Wow stancecoke thanks for sharing that info. It does indeed appear to be a single coil on the Erider. I tried swapping the phaserunner for a grinfineon but same behavior so far... not a surprise but going through swapping components in case I observe a change. I wonder if the issue is more...

The spindle is pictured below. My guess is the coil is used for powering the IC and transmitting data.

matmat are you seeing large variations in human watts? I observed this only one time and didnt really do anything other than moving wires around and the issue has not returned. My ongoing issue is loss of torque output voltage from the torque sensor itself. I have observed the loss of signal...

Qwerkus: I did originally have the cable routed the way you described. I have tried routing the cable differently in an effort to address the issue but so far, nothing has worked.

My probes were on 10x as well and this makes sense as I was reading 1.6 ish volts from the sensor according to the scope. I rode around town today and although improved, I did still have to reset the system several times to get normal human power readings back on the CA, and therefore normal...

I took some scope captures today while poking around and found the 12 volt to ground supply to the Erider was stable, but the torque voltage to ground had some noise present. I took readings at the sensor side JST connector between the juliet connector and the CA. These captures were made at...

Update: Tightened the cups and noticed some improvement I noticed the dive side cup came off easily so I suspect during installation I must have forgotten to tighten down properly (20-30Nm). I guess the spindle must have been slightly out of alignment relative to the sensor cup on the non drive...

Hello ES! I have an Erider bottom bracket that is outputting inconsistent torque voltages. Perhaps one of you have seen similar issues and can comment. Issue: Voltage output from torque sensor stops modulating during riding. This usually occurs within a 5-10 minutes of riding. Power cycling...

Higher aspect propellers seems to be what torqueedo is using for their outboards. Printing them would be a challenge without supports and some sanding. Perhaps I could print the "hub" of the propeller which would print easily in a vertical orientation, and then print blades standing up right as...

Last fall I finally put together this little outboard project I intend to use on my Hobie tandem island and small dinghies. The premise was simple: utilize my existing e-bike batteries to power me on the water. I wanted to also play around with creating youtube content for some of my projects...

I have yet to have the chance to sniff the signal from a battery and saw talking back and forth. Far as I can tell the two middle wires are differential serial data. A packet is sent and the saw waits for a reply then shuts down when the battery doesn't reply. A scope cap of the exchange would...

Hey all who are still interested in these echo tool series. I purchased the chainsaw hoping to use my 17Ah 14s ebike batteries directly with the chainsaw. Unfortunately, the chainsaw wants to have a chat with the battery and since I don't have one I'm unable to sniff the signal and replicate it...

Last week I finally picked up my HS3540 from Grin and straight laced it up in a 20" 23mm rim but not before drilling some vent holes in the case. I drilled 2 larger holes towards the middle of the cases, and 6 smaller holes at the edge of where the casings meet the hub. I'm hoping that these...

My current top speed is 43kph and I would like to hold it around there, so from the ebikes.ca Simulator, looks like an h3540 should put me right in that ball park, maybe a bit faster. Obviously, if I'm heavily loaded I go more slowly but I think the h3525 might be a bit slow... Plus, my...

hmm... All good points. I do already have a full back up kit that I could use to make a 2WD system. I guess I'm just nervous about making things more complicated than they need to be. I figure I will try an H3540, most likely in the front since that's how the bike is set up and if performance...
