Yes- this was a second attempt to see if someone had considered utilising torque data from the Garmin Vector system and converting it to provide analogue torque data for the CA3. As regards "waking up" the Vector pedal(s) this is triggered by slight rotation of the unit(s) and not by the "head...

I'm not an electronics expert but would love to find some way of taking the torque output from a Garmin 3S pedal sensor and providing an analogue torque input to the Cycle Analyst 3? I use a Schlumpf MountainDrive so that rules out using any type of bottom bracket sensor. I guess that would need...

Feel free to send me a private message and I'll give you contact details. I have a Quattrovelo with e-assist controlled by a CA3 and am quite familiar with the system. I'm in Ware near Hertford.

Thanks Amberwolf- it sounds like some rebuilds I did recently on a Mavic Pro Drone- those little ribbons are very fragile!

I'm a great fan of the Satiator charger (see my other post re-using it with my Shimano battery) lately the data display on my GC360-4808 has developed a fault on the right side of the screen. I see that spare screen are available as spare parts but would this cure the problem or it it likely to...

For some time I've been using my Satiator GC360-4808 charger to charge a custom 48v 21Ah battery on my assisted Quattrovelo velomobile, I have appreciated the profile setup which enables me to choose the desired charge level and then forget it with no concern about over-charging. (Most of the...

Hi Lee, Just found this-- I hadn't realised that you had previously considered the possibility! Way beyond my capabilities but I think you could definitely make it work! (I could lend you the VectorS kit to work with)

Thanks Amberwolf- your reply makes me realise what a challenge this would be! (although theoretically possible) Actually the Vector system does output torque and cadence separately According to what I've read the cadence output automatically overrides any other source of cadence and the actual...

As previously posted I have a QV (velomobile) with a custom e-assist. (Converted hub motor with Grinfineon /CA3 controls driving a modified Schlumpf (Mountain Drive)bottom bracket and thence to the 11 speed rear cassette) It works superbly but in order to comply "strictly" with the EU rules it...

I've now been using the system I described earlier for over a year and 7000+ km. It's proven to be highly reliable and almost imperceptible regarding noise. Although capable of much higher speed/power I normally restrict it (via the Cycle Analyst) to the legal settings of 260W and max assist...

Finally answered my own questions and learnt a bit in the process! I spent some time following the throttle calibration procedure as detailed in the CA3 instructions- it seems that the parameters were significantly different now that the motor/Grinfineon/CA3 all changed. (Initially I just...

Finally- my friend visited and we rebuilt the motor and rewired all the leads that exit via the axle. Using one of those Chinese "test boxes" we tested the three motor phases and Hall sensor leads and all seemed OK. The motor seems to run OK "MOST" of the time BUT suffers from a new intermittent...

Thanks Amberwolf AND Teklektik for your ideas-- I'm sure that you are correct because I see that one of the Halls was replaced earlier (NOT by me!) and seems to be mounted slightly proud of the stator thus possibly rubbing on the rotor magnets. I also note that the leads from the replaced Hall...

Thanks Amberwolf- I've been away for a bit, so now I'm just getting back to trouble-shooting this problem. I'v got a new CA3 (updated to latest f/w) plus a replacement 25A Grinfineon controller. One of the motor halls has been replaced. Because of the "tricky" cable exit from the Smart Pie I've...

Further to my previous- (using the methods on the GRIN site) I carefully tested the Hall sensors in the Smart Pie and also the Mosfets in the Grinfineon 25A controller. It seems that one Hall sensor PLUS at least one Mosfet in the controller have failed.(the Mosfet tests are a bit inconclusive...
