Impact project Week nine

Today I finished the container that will go on the under side of the board for my electric skateboard build. The container will hold the ESC witch is like the control centre of the whole build and the batteries witch are key for how far you will be able to travel using the board. Today I also searched for some reasonably priced batteries that I can quickly get my hands on and that will fit in side the container because the batteries I had weren’t able to ship to Gisborne, this has set back my project quite a bit but I will keep working on it. The hub motor and ESC plus the controller are on their way and will be here by the 20th of September easily.

Impact project reflection Week five

Today I  measured all the components and made sure that they would all fit on the underside of my skateboard, I also made sure that the components wouldn’t hit the ground when I was skating. At the moment I am waiting to get the components and connect them to the board. Next week I will build a container for my batteries and ESC to rest inside under the board.
