Has anyone had luck pairing a Garmin watch to a Thor 301 with VESC Dash or any other Garmin watch app?

Background: I'm fairly new to floating and I have a FM GT that I VESC'd and put a Techrails N52 5" hub and a BTG on. I primarily ride trails but the last couple times I've gone floating on the road, I've had the board dump out on me around 27mph (two times on one ride) with little to no warning. Now I'm looking for the best way to see where my boards at without reaching for my phone.

The good news is that every time my board felt like it was cutting out, it was very brief and I was able to recover minus a minor coronary event. I also wasn't pushing the board ignoring any push back. I don't believe it's a setup issue either as it seems to be happening just as the road flattens from an easy down hill section after my speed was gradually increasing. At least two of the times this happened, a gust of wind also hit me head on just as the road was leveling out so I think the speed combined with the sudden resistance instantly and briefly pushed the board beyond it's happy zone. I do ride with my phone volume turned up and an 80% warning alarm set on Float Control but it's always going off when I'm going over 20mph. because of this, I think it would be better to actually be able to see where the board is at on my wrist with a quick glance.

Sorry for the blah blah blah but as I started typing, I was imagining all the comments regarding rider error, VESC issues, etc. I'm open to critique for sure but I would really like to have my dashboard on my Garmin watch. - Thanks

Currently using a pint, but considering getting a used XR+ and wanting to VESC it, was wondering if there was anyone in/near Melbourne, Australia that can do this? Happy to pay of course, and would love to discuss what parts/kits would be needed and all that

Hi all,

Im able to build custom hv batteries, and I can design 3d models and print them with my 3d printer.

Im wanting to vesc my onewheel+ XR and I wondering what the safe maximum voltage would be for the stock motor. Im looking for a substantial power upgrade with 25+ miles range (200lb).

I know that if I want to use 21700 cells, ill have to make a new battery enclosure which im totally willing to do.

Affordability is also a concern. I have around $300 budget for everything I need for the vesc conversion (excluding battery and bms cost).

What kind of vesc controllers should I consider?

What voltage should I run?

What would the battery config look like? 20s?

Thanks!
