So now I think I might have too weak a controller and confusing ideas as to which wire goes where...???...!!!
Should I send the new Infineon 20A back to replace it with the next size up before I start hooking things up?
"The more you learn the less you know" seems to be the name of the game in eBike knowledge.
This about wiring Infineon controllers as per ebike.ca....
"As it is now, the infineon controllers have a direct colour matching with the Nine Continent and BMC hubs. However, with both the Crystalyte and eZee motors, a swap is required. With our connector standards it is the blue and the green that are swapped."

Then a chart from cycle9 says something different as per the photo below.
Also cycle9 (Morgan) has this to say about Infineon controllers being misrepresented amperage wise....
"We started using infineon controllers recently. They seem to work well, but recently we got a big batch of various size controllers. Guess what? The "20A" controllers limit out at 13A, and the "30A" controllers limit out around 20A. I know why they did this - because I'm sure they've had problems with people burning them when running at the full rated limit. So they programmed them to operate below the limit. That means that a so-called "20A" is not really "20A" but "13A". Rather than send them back (a big expense), we'll now be selling the so-called "30A" controllers as "20A". Maybe that is a good thing - to sell under-rated controllers. It should significantly reduce the probability of failure. But it also makes it look like less of a bargain, asking people to pay more for a lower-rated controller."

To repeat, now I think I might have too weak a controller and confusing ideas as to which wire goes where...???...!!!
