Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get ebrake functionality without having to use an actual ebrake lever. I'm tired of these cheap levers, and of course you can't use them for hydro!
I've searched the forums for the reed switches folks from here have used, but pretty much all of them seem to be normally open, and closed when a magnet is moved close to the switch. This isn't ideal for an ebrake lever, since the simplest strategy would be to mount the switch somewhere near the clamp and the magnet on the lever itself. When you brake, the magnet moves away from the switch and the contacts would ideally close...
Does anyone know of a good reed switch that's normally closed , waterproof, has good magnetic sensing characteristics for this purpose, and is reasonably price? I ordered a few of these from em3ev, but I'm still waiting for delivery. I'm also hoping for no external power needed - this uses the bafang's 3-pin plug, so I'm not sure.
I apologize if the answer to this question is somewhere on this forum already. I did try to search!
