Hi,
I'm now to the forum here, well for posting that is....Read some interesting things here but could not find the info I was searching for so time for some posting.
I've build a solarboat to compete in the frisian solar challenge, and built a bicycle with 36V 250w motor.
Now i got me a Magic pie or smartpie motor to build in a small moped.
I got it set up for my 48V battery, but got intrigued by the way the controller can be programmed.
Looking for info on the net, it looks like the golden motor programming cable could talk serial, but it use HID device. I have been messing around with usb-serial controllers a lot, and these always change (virtual) port numbers when inserted in an other usb socket.
GM made an interface using soma small MCU that presents it self as HID, so no more changing ports, very clever. I’m curious how this works.
There seem to be a PI-200I , PI-200E and PI-300I, I guess the electronics are all the same, but the connectors just are different.
Can anyone take a look at their device management (control panel / hardware) an see what PID and VID the cable has?
I might want to try and build a homebrew cable……
One can see this in properties, details and pick hardware ID from the pull down menu.
Kind regards,
Edwin
