Animalector
10 kW
Thank you for the update. Merry Christmas.
So there seem to be a couple of strange things rather suddenly:botz244 said:... i turn on the controller the start up screen goes,then its blank and i get full throttle. ca with the thru thottle. 3 times tryed and still no screen and startup screen,so disconnect the motor and i can getinto setup mode and total wack 794 in wheel and 70kw limit .the throttle is set to 11% ,so i reset it ot 0. get back to regular screen but still blank and i have throttle.turn off and back on and still no screen and full thottle.
botz244 said:yep running18s2p lipos. and just a throttle thru the ca nothing else.ill check the wiring inside.its been -5 to-10 degrees f here in Alaska the last couple of days . ill have to get a program cable or make one im bout page 25 now.so the regular screen doesnt show but when you go into settings it lights up fine but the menu is messed up ill get back with you on the wiring thanks tom
Let me emphasize that you should not be riding with this CA until the matter is resolved. It is operating in a very atypical manner and the WOT symptom is clearly dangerous.botz244 said:cant trust this uint anymore till i have a shut off wired.i dont have enough brakes to stop this beast plus im on snow and ice so ill crash anyway.remember 4.8 tires with grip stud on a 95 lb Fatbike
Ya - the adapter will allow your controller to be set up for braking regen if you wish. This isn't for everyone, but if you are interested, that's the gadget to do it. Shipping from is costly for small items so I thought I'd mention it since it would essentially ship free as an add-on for your cable order....botz244 said:i wont need the adapter the brakes already go thru the ca along with the throttle.

Yep - this and the data format is called out in section 6.9 of the Guide (Serial Data Port). Analogger works fine with the V3 which dumps additional information not present in the V2.NeilP said:So..the CA datalogger with GPS..will that interface with the CA V3 same as the older CA versions?
Ya - I have a Thun sitting here for the new build but the new TDCM rigs do seem very appealing.... it will be good to hear some feedback (go for it!)NeilP said:i just returned a THUN crank...
I now see the new TDCM cranks..which seem better and are cheaper...
Don't take remarks out of context as you did here and suggest that I in any way discouraged discussion. Further, I am certain that if Justin wishes to solicit discussion and speculation of possible product problems in a public forum he will do so. IMHO that decision is best left in his hands.Architectonic said:I did email Justin a while back and he said that it was a known problem (as reported in this thread), but he couldn't replicate it.teklektik said:If you are troubled by a product issue, ES is never the best place to go first.

This thread is the right place to discuss it because I think Justin needs some more information before he can figure it out.
So this is basically good - the CA is alive and operating normally. I am hoping that you went through all the installation steps and set up the shunt, battery, etc as laid out in the manual...RC_guy said:I did set the ThrI-CntrlMode = Pass-thru
The max current is set to 40 amps
So if I plug the CA-DP plug and just plug my 3 throttle wires directly to the 3 pin CA throttle input, i see the voltage on the diagnostic screen varying from .82 to 4.21 IN and .85 to 3.65 OUT.
The Errata document calls out that there are two different CA-DP interface styles and how to tell which one you have. There are a few steps on the first page. This is critical to getting the throttle connected properly - there are four possible throttle wiring setups.RC_guy said:plugged this way, I tried a jumper between 5v and Throttle singnal of the CA connector(as described on p45) still nothing.
Leave these disconnected for now and/or don't use the cruise - leave that for another post - let's get the basic bike running properly first.RC_guy said:What do I do with the 2 cruise wires, they still are connected to the controller right now (it would be nice to have that feature)
There are normally 5 wires for the connector but the upgraded motor has 6. They are (no necessarily in order):RC_guy said:So there are the 3 main motor wires, and 6 other smaller wires that are connected to my controller.
