Mm ok.Just from miswiring to something you shouldn't have...
To avoid confusion, I would refer to the brake cable's RED wire or signal wire going to the brake connector as "signal". Not 5vdc...
I.E. Red is signal, Black is ground.
This is what I would do.
Review Beemac's wiring instructions in the other thread, as I found them accurate and helpful.

So the brake wires are called signal and ground. Understand. The red one is a signal wire. Makes sense.
Yeah I like his drawing and his idea about hooking up the gear sensor to one of those brake wires via the signal wire, and then hook up its ground and 5v-wire to the pas
.
I just can't get a hold of him anymore. So I don't know if I thought I should back off from the project after doing the readings with the multimeter. As I understood him he meant that if the voltage went above 1,5 and all the way up to 3-5v this could potentially create shorts in this entire operation, since that was too high of a voltage, to do this whole thing. But I am not sure if he thinks I could try anyway. Despite the high voltage. I haven't got a hold of the dude but asked him in the other thread.
That is why I am a bit wary about trying it before I get an answer.
But if I don't do it this way I should be able to splice two extra brake wires into the two esisting ones. Putting the magnets at the shift lever. Creating a kind of homegrown "shift sensor" that works like a brake sensor along the ordinary ones on the brake handles. But instead these will cut power off when moving the shift sensor with my thumb. Kind of like this picture (Sorry about the drawing it is not pretty I know
