I’m thinking of blowing some money on it and seeing if it works.

Is anyone interested in taking a $110 + P&P gamble with me & Ordering one of the boards?

I can’t guarantee it will work at all. (design review welcome!)

I was thinking to run this on it GitHub - projectneodrive/powertrain: Implementation of odrive 3.6 controller · GitHub which wraps SimpleFOC in a Odrive/ simpleCAN wrapper.

A clone of a clone of an outdated ODrive board? What can go wrong, right? :grinning_face:

My opinion: Odrive customers buy them, because they are well tested and bulletproof.
Tinkerers like me, buy hoverboard controllers for 1/4 of the price.
