Hello Folks...
I've finally decided to make some refines to my MP6 Onion/astro bike. This summer I will not build a new bike to flow around the Eurobike show, but the final version of this one.....
The plan is to close the trellis holes using carbon Fiber (obviously leaving all the trellis to be seen, to shortening wiring I've never shortened, to make a transparent termoplastic (PET) enclosure for the drive and move the batteries from the toptube under the "downtube" trellis.
Another thing is that I'm testing the App Ebike Analyzer for Android http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59893 that's reaaly amazing and allows to log the Cycle Analyst data streming output into a file, integrating with GPS tracks via Bluetooth.
First of all, let me say a big THANKS to Mark that developed this app in a very professional way.
That's the hardware-software list of what I used to get a decent wiring installation:
- A Galaxy S4Zoom SM-C105, this is a small screen device but any device with Android supporting Bluetooth (and OTG in my case) would work, plus this device, having a true 10x zoom, a 16MP cmos, a stabilizer and an 1/4" standard thread mount, is also good to take some decent vid and shot and stay firmly screwed into the handlebar with a true alloy bracket...
- A Cycle Analyst (any version with at least the serial output data stream seems to work fine, I have tested a V3 and a V2.24 B6 LRC)
- A bluesmirf silver bluetooth module, from Sparkfun)
- A TRS (or TRRS) miniJack Audio cable ending with soldering wires or jumpers http://www.robot-italy.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4/image/d43192dcd82ea942982b4b1d2a6e2479/1/1/11580-01.jpeg
- A TTL USB cable ending with labeled jumpers http://www.robot-italy.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4/image/d43192dcd82ea942982b4b1d2a6e2479/1/2/12977-00.jpg
- An OTG micro USB cable http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AjFXXhBDL._SL1000_.jpg (to program the BT module)
- some jumper wires, soldering iron and consumables
- Plastic Box and DCDC from Matt's (Recumpence) RCthrottle interface http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12196
- plugs to connect the DCDC to the main e-bike Pack
Software:
- ANdroid 4.4.2
- The Ebike Analyzer App for Android from Mark (read his description to get it in the first post of his thread)
- The FTDI UART Terminal v1.0 APP for Android (free from PlayStore) used to program the BT module and mostly to change the default Baud Rate to the 9600 required to get the CA data stream, instead of using a PC or Arduino.
So I've firstly connected the USB TTL pigtail cable to the BT module providing to it even the 5v. the Cable I have has marked wires. Than, with the OTG cable and using the FTDI UART app, I've changed the Baud Rate as per SparkFun's well made guides. (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/using-the-bluesmirf)
Than wired the DCDC output to the BT module mating CAgnd, BTgnd and DC- and connecting VCC to DC+, plus crossing Tx and Rx of CA and BT module using the AudioTRS pigtail cable.
I have ENclosed everything inside the Ex-RCinterface box from Matt that results very clean: only 2 thin DCDC imput wires and the CA serial TRS cable.
This App allows the Phone to be kept in your pockets or backpack for datalog and GPS ability using the CA main screen as usual, or otherwise, allowing you to keep The CA and cabling enclosed and not visible in a Box (my thoughts are for Trikes or LEVs and static uses) and to monitor everything from an Android device on the handlebar.
Hope that's useful for someone.....thanks again MArk
