Wich controller supports a pedelec or PAS sensor?

Postby dutchlincoln » Wed May 23, 2012 2:24 pm

For my build i need a controller thats compatable with a pedelec sensor.
I want the pedelec be a must in order to activate the electric assist.
I want to install the hand or thumb throttle to set the desired speed.
Better may be the support for a torque sensor, so i can ditch the throttle, and have the electric assis be regulated by the load i have to pull on the pedals.
Anyone knows if the Lyen or Kelly controllers can do this, or do i really need specific controllers? If so, which would these be then?

Thanks.

I've been wanting to do the same thing. I have a 10k potentiometer on the handlebars that I use as a speed control, but up to now I've had to switch it manually. I have a prototype working at the moment that uses a very small microprocessor to take a signal from the pedal sensor and switch a relay that connects/interupts the throttle signal wire, and I also made a protype that would give a direct throttle signal from the microprocessor using the pot and pedal sensor as inputs, but my programming skills are a bit rusty, so I couldn't get it running smoothly. Speedict told me that they will try and get this function in a future software update after they've developed their new controller. Other alternatives atre the Thun torque sensor, which I've seen on Aliexpress:

or the one that BMSbattery do:

Im not looking for the sensor, but a controller to connect them to.
I want to work with stock availAble parts, as i'm obligated by law to have it working with a pedelec...(europe..)
