from the VESC and what I want to actually display.

Finally! The wiring for the #ePocketBike is done!

Preliminary tests show that the ESC still works and the DIY hall-sensored brake lever too!
(For controlled recuperative braking)
Although the signal of it is a bit noisy, probably need to fix it at some point ^^'

Now I can finally get to the fun part: Writing firmware ^^
