Nice. Yeah I plan to remodel this to a 4x4 but I have concerns about tearing up my yard. But the extra torque would be very helpful for my sloped side lol.

Yes it does!

@ronnierocha9894 thanks man!!! More updates coming soon

Shouldn't matter if you do or not. As long as everything fits.

@@jantodiq ?

@VincentTubed needs to be tb3 or faster. Tb2 MIGHT work but not as well. Speeds have to be at least 20gbs or more

@@cmactech thank you. should usb-4 work too or does it need to be thunderbolt? there are a lot of fast usb-4 versions that mention thunderbol compatible.

@VincentTubed USB 4 is good. As long as speeds are at least 20 gbs.... USB 4 is faster so it'll work

@@cmactech It's not the only requirement though, the issue I had with one is that the OS would only see a storage device. I'm afraid to buy the wrong thing and it's hard to see if the device supports things like GPU

@patrickschnur because that's what I had. If you have that tape, that will work too!

@ernestgonzalez77 oh if I had a dollar every time someone stopped by and asked me that 😆.

I believe you can roll back. Unsure its been a while.

@@cmactech Ok. but this is patched sorry

I don't remember exactly but I just went to home depot and got a couple of steel 48 inch square tube. I pretty much winged it without too much of a plan. Just measured as I built.

Ahhh man its been a while since I used this set up. But I never ran into any issues. GPU needs to be powered on externally with the external PSU to work.

Ouch!! You got this!

Thunderbolt 2 should work if you can find the adapter. But I am unsure of any m.2 to thunderbolt 2 adapters. I’m unsure how well a gpu will do on it thought If it’s newer than 2017.

Glad this helped!

@@cmactech yeah thanks, what would you recommend for a budget gpu I was thinking the and rx 560 4gb. And also can you plug in the Egpu into a thunder bolt 2 dock and just have it connect with one cable or does it not work like that?

@@edward-jk4ol that’ll be a good card for TB2 if you can find an adapter. Bottom line is you need speeds of at least 20 gbps and you need to have a separate psu for the card like in the video.

Have fun!

Im happy i was able to help! Where did you hear me say it was glue? Sorry I made this video quite some time ago. If I said it was glue, it was probably for beginners to understand the purpose for the paste. (To stick onto something). Didn’t mean to confuse any one with the terminology lol.

Thanks! Actually, this Ryobi mower is just as powerful as my old 161 cc mower. Still going strong after 2 years.

@@cmactech that's good. I was going to do like yours but I realized it cost a lot of money. At the end. You should look at hoverboard RC lawnmower. They take the motor, battery, couplers, circuit board, all you need is a RC receiver. I was watching a Russian guy have all wheel drive but I don't understand this diagram. When it comes to wiring the both circuits board to the RC receiver. But it is much faster and cheap. I bought myself a cheap hoverboard but realized the motors gear has 6 pin holes and the board takes 5 pin. I might have to rewire it..I can send you the video and maybe make a video about it.

Yeah I seen those too. That’s a good option, but for me I have a sloped yard so I needed bigger/fatter tires. It was just easier to use a motor that already had a bracket to fit good tires. But if you build one please let me know! I’d like to check it out!

@@cmactech they have a hoverboard that has off road version they look very pricey. But I have seen on the Internet you can peel off the old tire and add some 4.10 types. I think that's what I have to do too. I don't have a flat lawn. I'm not worried about the tires yet. I'm more focused on how to connect the two circuit boards together so it has more power. Hopefully I can get more information from that Russian guy video ( language barrier is the issue) Once I figure that out. I need to find a lawnmower without doing any welding so I can connect all 4 wheels using a mount shaft coupling. Its shame not many people are doing this project it seems like a man's dream to build something like this. Plus there aren't many videos of people in detail about how to do it. It's just bits and pieces out there. The only one I saw is one French guy (one motor) and that Russian guy ( two motors) . But the Russian guy's schematics are a bit hard to understand. I recently bought two very cheap hoverboard one seem heavy then the other one. But it's ashamed they don't have the main circuit board. Not sure why there isn't any from the hoverboard I purchased. just today I have to buy one from eBay. So we will see how this project goes this summer

Any luck?

Installed it as well. My drive is simply not visible at all in disk manager. Tried with 2 different ssd drivers in that kit, not working att all. Checked the ibstallation and the adapter fits fine. Just no disk available. Don't know what's wrong.

Thanks ! I just find different ways to make things work are pretty interesting lol.

Not sure exactly but it usually loses 20 percent battery after each use. (About 30-40 minutes).

@@cmactech thank you

It is a transmitter and receiver sold together by RadioLink that I bought on Amazon. Works out of the box.

Thanks! With the lead acid batteries last at least 3 full uses so for me probably about at least 3 hours of run time even on hot days.

Really? Fair to say 1 hour should be easily down with two 9ah batteries?

