I'm working on a twin motor bike my father started 10 years ago . My father passed away 2 years ago and I would like to finish that project
He was using 2 controllers BAC0281 with 2 GM 250W - I'm looking after the software that I can use to review the setup of the controller
Which software do I use best - Magic Pi3 , Edge ,4,5 ?
When using the software and connecting the controller with the USB cable , do I need to connect any other power source (B-B+ or H+H-) on controller or the controller will get his power from the USB cable ?
I have also installed 2 switches so I can drive either with front or rear or both engines
I'm using contact G (Gate) on the controller to switch off each engine - is that correct - it doesn't seems to stop the engine ?
I managed to have front engine working when connected to controller 1 but then rear engine on controller 2 doesn't work. When I connect rear engine to controller 1 then it works but front engine on controller 2 will not work.
So I'm sure both engines & cabling are fine but suspect maybe a controller 2 config conflict.
The brake switch works fine and open or shut contact between B, Z oV
Any suggestions ?
