Hall throttle conversion upgrade

gwhy! · Post by **gwhy!** » Apr 03 2014 4:04am

If anyone would like one of the hall throttle mechs then Im sure I can sort something out please PM me so I can get numbers and work out prices. I would not be able to supply the actual throttle or the cable as there are just to many variables but cables are pretty straight forward to do your self.

So for that system we'd use a regular throttle with a cable, and then down somewhere safe on the bike would be the adjustable hall? Are they such that I can put 2 halls next to each other for 2 different controllers and just the one cable pulling them in unison? I'd be all over that, so I hope they're really easy for you to build.

On the adjustable part, without adding any latency, is changing the shape of the voltage ramp up possible? I need to soften starts without some of the other stuff Zombiess throttle tamers do.

I'd certainly be in on it. PM sent.

These are actually very good

gwhy, can you post a simple sketch of you magnet(s) lay out & the hall sensor you use? I may take a crack at fabbing one up for myself.

Thx in advance.

a regular motorcycle throttle body, with a cable to suit, you may have to shorten a throttle cable as off the shelf cables tend to be a bit to long. The length of cables I use are typically around 50cm. the box can be mounted anywhere but would advise to mount it on the forks or in the center of the handle bars as this eliminates any movement in the cable when rotating the handlebars. you can just use the one hall sensor to drive 2 controllers or you can get a 2way cable splitter and use 2 hall boxes from one throttle , either way will work. the voltage output is linear from the hall sensor but you can buy throttle tubes that have different cam profiles that do alter the rate at which the cable moves through the range of travel.

the hall sensors that I have been using upto now are these A1301 , the only potential problem is that they are only rated upto 6v supply , but all the controllers that I have access to have all been 5v supply on the throttle line, so far this has not been a problem for me.

the magnets are 6mm ( dia ) x 10mm round bar mags They dont have to be 6mm dia you will get away with 4mm and they are N52's .

I will take some photos of a device stripped down.

I have worked out the prices for the throttle mechs, and if I was to do 20+ then it works out at £15.00 each + postage, I was hoping that I will come in at a little less than this, but it looks like the price of the mags have increased since I last looked... each device will be in a plastic box with a approx 30cm throttle wire with no plug ( bare wires ) with no actual throttle or throttle cable. the hall sensors max supply voltage is 6v ,output is linear and can supply rail to rail output ( i.e 0v-5v) but very easy to adjust output limits by moving the magnets within the device.. If people are still interested at this price then please PM with numbers and hopefully the 20+ will be reached.. if not the cost each will be around £18 each + postage.

I am making some cable throttle > hall output interfaces and just thought I would put this here just in case anyone would like one ( or two )

the prices for the throttle mechs, currently it works out at £20.00 each with free uk postage, and £23.00 to post outside of uk,... each device will be in a plastic box with a approx 30cm throttle wire with no plug ( bare wires ) with no actual throttle or throttle cable. the hall sensors max supply voltage is 6v ,output is linear and can supply rail to rail output ( i.e 0v-5v) but very easy to adjust output limits by moving the magnets within the device.. The actual length of the throttle cable may need to be tailored to suit individual needs. For more information please PM me.

for the guys that are waiting : just a little update..

I have most completed now and just waiting for the boxes.

here is a pic of a couple of them.

Awesome.

I'm not sure what it is for, but I may be interested.

Can that be plugged into any controller and any throttle? It allows a smoother acceleration?

It separates the hall sensor from the throttle itself. So, you choose any traditional cable operated motorcycle throttle and connect the mechanical cable to gwhy!'s box. Then you connect the 3 electrical wires from the box to your controller. Easy

This way you can have a nicely made throttle & a reliable hall sensor based input to your controller.

aaah sweeet!!

what's a good discreet motorcycle throttle to put in? i want to try one

any motorcycle "single cable pull throttle" will do the job or to be honest anything that pulls a cable i.e even a bicycle gear shifter will work. some of the cheapest throttles are advertised as pitbike throttles and can be bought for as little as £10 this is with a throttle cable but there are many to types, styles and quality to choose from. But please be aware that you may have to shorten a standard throttle cable unless you have a cable with a inline adjuster.

cwah · Post by **cwah** » Apr 26 2014 6:47pm

I was looking in amazon and ebay and I could only find this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THROTTLE-TWIS ... 48651771b8

How come they are so hard to find? Any one you use and recommend?

gwhy! · Post by **gwhy!** » Apr 26 2014 7:05pm

Just do a ebay search for pitbike throttle I personally use a domino trials throttles.

cwah · Post by **cwah** » Apr 26 2014 7:16pm

what about this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GASGAS-FANTIC ... 2c65fc281b

would it work?

gwhy! · Post by **gwhy!** » Apr 26 2014 7:39pm

Yes thats the throttles I use. The only disadvantaged with thoes is that there is no cable adjuster built into the throttle so ypu will either have to make yor own cabe or try to get a cable with a inline adjuster
Edit:
Or something like this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/360731646475?nav=SEARCH

or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PITBIKE-THROT ... 3f279ac4c4

or something a bit more fancy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Racing-1-4-Qu ... 3f331fab6f

or a thumb throttle http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Throttle-Leve ... 2ed07c6e32

Hey thanks for your time.

I think I'm going to get this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360731646475

And if I add your hall throttle box, it should directly work?

If all work fine I'll get more from you and fit it to my other bikes

ps: Maybe you should sell like a complete throttle with hall in endlessspehere. So it could be plug and play. Explain benefits over normal throttle and I'm sure people would want it! I suppose it makes it better than the magura? more control?

gwhy! · Post by **gwhy!** » Apr 27 2014 5:25am

In theory the throttle you have linked to will work as plug and play, But the cable may still not have enough adjustment to operate my boxes correctly so you still may have to shorten the cable of the throttle. I will not offer a throttle and cable as a complete kit as there are to many variables for people preferences , some might like a really short cable other may like a long cable or some may what a ali throttle body or a plastic throttle body. I may try to find a throttle/cable that will work out of the box just so I can point people to it knowing that no adjustments will have to be made to the throttle cable. or there is always a emergency diy cable kit for people that are not confident/dont know how to shorten cables. something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Mot ... 1e8369109a
