So maybe it's not an EB218?

Yeah good stuff man, I am also happy that I got it working on OS X. If you want I could help with documentation on how to get it running on OS X.

I'm a cow, I found this adapter a short time after creating my own jumper, it must have been included with the board...

Lifesaver! You just saved me a lot of headaches.

So yeah instead of a red wire on the fifth pin going back to the button it jumps directly onto the first pin (white).

Love the XPD project, it is a shame I cannot find it at its usual spot anymore ( http://xpd.berlios.de/ seems to be dead). Luckily the files did end up on Sourceforge somehow, at least that's where I was able to find them: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xpd.berlios/files/?source=navbar . I got v0.3...

Does it make the wheel hard to turn before you turn the controller on??? If so its nothing other the the fets or something laying across or inbetween the traces. Nice one! Yes, even when turning the power and main switch off, the wheel still cannot turn freely. On top of that, I found out that the ...

Just an upgrade, mostly to boost acceleration. There are a lot of traffic lights here in Amsterdam

The connectors are indeed Anderson but not the problem

I tested the whole setup with a different hub and it did the same so I don't suspect a problem with the motor anymore.

Stiffening up when connected could be maybe regen activated? You do have a smoked brake sense wire... The old controller doesn't have a regen function afaik. That almost looks to me like the main gnd is/was open and all the current attempted to pass through the brake sense gnd? Could you elaborate?...

Without a controller it moves like it should; without resistance. Phase wires test good.

The weird thing is that the wheel acts this way while the old controller is connected again! I can understand something inside Lyen's controller is shorting the phase wires—it is fried after all. But the old controller should just work normally again right? This leads me to think there is a problem ...

After connecting my 12FET Lyen controller to my setup (48V 20AH SLA, 2500W hub) I witnessed my first frying session in the garage :-) Apparently the GND wire for the brake connector burned through its coating—see picture.
