Just for fun? Or are you going to put it to work? I’m curious how easy it is to get the benewake unit working. Which model are you going to try?

Nice build!
Did not see that mini carrierboard before. How are you liking it?

You could save weight and get more space by using a much smaller (and better imo) power module, i like this one a lot https://store.mrobotics.io/product-p/mro-acsp7v10-mr.htm (or use esc32 with current sensor build in, then you just need a 5v converter)