@@ajaxmuchacha3758 yeah if your application is similar to mine 9ah should be fine for 1 hr.

@@cmactech that’s great thank you. Yeah I have a very flat yard. The reason I was surprised was another UA-cam video said they only got 20min run time out of two 22ah batteries on a fairly flat yard. Also two motors. Let me find the video

What would you like help with?

Will definitely do that lol

I have a slope probably about that or a little worse and 2 24v motors is fine for me although at times when the soil is soft it’s a bit tricky and requires reversing and going forward full throttle. But I have 10 inch cheap tires. If you have 13 inch tires or off road type tires, you should go up your slope with ease with a build like mine.

Must be at least thunderbolt 2. But nowadays, you should het thunderbolt 3 or 4

The one I have in the video still works great. I’d recommend that one but maybe you can get 4tb or something

A couple

A couple

I haven’t tried but I doubt it. I’d recommend using a egpu with it.

@@cmactech ok thank you I ordered the Apple 2023 Mac Mini M2 Chip / 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD

Definetily on my radar to 3D print an enclosure!

Mine uses pcie 3 speeds because mine is thunderbolt 3. Overall, you won’t get full performance. But from what I remember I didn’t notice any huge drops in performance because the card you see in the video is pcie 3. But yes using any interface (the thunderbolt adapter) that is slower than the gpu such as using thunderbolt 3 with a pcie 4 card will be a good drop in performance.

Nice buy! I think since I re-provisioned the Mac, Monterrey is only installed on the SSD. But i think as long as the original disk drive is installed, you can still reset and install Monterrey on the original drive (if you are concerned if the ssd will ever get damaged). The disk drive works good still as a secondary drive to store files!

Thanks. If the new SSD installed is stable I'll reformat the old hard drive. Not much on it yet anyway. On my first attempt with used drive sometimes the SSD drive often disappeared on restart. Getting new card on Monday.

You’re right. Not an enclosure. Any suggestions on what I can rename the title to ?

@@cmactech Honestly it would be kinda cool to see you make a case/enclosure. Update the name of this video "- Part 1" and then have a "Part 2" video making an enclosure.

That’s a good idea. I do have a 3D printer. It crossed my mind before but since you mentioned it… I think I’ll do this! Thanks for suggesting this!

You can’t do that with 2 motherboards. Each motherboard works on their own. If your laptop doesn’t have thunderbolt 3 or higher, you can still get the adapter I have in the video and instead of using the external nvme enclosure, you can just use the nvme to pcie adapter and plug the nvme end to your laptop’s nvme slot.

@@cmactech so the graphics card dock on desktop motherboard will not be function if i removed every other part from it (cpu, ram, hdd/ssd) of course let the power supply plugged in?

@@LawatheMEid no. motherboard architecture does not work like that. Just get the adapter and use it in your laptops nvme slot. It’s only $20.

@@cmactech thanks for your respond.

@@LawatheMEidno problem! I’m happy to help!

Thanks man! The reason why it was challenging for me to keep it straight is because these are old wheel chair motors and one of the brushes on the one motor must’ve been dirtier slowing down rpm lol.

@@cmactech your mower is excellent. I was just in general wondering if adding gyros would be of any help. Where is the kit waiver form :)

@@Anupkulkarni23thanks man! Oh yeah I’m sure it’ll definitely be a great help! If you add it to your application let me know! Definitely build one of these it’s a blast!

I left the original front wheels on and just run it back and forth mowing forward and reverse, it's not as fun as my original with swivel casters, but tracks better and constantly mows a full deck ,just had to jockey it a little bit when turning. Just recently I upgraded the front wheels to omni directional wheels, and it tracks straight, spins around with very little jockeying in the yard

Actually from what I remember, not too much

The problem is in India the 30 gbps m.2 to thunderbolt dock is atleast 200$@@cmactech

I am happy you enjoyed it! Thanks! I’ll be uploading more soon!

Good catch. Here it is! a.co/d/gPkrfip

@@cmactech … thank you for the link.

@@cmactech … adapter ordered from Amazon link. Thanks!

Happy I could help! Good luck and enjoy!

Haha you’re right! If this video gets more views I know I’ll hear more of comments like yours hahaha. Maybe I should take “enclosure” out of my title

Link is in description

Thank you!!! I have considered automating this with my Arduino to turn it into a robot. So in the future I’ll definitely have another update!

Thanks man. I sure will lol

FYI you do not need to put thermal past on the adhesive. You only need the paste if you were adding heatsink on top of the m.2 chips.

@@chrisnodbot2631the thermal paste was used as a substitute for glue to keep the adapter mounted securely in place.

Thanks for ordering! The wheel button shouldn’t spin. It should retract after scrolling up or down and is as sleek as a regular push button. Does yours spin? If so, shoot me an email at support@cmactech.com.
