    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    So just to make sure we are aligned. Earlier we said we will set A4 as analog out, when the throttle is at a minimum, output 0V, when the throttle is at maximum, output 3V. So essentially we are synthesizing the output here to a specific Analog Pin regardless wether its cadence or torque (we...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    This is comedic (on my part) shows my lack of knowledge on electrical engineering! Turns out I was using the multimeter completely wrong! So the output is all fine on the throttle. However the Torque output is going from 0 to 4.6v, does that sound ok? I know you mentioned 3v. If we need 3v...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Where can I source a load resister? Any specific types? I am connecting the throttle signal wire to A1.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    So something strange going on. I am testing with the multimeter and it is giving me strange results (I think). So when i test the voltage for the throttle I get the following: When the throttle is at its lowest the throttle reading = 3.82, and the Torque (A4) reading = 4.65 When the throttle...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Done. :) So A4 is the Torque value going to the controller, do I need to do anything with A5?

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Just an update. Looks like the throttle issue was down to me using an extender, I removed an extender julet cable and plugged the throttle directly into the Arduino and now it's working (at least in the debug monitor). I am utilising the original code here and this is my output in the serial...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I tried to test this but its a painful without a breadboard from my initial tests it produced the same results as previously. Does the resistor need to go in a certain direction between the 2 points?

    Ok ordered a pack of 100 cheapest I could find! Will try this tomorrow.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    So tested with a multi meter and first checked the power voltage supply that reading was 4.7v then I checked the throttle reading and at no throttle it was reading 2.80 and at full throttle it was reading 2.79. Something must be wrong with the throttle. Do you suggest I order a new one can...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I'll source one and continue with this, I have plenty of cables and time to get this right. So happy to try multiple solutions then summarise on them.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I do like the sound of this however I'm not a electrical engineer :) so need a more step by step guidance, you talk about a switch is that another component that needs to be purchased and wired in? Any other components that need to be wired in? Do you have a photo of the finished solution?

    I’ve attached a photo of the setup unfortunately I don’t have a multimeter so will need to source one ASAP

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    So I'm trying to test this on my PC locally so I can get some serial output in a debugger. I'm using the original code for now just to test the throttle value however when I change the throttle the values don't change in the debugger they stay at a constant value (see screenshot), is this...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    ah ok makes sense. The throttle signal wire is white. I'll aim to give this a shot by the weekend.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Essentially what you’re suggesting is to pass the values of cadence and torque straight from the PAS directly to the Controller bypassing the Arduino board, right? if I do this would that mean that I can’t pass a synthesised cadence pulse to the controller when using the throttle? Or are you...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I have connected the VIN pin to the Controller 5v and the 5v pins to the PAS+Throttle. Following the original schematics and your suggestion.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Wanted to share some photos of work in progress next steps is to carry out some soldering and then do blink tests. I’ll share the schematics once I’ve finalised. 1. The first photo is the connection of the existing PAS to the Controller. 2. Second photo shows the connectors I’ve assembled for...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I have a query regarding these JST06R-JWPF-VSLE-D connectors, does anyone think it could cause problems if i changed them to Julet connectors (still running the same 4 cables), it just makes experimenting a lot more easier. I have made the connectors but I am not convinced that they are 100%...

    received these last night however I have no idea how to crimp and feed the wires into the connectors any pointers to videos or instructions on how I can do this please?
