MiniTank Mark II - A longer test (Patreon)

Hi everyone! This week I took the time to fix/repair/adjust/tune the current version of the mintank so I can keep working on the next, hopefully last iteration of this minitank. In this video I show the minimum modifications required to make it work but I've prepared for the next iteration a whole lot of new modifications that should make this thing bomb proof reliability wise. About the VESC configuration that is not really shown in the video, the only two settings that I modified were:

1.- I made it be driven by RPM target instead of Current target, that way once I pushed the stick it tried to reach the RPMs configured. When it was configured by current the issue was that it required a lot of current to make it going and once it started moving all that current threw it into superspeed mode, hence the bursts of superspeed seen in the first tests. 

2.- I increased the maximum current allowed to be drawn from the batteries, that fixed that issue that can be seen in the first tests were one of the two treads became unresponsive for a while here and there. The thing is that once the VESCs detect that overcurrent they enter safe mode and take a while to restart. 

If you have any suggestions for the next iteration please leave them here or in the comments so we can see if I did everything you thought was required to make it better and if all you thought was necessary was in fact so. 

I'm also planning a few workshop improvements because winter is coming fast and I was wondering if you were interested on me showing those improvements on the channel, probably not as Friday videos but as an extra midweek video. Just let me know please.

Thanks!!
