I would love to buy better controllers with cruise control but I have 2 8T macs from eunorau on 2 bikes that have no label controllers. I cannot find any guide to suitable controllers that will handle the high electronic rpm except for baserunners which are pretty expensive here. The cruise was...

I don't know where those resistor values came about, as after resoldering all the black wires I measure across the positive and signal wires 1.8 V to 2.6V; +ve to -ve measures 4.5V. Do you think smaller resistors? Addendum: I forgot to say I tested it on another controller on my desk. When I...

I picked up some diodes, resistors, switches, and pots and will try different combos. I found this diagram for a cruise control. Sorry I do not know the source, but built it. Nothing happens when switched to the pot and immediate full throttle when switched to throttle. Am trying to sort it out-...

Thanks for the info. I'll do some current measuring and check what diodes cheaply available. Should be less than 10mA so it may be worthwhile if it's not too low. There will be a 10k pot in the positive line. I will experiment. Paul

I've been trying to find your pot resistor modification thread to ask you a question: Instead of using variable resistors in the +ve and -ve lines to find the correct voltage drop, could I use a diode in each line? They have around a 0.6V forward voltage, so would give around 0.6V to 4.4V range...

On the Eunorau Mac controller there is a 3 wire plug labelled axis sensor. Is this a PAS connection? If so I can't get it to work with a cadence sensor. Or is it a speed sensor connector? Thanks

I have one of these and the controller has a lead for a CA3.

I'm only learning, but if the throttle is just a pot, couldn't you use a log pot to stretch out the initial power response?
