This thread is fabulous, it is more and more clear for me. So that means that the display is useless? ( I do not feel like spending all my time playing with Cycle Analyst..) I just need to display Battery level, speed and Pas level, basic information.
If you want to display information actually sent from the controller itself, then the CA cant' do that--it's not designed to.
It *will* show you battery voltage and current and watts, and keep track of power usage and all sorts of other stuff, as long as you connect the controller's shunt to it or use an external shunt between battery and controller. It can also do all sorts of other input processing, but the PR is "smart" so I dunno how mcuh of it you need.
If you need PAS control, the CA can convert many PAS sensors to a throttle signal customized for your controller, and you can make three presets for different "PAS levels", etc. I don't know if the PR or ASI controllers have a PAS input, or if they support presets / PAS levels. You'd need to verify that if you need those.
It is a pity that I can't reuse my 500c or 851c even my Eggrider would have been perfect , but seems useless.
Unfortunately I don't know if there is any way to do that with the PR; the Eggrider can be used with the ASI version (dunno what's supported though--it may not have all features?).
But you *can* use an android device with the PR app to see (and change) stuff in the PR, as noted previously.
on top of that, I understand that I will have to make home made harnesses to connect existing bafang brakes and throttle to the display. Shame. it remains also unclear where to connect the speed sensor and how.
It's very likely that Grin already has cables for this. If they don't, there's a german shop that might, on these pages. You'd need to ask them though

If your Bafang stuff uses Higo connectors, Grins' newer CA version also uses those so shouldn't need conversion cables. You'd need to verify this with Grin, though. If the speed sensor is the one from the wheel, that just goes to the speed sensor inputs on the CA itself if that's where you need it displayed. If you have to run the speed sensor to the PR for any reason the wiring might get more complicated; there is at least one thread froma while back to help resolve that; I dont remember the conclusion though. I'd have to look it up.
