PTrider Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My mainboard is set verticaly. If I could lay it horizontaly I could free up space for an extra battery. Can the gyro be recalibrated from vertical to horizontal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm fairly sure that it's not possible as it would be trying to work in a totally different direction once turned through 90°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric_vehicle_lover Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I bet that with original firmware is not possible. We are developing our own, the 1st OpenSource firmware for EUCs and that will be possible I guess :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlymex Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 There is a hard way that de-solder the gyro chip and re-solder it 90 degree vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I too think it is not possible. It would be better to buy a new main board made for horizontal mounting. I had the same problem with a generic chinese brand similar to SML140. I solved the problem leaving the main board in its vertical position on the right side of the EUC and adding the second battery pack inside the shell on its top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't find de-soldering it and fitting it at 90 degrees trivial and it will need to be quite rigidly mounted or the wheels behaviour could be, at best, "interesting"! Long winded way of saying it's not an option I'd consider lightly. Replacing the board with @electric_vehicle_lover open source board would probably be more worth considering?

Thanks Keith - looking how small it is - I won't be moving it ! I'm looking to relocate the board from right hand side to below the handle (so I can run dual 16 cell batteries - 1 in each side) - I think I'll just buy a new main board !
