I have a hub motor from a smartdrive MX-1 wheelchair assist. I want to use it separately from it's controller. I can't find too much information. I know its a 250w 24v geared brushless motor. the connections have 3 standard phases and a 6 contact connector for the hall sensors. I think one of the wires is temp or speed feedback (probably temp). the weird part is that the connector on the original drive board for the hall effect sensors says 3.3 volts instead of 5. I can't find any motors that use 3.3 as a comparison or much information on common hall sensors that will normally operate on 3.3v. I'm not sure what to do since so many controllers like to output 5v for the hall effect sensors. what to do???
(what I am trying to do is route around the given controller to just use a throttle and a dead man's switch cutoff for a caregiver to drive from the back of the chair. the motor is a omni wheeel which allows turning while still providing forward power).
thanks,
