Telemachus
10 W
I have a 48 volt speed controller I got secondhand, and it came with a throttle that was broken. The hall sensor in the throttle is destroyed and will need to be replaced.
While I am awaiting a replacement throttle, I wanted to test the speed controller. When i supply power, I am getting 4.5 volts on the positive and negative leads of the throttle wire.
I tried placing a simple 1k ohm resistor between the positive lead of the throttle and the sensor wire, and I got no movement on a working connected hub motor.
I also tried a 1.5 volt DC power supply, sharing the negative wires and applying the positive on the power supply to the sensor wire on the throttle.
Nothing.
Am I in correct in thinking that if I can get something between one and 4 volt to the sensor wire, that I should get some output?
