Controller Question For Electrical Gurus

[dumbass]

The throttle controls both amperage and voltage.

Really there is no best method in case of failure. If you wire them parallel, there is a chance of overamping one motor if ran alone. If ran in series, there is a chance of over volting a motor if ran alone.

Did you try tying the grounds together between your controllers to help the throttle issue? Sounds like a floating ground problem, which I have seen discussions on how to solve this.

I try several different wiring setups with no luck but it was last summer when I did it and I really don't remember all I did. So I am going to retry it again. I am trying to work on the bikes and packs while remodeling my recroom. I'm working on installing a fumm 4 peace bath where there has never been a bath. So I spentthe day doing plumbing and will be doing that for a few more days. But I think I'll break into it and retest the controller again.

i went with a clawfoot tub in my basement. i had to break out a long section of the basement floor to get to the cast iron pipe below the floor in order to install a toilet and then i also ran a 2" ABS around the edge of the floor to where i could bring the drain vent up the wall to the upper bathroom tub drains. at that time i could put the P trap for the tub in the concrete when i poured the repair and the tub is high enuff that i could keep it simple in terms of the elevation of the 2" ABS in the concrete, the joint of the leg side of the 2x2x1 1//2 tee where the ptrap ties in is at the surface, so the 1 1/2" drain from the tub just goes right into it using a short ell, and the bottom of the ptrap sits in the concrete too in order to make the space under the tub drain, laid out and preplumbed with the ptrap set in the mix for the final location of the tub when i poured the repair concrete. very clean.

did something similar for the drains in my shed here. BOL, been there done that. sheetrocking the other day almost cut my thumb off. 1/8" deep right up on to the fingernail, 1" long. thank god for the evolution of the fingernail, they really are good armor.

thank god for the evolution of the fingernail, they really are good armor.

Except for dog bites...I'm still working on growing my right thumbnail back from a couple months (maybe three) ago, when I got it seriously punctured while pulling three of my dogs off each other. Got blood build up and whatnot underneath, and even drilling it out in multiple places to vent it didnt' help; still lost the end 1/2 of the nail after less than a month. Many gory details after that I'll leave out, but it still hurts when I do stuff and forget it's not there. That happens about a zillion times a day, too.

yeh, i saw oatnet's description of replacing the fuse, he had a huge blood blister under his fingernail too. you know somebody is working when they got the bruises to show it. i was rushing because it started raining and i was cutting the rock outside to hang inside the guys garage while he was living in it. never rush, it never pays. and it was the last sheet too, just not paying attention and the knife jumped off the square. it was messy, but no blood on the rock. sounds like a sermon title.

I wasn't intending to start a nother thread with my build comments..LOL BUT...I am installing a mini hot tub, shower, sink and toilet. I have an ejector pit 14' from the new toilet location. So I bought a special toilet that ejects from the back instead of the bottom like normal toilets. The exit pipe is 8" (on center) off the floor. So it has a perfect legal downhill run right to the ejector pit. And everything else can connect rightto that pipe. However, I hade to raise the shower and tub off the floor. The tub is actually pumped but now and then it has to be drained. I was lucky because they vented the ejector pit so I am connecting to that vent. Should work well if I ever get it done.

You want some fun? Try nailing your hand to a built in cabinet some time. And don't stop with 1 nail put 2 in for good messure. Yeah, that's what I did many long years ago. I had a freak situation and actually nailed 2 fingers to a built in cabinet. I was lucky my wife was home. So after she stopped laughing she got me a really big side cutter and I was able to cut the nails from the cabinet. But I have to have the hospital remove them (my wife wouldn't do it). OK, so now you all know why I have my user name Bob

done that too. small world. nail guns have hurt so many, then there are the guys who hold back the foot and shoot nails at you through the air. i was nailing two boards together with the standard 16d framing nails, not even thinking as i held them on my knee to shoot. that went in about 1" right above the knee and not into my kneecap thank god, but it takes a moment to realize the boards are now attached to my leg. at least it pulled straight out and i could walk. hehe

I was using a 22cal nail gun to attach 2x4s to a 12" I beam. I had my wife holding it up while I fired a nail in at each end thinking she could then be excused. After shooting the 2 nails in I told he she could let go. As she did the 2x4 fell to the floor. I used a max load in error and the nails were shot though the 2x4 and the I beam that was 3/8" thick and the nails were stuck in the outer wall 12 feet away. Sure glad we were the only ones in the area at the time.

UPDATE... OK, I was able to make my 2 existing controllers play nice together. Sorry I don't remember who recommended it but I basicly just don't use the 5+v supply from one controller. But I thiught for sure I tried that before. But this time I also pluged in a brake cable to eack controller. I don't think that was the problem though but I will unplug later and see what happens. I have 6 stock Currie controllers and some will not work without a brake pluged in. Very strange. But thinaks all. Now I will make a switch mount so I can mount the on/off switch for each motor on the handle bar instead of behind the rack like they are now. Thank All,
