I also find if I try and wind people up it always almost gets taken the wrong way, I guess I'm more of a technical person as opposed to a people person, I'll give that test a go, but even if I do have it, there's not really much I can do about it as it's not like there is a 'cure'

Are there any examples of anyone successfully bypassing the BMS for the Panasonic drive system? I must admit I'm tempted to pick up a used bike with a Panasonic drive system on it and building my own battery. Now I have a ton of 4S li-ion packs, so if I could use 8S (~30v) or even 12S (~42v)...

Nice, thanks, found that I needed a DOH type, it arrived today and now have it on the road again. :)

Anyone know of where is can get a replacement? Thanks

I remember a thread on here had a PDF from NASA showing some destructive testing of 18650 cells, it was quite an interesting read and had some good info on making packs safer if you're building your own. I'm running 18650s in a low power setup on my bike and it works well, I don't discharge...

Just to let know you know I managed to get XPD to flash in the end. After trying 2 dffferent computers, both Ubuntu and windows, eventually my 2nd USB to TTL adaptor arrived and it flashed first time. So if anyone is having any programming issues, try a different USB to TTL adaptor, they're so...

I have a button with 3 wires allowing me to wire it up so it either closes or opens the connections. It turns out I had it wired up incorrectly the first time, as I originally had it to the button would make as opposed to break the connection. I have now rewired it but it still doesn't seem to...

Thanks, I tried using the switched +5v feed on to the very right hand pin (where the yellow wire goes in your photo), but I still cannot get it to program unfortunately. I did come across this thread which seems to have more than wiring configuration for this board...

No problem, I'm happy to wait and I appreciate your help here. The google docs link works fine, it does look like the 5v line is being switched there but by the looks of it there is no enable pin? I tried a loopback test and my USB adaptor works ok, so that's one less thing to worry about. I...

Thanks, I have emailed him but have yet to get a reply. He usually takes a day or two to respond in my experience, but I'm pretty sure this controller I have is one of the reprogramable types. I'm 99% sure it's an Infineon based controller. I think I had my TX and RX pins around the wrong way...

Hi guys I cannot program my controller, it just sits there saying "waiting for controller ready" I'm using a Keywin eb306 board, and I have not managed to program it with any software yet. Here is a photo of the back of my board, I have only hooked up the gnd, +5v, RX and TX pins. There are...

While this is for a volume control, as opposed to throttle control, this circuit may work on a normal linear throttle: http://sound.westhost.com/project01.htm

Thanks for the links, I found by the process of elimination that it seems to be the SP pin that is for the throttle connection: By the looks of it only the bare minimum is hooked up in this pic, so I'm going to try hooking up the SP pins to the throttle and hope for the best. Once I have...

I'm almost done building one of these boards up with my own fets but I'm struggling to find info about this board online Most threads relate to programming or changing LVC resistors. On the PCB there are many connections, TA, TB, SP, SLA, P1, P2, etc. What do these all mean? where do I...

Nice, thanks. I did notice that there is already is an LM317 on the bottom right of the board, but I guess one must be used for the throttle power supply and the 2nd LM317 is needed for the hall sensors? Anyway I've found an LM317 in my box of bits so I should have this thing working soon. Yep...
