# VESC2X3Bridge
|
|
|
|
The VESC2X3Bridge is a project I started at the end of 2025. It aims to integrate the X3 Scooter Series from Ninebot into the world of VESC, an open-source project by Benjamin Vedder.
|
|
|
|
This repository provides the PCB files for the VESC2X3Bridge board. It allows an almost plug-and-play installation, with minimal configuration required on both the VESC and Bridge sides.

## How to create a PCB from the files
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository and open it with KiCad.
|
|
2. Use the **"Fabrication Outputs"** option to generate the required files for your PCB manufacturer.
|
|

|
|
|
|
3. Upload the files to a PCB manufacturer (for example, JLCPCB) and choose a 2-layer PCB board.
|
|
4. Once you receive your PCB, development can begin. :)
|
|
|
|
## Firmware flashing
|
|
|
|
1. The board uses an **ESP32-S3-WROOM-1** chip, which has exposed USB D+, D-, and GND pins on the PCB.
|
|
2. Use these pins to connect a USB cable to your computer and flash your firmware.
|
|
|
|
## Flashing Service
|
|
|
|
We offer a PCB flashing service for those who prefer a ready-to-use board:
|
|
|
|
- **Cost:** Listed on our [shop page](https://scooter-labs.com/shop)
|
|
- **Includes:** Lifetime free firmware updates
|
|
- **How it works:** Simply order the service, and we will program your PCB with the latest firmware and ship it to you ready to use.
|
|
|
|
This service is optional — you can still build and flash the PCB yourself if you prefer.
