battery drill – for mounting your enclosure to the deck
Screwdrivers/hex keys – for whatever screws you use
Soldering iron and solder – for the esc xt60 connections
Step 1: Electronics Enclosure
I designed my very own electronics enclosure for this project which perfectly accommodates my chosen components whilst occupying minimal space under the board. the planning was SLS 3D printed in nylon for excellent toughness and sturdiness . you’ll in fact make any enclosure you would like , some people even simply use a food storage box. However if you’d wish to accompany my design then the STL file is out there for download on my website here: https://practicalprojects.weebly.com/store/p6/DIY_Electric_Skateboard_Electronics_Enclosure_STL_FILE.html
Please note you’ll require a 3d printer with a build area of 300x300mm or greater.
Then, use the enclosure to mark off the 6 holes, or if you’re making your own enclosure then mark off the points where you would like to mount it.
Step 2: Assembly
A ready built truck kit makes the assembly of this board very straight forward and self explanatory. All that is required is a bit of soldering of the XT60 and bullet connectors onto the ESC and anti spark switch and then just connect everything together as per the wiring diagram Flipsky
Step 3: VESC Programming
You will need to configure your VESC to your setup before use. Here is a comprehensive tutorial that Flipsky provided for their VESC’s.
