Thank you, that's good to know. I'm deliberating as to whether the controller is totally dead, but it all might be a complete waste of time trying to figure out then attempt to fix it. My own fault. Live and learn... I obviously need more practice with a soldering iron, before I do anything else!
574W at 15A? Wow! Very interesting! What parameters did you change to get that, and what version of what software are you using? I think I've got Penoff's v1.1.
Thank you Peter, that's good to know. It's brilliant that Greenbike have a version with the gear sensor and light cable. I suppose it's Russian roulette as to whether I get stung with VAT and taxes, depending on how thoroughly imports are being inspected - it might even depend on what postal service you use. Were there any extra charges, and what postal service did you select?
Yes Neal, I am going to have to remove it whether I replace or attempt a repair. Which parts should I apply the voltage meter to? I'm not great with electronics - I'm used to computers where you just throw whole cards in/ out of a PC case, if faulty, with no soldering necessary (or possible, or financially advisable, usually). It'd be wonderful if I could repair the faulty one, so that I have two working controllers - in case I manage to fry another one! (Which is likely) I found these videos on Youtube on how to remove the controller and replace:
peter.c - is your Bafang motor now fully operational again?Mine arrived today order placed 19/09/21 had been reposted from a uk address/mail centre so no extra cost
Have always used the suggested post method on check out 10 to 14 days
PS Have attempted to remove the potting putty and gave up do not have the patience or steady enough hands any longer
That must have been very annoying. Two replacements? Is this your third controller? Where did you buy the duff ones from? Which motor do you have? I'm avoiding ordering a new controller until I'm certain that my soldering skills are much improved - I'd only be tempted to rush it again... sparks will fly
Sounds like Green bike kit have good stock - but they look identical to the controllers Brighton ebikes are selling - theirs are delivered via Royal Mail first class. There's not much said on these forums about Brighton ebikes, or their controllers. I can't find the controllers on their website, but they say they are available for £102 delivered. They don't accept Paypal, which is worrying. I get the impression that their warranty may not be valid if I cut the connectors off to solder on the battery wires... evasive when I enquired.
No mosfets? Looks sophisticated, expensive.use this controller
