Magura throttle to Lyen controller

[RVD]

I searched the forums but didn't really find the info that I'm looking for.

I am trying to connect a Magura throttle to a Lyen controller (9 fet sensored). I believe that all of Lyen's controllers use the same wire coloring scheme including black, green, and red.

The Magura that I purchased from JRH (http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php?productid=280) has 3 wires coming out of it. Black, brown, and blue.

Questions:

1) The other threads seem to show that everyone is hooking up resistors to the wires? Is this necessary?

2) What color wires match from the throttle to the controller? e.g. black-black, brown-green, blue-red?

Thanks.

You can connect directly. This results in some dead space at both ends. The Magura is a pot, so it does 0-5V whereas the hall throttles do something like 1-4V.

I put a 2K pot at each end of the Magura and adjusted them to get the full range on the Magura.

The wiring colors are here on the forum. Lyen probably has it as well.

+1 for what Alan B said, though i didn't have any pots so i put 2 1k in series, worked fine

black-black, brown-green, blue-red

and this is the correct wire combination

THis setup works perfect for me.

I have set up two bikes with Lyen infineons and Maguras.
I followed "Methods" set up using a 1K resistor in line with the +5V and a 3K resistor inline with GND. These are the small cylindrical resistors with the coloured bands on them.
Works flawlessly and has full resolution in the throttle.

I don't recommend taking the throttle apart and mechanically adjusting it as some folks do. Using fixed resistors or pots is simpler. Using pots allows it to be adjusted for perfect range. Controllers are not exactly the same.

cool, this works using the color scheme above..

magura/controller
black/black
blue/red
brown/green

btw, i really like this throttle. it's working well and i actually like the bit of dead space at both ends. i was afraid that the throttle would be too twitchy and it's not (i'm afraid that i'll grab the throttle to get the bike and it will go off running...)

anyway, i think this is a must-have upgrade for everyone out there.

Glad you like it. Spanning the range with resistors or pots allows a bit finer control which is more important as the power level and speed range is increased.
