“I just have to say that this is hands down my favorite platform accross "the big 3" maker providers. I am dealing with more power more often and love the simplicity and safety Yukon gives me.
I originally bought a few for some power wheels upgrades which it works incredible for, and gives me the ability to add all kinds of features (what power wheels _doesnt_ need active traction control?!). You can fill in "power wheels" for any type of small-electric-vehicle like scooter etc... My only wish for this application would be more power. Having access to 18-24v would be incredible because it tracks open the wonderful world of power-tool batteries.
Lately I have discovered that Yukon is PERFECT for adding modern-day create comforts to my 1992 land cruiser.
The Yukon nestles perfectly into the 12v system of the car, and I would love to see you guys expand on this! The new wireless module makes this even more fun; I am currently using a full raspberry pi to host a local network AP, "plain" picos to broadcast sensor data, and a yukon to add wireless or automated control to varying systems. A simple example is adding wireless door locks, or automate rolling the windows up when the car shuts off.
I'd love to see you guys explore this application in more depth, for example a MCP2561/2FD, TJA1050 module (ideally coupled with a receiver (here's a neat example: https://kentindell.github.io/canpico)”
“I bought it with the intention to make a 4-channel programmabel power supply. It is nicely made with easy to use examples. However, the 17V max input limit could be improved to at least 24V and why on earth is it not supporting PD (power delivery) on the USB-C so it would be possible to use a Pi 5 power supply or a powerbank?”
“First of all I must say that I was a beta test for the Yukon, I liked the Yukon so much that I brought one!
The Yukon is a very flexible platform for an advanced robotics project or can be configured for almost any advance maker project. Great build quality from Pimoroni, that's Brian proof plus an extensive library of examples for all the modules.”
