Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

[macribs]

I like to combine a Adappto controller mini-e with a Domino twist-grip throttle with a potentiometer.(see electricmotorsport.com).
The potentiometer from Domino is 5 kohm.
The documentation of Adappto only speaks of a hall type throtlle
Who can ?
What should the wiring scheme be ?

Hm expensive. Take a look at this thread, I too was looking at that throttle you are eying. Read my throttle thread and follow the link in my last post in that thread. Domino throttle for 10£ plus what gwhy charges. Almost half price of that you linked to, and ghwy is tested by several ES member til their full satisfaction.

Potentiometer Characteristics forDomino:

I dont know how many times one twist the throttle during a ride, but it is a lot of them! If I use it 1000times per ride I will only get 500 rides out of the throttle. I think regular hall sensor throttles are more durable when it comes to this?

I ended up moving the controller outside to try and resolve the heat issue. this seems to have fixed that but now it has a odd issue where the accelleration seems to turn off for a fraction of a second every 20-30seconds giving abit of a weird oscillating effect. It spins the motor up with no issue but when riding the oscillations start happening.

Anyone have a similar issue? I have checked my wiring that i moved and retuned the controller multiple times including manually tuning, turned LS on and off, turned the throttle to speed and back to torque, doesnt matter if i am cruising at 10amp or pulling 130, it still "pauses" which when on full accelleration its a very noticeable stop and start that happens super quick.

maybe yes

i have had oscillating problems a couple of times with a couple of adaptto controllers....for different reasons i believe.

reason 1-
lvc set too high, like 3.1v when it should be 2.5v. (i believe setting the lvc low is ok if just for under load/sag voltage, i would never discharge it that low as to get to resting voltage there..
so fixed.

reason 2-
throttle sensitivity seemed to go out the window by itself. this was noticed as a pulsing /oscillating feel when cruising at around mid throttle band. it felt as if i was twisting the throttle on and off slightly when in fact I wasnt.
after trying to adjust all sorts of things, i eventually looked at the throttle limits, to see the throttle signal was all over the place like a mad woman's shit,
jumping back and forth, i believe this was the cause.
frustratingly the throttle linear calibration would not register an input.
anyway, i blew up that controller before i could fix the issue :|
it was unlikely to be the magura itself as im using it wth a new controller now just fine.

reason 3- pwr timing was cranked up(by me) to see if i could get better accelleration at high speeds.
there did seem to be an improvement in the pickup department, but there was a side effect of the pulsing sensation again, so i adjusted it back to how it was again.
also fixed.

Yes I was having the same issue with mine, and the oscillation/pulsing was occurring even with no load and at any speed, I couldn't work out the cause as the day before when testing, it spun the wheel smoothly and I hadn't changed any settings since then. I tried everything I could think of such as redoing autodetect, checking phase/hall wires and even hooking up a different hub motor, batteries, throttle and brakes but nothing worked. So I've currently sent it off to be looked at.

Damn it. I really want to give this bike back to its owner not have to wait another month for shipping there and back. Hopefully they get back to you with a fault they found and hopefully a simple fix that i can do. Can you please post in this thread when they get back to you.

 

[ridethelightning]

sorry break it, but sending a max-e back to moscow from aus,ems, I think your looking at around $95aud just for the postage there
thats from Tas anyway..
if its under warranty then they shouldnt charge for the repair, but post is a real wet blanket.

sea freight might be half that cost but your potentially looking at MONTHS.

best outcome woud be if you got info from the engineers, jeka et al, to do the fix yourself.

 

[Dirtech]

Anybody know how to test the R113 protection resistor? Could be the cause of my problems.

Yes sure, they said they are really busy at the moment but should get around to my controller sometime next week.

Yup, really sucks. It cost me $80 to ship from A.C.T to Moscow to get my Mini-E repaired.

I haven't yet posted much about it, but after receiving mine back a few weeks ago...it had the same issue where no power is displayed or read. It would spin the motor fine, but would not show any Watts or Amps.
Sure enough, this lead to the same outcome where my controller blew doing AutoDetect again. Now one of the Phases causes the motor to severely cog when connected, so blown phase inside the controller.
I'm emailing with Adaptto now to try and resolve...they are slow!
I'm really hoping I don't have to ship back again as that's nearly half the cost of the controller in warranty returns!

Cheers

i just decided to forget it and never bother with mini-e again, just buy another max-e. maybe ill try to repair the minie myself oneday, or ship seamail.
i wish there was a TAFE course for fixing adapttos :lol:

Yeah I wish, but I forked out over $650 AUD including shipping and banking fees to get my Mini E. Then a week after I purchased they offered 10% discount and free shipping...now they offer Paypal too. I could have had it for less than $500 AUD and no bank transfer delay/stress by now! :| :x

Since I'm having so much trouble I'm hoping they pull out all the stops to help me. Wish me luck.

Cheers

I had a minor issue with one of the Mini-e's that I got for my school after 50 miles or so. I mailed it back for free warranty repair and they fixed it same day they got it and sent it back. It arrived back in Washington less than 14 days after I sent it out!

 

[graoully]

I got some water between the display transparent plastic sheets (seems there are 2 sheets). I'm about to send it back to the guy who sold me the kit.

 

[Jonboy]

GUYS
im running my maxe with push button regen offroad.. After a couple of weekends its become tiresome. .
So need to get it set up on my hope tech 3s.

Ok part number for a hall? And teeny magnet? To epoxy on.. anybody?

Ta v much

Jono

 

[Bluefang]

If you have a spare hall throttle rip it apart and steal the magnet and hall from there. Glue the magnet to the brake lever and the hall to the shell of the brakes. And voila, variable regen.

 

[Jonboy]

BF id thought of that. . I only have one spare so would like to keep it as a spare.. thx tho!

Hey, they tested the controller and said they couldn't find a fault with it as it worked perfectly with their test motors and suggested that I probably had the wrong settings programmed in. So I am a bit confused as I have had 2 other adaptto controllers and have always relied on auto detect to get the motor running smoothly, and I know that sometimes you need to do auto detect more than once. But anyway I got them to install the PAS and on/off function while it was over there. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it back.

Hello Adaptto users!

When I turn on my controller, I get the error message "Bus RX disconnect, please check connection"
Anyone else experienced this or know anything about this problem?

 

[Bluefang]

Honeywell SS-49E Is the hall sensor i know of that gives a better output when used with as a variable regen brake sensor with the magnet been moved in close and then away. Maybe a small magnet from one of those fridge clips will register.

Pitty that Adaptto did not find any issues with your controller, I ll keep playing with mine but this is going to suck if they send you back a new one and it works perfect, or even worst it faults again. The "pausing" is getting annoying. Did they actaully test it on a bike, it on happens under load with my bike?

They said that it worked perfectly with their stand motors, then I asked if they would test it under load but they said they have tested it several times and it definitely works.

 

[ridethelightning]

I wonder which settings could have this effect when set incorrectly. it seems suspicious that it began to happen with no apparent changes to the settings

 

[Jestronix]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble finding info on the V2 controllers, I'm looking at the mini-e and would like to know the peak kW, 10kw with 4 nominal ? Site doesn't indicate these new values ?
