please see my testing sheet at
http://www.oddjones.com/docs/phase-hall-oddjones.xls...
I have tried every phase hall combination there is - both with the 60/120 degree jumper open and closed. I could not get the motor to run
with the direction of travel at all ... in every case, in order to make the wheel turn at speed I had to turn it a fraction in the other direction first (as described in my previous post).
Let me first describe what I mean by "forwards" and "backwards"... Here is a picture of my motor in its test rig...
- I know the wheel is currently in back-to-front(!) - I've tried switching it around every which way to see if it has any effect and it doesn't seem to.
please note this is the opposite way around to when I conducted my tests (ie the control wires exit on the left fork, wheras when tested they exited on the right fork, so forwards and backwards have been reversed)
I have no idea which way the motor is supposed to turn! - If I manually turn the motor in the direction shown by the green arrow then the wheel spins freely with no resistance, if I manually spin it the other way there is a mild resistance and a "whirring" noise.
Here's a diagram showing how I've got it wired up - Any wires out of the controller not shown can be assumed to be left open.
please help me! I'm utterly bamboozled. (as I think you can probably guess from the wording of this post!) My bike and all its associated clutter have been filling my dining room for over a week now and my wife is beginning to lose patience. Never mind the increasingly cutting jibes of everybody at work who I told about my great new electric bike and how it was going to change my life...
I notice from I am Oz's post
http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/posting.php?mode=quote&f=2&p=91814 that he included different throttle wiring - could this really make a difference?
