Title: MP5 Controller in MP4
Post by: Marlz on August 31, 2018, 03:26:59 AM

This is supposed to be possible right?

My current problem is the hall sensor sockets being different sizes.  And even when I try to connect the wires manually (without the socket) I can't get it to work.

So I guess my first question of whether it is even possible (I was told by goldenmoter.ca that it is) is what needs to be answered before I can figure out what the next problem is.

Any help much appreciated.

The MP5 controller should work in a MP4 motor as the MP4 and MP5 are both designed to work with vector controllers, but the MP4 and MP5 controllers are not compatible with the MPIII.

The different Hall sensor sockets do not use the same pin configuration, so the motor will not run until the Hall sensor wires are correctly configured.

If you have the small white socket, the wires should be connected as shown here:

But if you have the larger black socket, the wires may need to be connected as shown here:

I have tried to show the Hall connector wires more clearly in the attachment below.
