Ram mount is delivered! Woot!
Ram mount is solid stuff. made a short vid this morning to see the vibration. I only bolted the car dock to the mount with a single #10 bolt and nut. The plan is to make a mating piece between the 2 pieces to make a solid mount to the car dock. so far without any additional support it works great. better than the crap that came with the dock. Its the best 40 bucks I’ve spent in a while.
Vid= short and uneventful.
I did almost get hit after this after getting into town. I’ll see if I can export and edit it to only show the near collision. Dude wasn’t looking at all.
Bench testing the battery pack. It work through the night and didn’t get hot at all. One flaw though. the battery pack turns itself off after 15 sec if it sees no voltage draw. The board draws very little when the relays are off so it will sometimes turn off the battery pack even with the board connected. easy solution, add a device that draws to the out of the battery pack like the phone. Or keep a relay turned on so there is always voltage running across the board. Its borderline on my tests. Half the time it will turn off and the other half it will not. I should be able to add a load somewhere with no problem.
