Adapting 2-wire brakes to Crystalye controller?

Postby traal » Wed Dec 21, 2011 1:24 am

I bought some Wuxing e-brake levers to replace my old Crystalytes. The Wuxings have 2 wires (red/blue) going into a 4-pin connector. I get continuity when I squeeze the handle. The Crystalytes have 3 wires (red/green/black) going into a 3-pin connector, but I can't figure out which wire does what.

Is there a way to adapt the new e-brake handles to the old connector?

The Wuxings 2 wires e-brake is a reed switch system. Which mean it doesn't require constant power source, so you only need 2 wires
Other type ebrake switch use 3 wires system, it generally is a hall effect switch, which require constant power source

The Crystalyte controller had 3 wires that mean it can work either reed switch or hall effect switch
pin 1 red Power + 12v
pin 2 black ground
pin 3 green signal

you need to connect Wuxings red to Crystalyte green, and black to black
