Magic Pie wiring

[Balderdash]

I've noted the connector/wire colours in the Magic Pie kit which I hope someone finds useful if they cut off the connectors like I did! 

There are prizes for the person who can tell me what the spare yellow wire from the Magic Pie controller does?

Magic Pie Connectors/Colours (Wire Colours)
-------------------------------------------
Multi-core Cable from Wheel/Pie:
Black 3-pin = Throttle (red/white/black)
Yellow 2-pin = Throttle Batt. Level LEDs (black/orange+rusty red)
Green 2-pin = Cruise Control (black/grey)
Blue 2-pin = Brake Cutoff Switches (black/blue)
White 3-pin = Pedelec (red/black/brown)
Red 2-pin = LED lights power supply (rusty red+black)

Cable from Throttle:
Black 3-pin = Throttle (red/white/black)
Yellow 2-pin =  Throttle Batt. Level LEDs (green/black)
No connector = Light Switch/Red Button (yellow/brown)

Cable from Brakes:
Blue 2-pin = Brake Cutoff Switches (red/blue)

Cable from Extra-Handlebar Buttons:
Green 2-pin = Cruise Control/Red Button (red/yellow)
No connector = Horn/Green Button (green/blue)

I think this yelow wire is for a Gm speedo meter.

I could be wrong.

Jim,

Now this yellow wire is useless,unmeaning,but in future we may need this one and add a function

Does this mean that TOM gets the prizes, or did the small print state that GM Employees were not allowed to enter the competition?

I think Yao and TOM had their own competition, to see how long it took before someone asked about the mysterious Yellow wire! 

Well at least now we know it's not supposed to be connected to anything.

Yes, sorry Tom, the very small print excluded employees and suppliers of GM 

So we still have the mystery of whether the Magic Pie controller has the alarm or wheel lock functions available? And which lights does it flash instead of the "beep" - the throttle LED's or bike lights?

There may be more hidden secrets of the Magic Pie...

PS Have you received your pie yet, Alan? I'm surprised more people haven't been posting reviews...

Hehe

This is like learning about a womans Gspots.  Press here and get a suprise, touch that and who knows what that will do. I stop while I am ahead, huh!.

The mystery function is GPS laser guided missile.

It's just arrived today , but I haven't had chance to find out what's inside the box yet, apparently, fitting the new dishwasher and sorting a problem with the heating is more important.
(That's female logic for you!)

Anyway, I expect the Magic Pie is still tired after its 5000+ mile journey, so a rest should do it good, but I will hopefully post some pics when I get chance to unpack it.

Tom should get some credit for the conjugation of meaning
to 'unmeaning' in his post.

Its a great word, I plan to use it anyplace unmeaingfullness
(unmeaninglessness?) can be used.

SORRY GUYS FOR ME GOING TO BECOME A FILTHY SPOILER IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
THE YELLOW WIRE IS A MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT ARTIFACT... and guess what?

It is supposed to be connected to a ...

a)Horn
b)Computer via USB to configure internal controller settings.
c)Pedelec torque sensor
d)2nd battery pack
e)Detonator
f)Cheese Cake
g)Duo Drive Synchronization system
h)Alan
i)Tom
j)Me
k)You

Guessy guessy,
there is a very very very very obvious hint in this post. So obvious.

[GM Brazil]

Hummm

I would "kick" (an brazilian expression to guessing an answer) the A, B or G....

I get the C, as this kit should also have the european version, so, it necessary to have this in the system.

YAO!!! When the cruise control will use the regen system to keep the speed at downhills too? This should be a very very nice technology for hilly areas!

[GoldenMotor]

I'm sorry dude, the correct answer is the letter that is coloured.

[GM Brazil]

Reeeealy good Yao.

I was already sure about choosing GM, more and more is getting better.

This feature will works only on kits to come or on the actual kits people will be able to enable this feature when it is ready?

[GoldenMotor]

kits to come, a few more months, but I guess it not much use for americans because in the end, people are only going to use it to tune down the top speed for european users, as well as lower the max amps that the controller would accept before the protection trips and shuts down everything for people in the sahara desert.

[Hyena]

Cool!
But how does that work from just one wire ? Do you pulse codes to it ?
I guess you get the voltage and ground from other wiring but wouldn't you need 2 additional wires for tx and rx ?

[Leslie]

Maybe we assume we only need to upload to the chip.
