Introduction

BMW5 F10 (2010-2017).

CANbus

CarCluster + ESP32 https://github.com/r00li/CarCluster

  • Please use arduino ESP32 core versions lower than 3.1.x until further notice as there is an issue with one of the included libraries that prevents the ESP from booting up with wifi enabled. Just install the latest 3.0.x version. Alternatively you can use it with wifi disabled, which should also work.

  • Howerboard/Scooter motor: "The motor’s power is determined by the width of the stator, the diameter of the stator, and the number of strands in the motor winding. The most powerful items have stator width 30mm and 300mm magnets. It is coupled with 5 strand in motor winding." Motor Weight:
    • 30mm magnets/stator - 2.9 kg
    • 25mm magnets/stator - 2.6 kg
    • 20mm magnets/stator - 2.3 kg
