Nico Aleman Releases Float Package for VESC Tool
Utilizing the new “packages” feature in the upcoming VESC Tool v6.0 release, which allow easily installable extensions to the VESC Firmware, Nico Aleman releases Float Package on pev.dev.
Float Package replaces Mitch Lustig’s Balance App and is heavily based on surfdado’s ATR firmware. Key features greatly improved usability through organized configuration menus, safe default values, min/max ranges for all parameters, and descriptive help texts.
Float Package also introduced the “Remote Tilt” feature, which allows a handheld controller to be used to adjust the “level” angle of the board in real time. This enables riders to traverse much steeper inclines and declines while maintaining precise acceleration and deceleration control.
After its release, Float Package became the foundation for the continued development on the ride feel of VESC-based single wheel electric skateboards.
