Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a pedal assist selector that I can read out
I've just converted a touring bike to an electric one. I'm planning to go long distances and therefore I would like to make the switch from a thumb/twist throttle to something that can be used to select a certain assist level (that could correspond with a certain current level). I don't know the common term for it so if anyone could knows what it's actually called that would be great!
Preferably I'd like to use an off-the-shelf selector such as here:
Using one of these could save me the hassle of making my own selector.
I've hooked up the top one to a 15V lab bench power supply and checked the pins with a scope. There seems to be some kind of unusable signal but the leds respond normally to button inputs.
So my question for you is: have you got experience with using one of these selectors? Do you know if there's typically a certain communication protocol involved? Are there rugged stock selectors with a simple analog/I2C/UART/CAN output?
Thanks in advance!
