Magic Pie & Smart Pie Discussions / Looking for a programming cable for mp2 (PI-2001)
« Last post by Patrick001 on December 24, 2024, 10:48:08 PM »Hello im patrick from the netherlands.
I have drifttrike with a goldenmotor frontwheel.
I want to reprogram the internal controller because the maximum speed is to slow programmed at this moment.
So I need the cable which is no longer for sale anywhere.
it concerns the cable pi-2001 which I have selected via various sites. who still has 1? and would like to sell it to me and possibly send it to me
thank you in advance

General Discussions / Re: EZkontrol Skid Steer Vehicle
« Last post by Bikemad on December 19, 2024, 09:23:31 PM »Hi and
to the forum.
I don't have access to any of the EZ controllers, so I don't know what throttle programming options might be available within the Android EZ-Tune App.
The GM site states,"There are hundreds of programmable control parameters for you to play around and fine tune your drive system to satisfy your expectations!"
However, I previously tried installing the App on my Android phone to see what options would be available, but without being able to actually connect to a controller there was absolutely nothing for me to see.
Unfortunately, I also don't know whether the the EZ-B481000 controller comes already calibrated for the HPM-10kW motor, it might be worth contacting your GM dealer/supplier directly.
If anyone else on the forum has any experience with the EZ controllers they may be able to assist you with some "more helpful" information.

General Discussions / EZkontrol Skid Steer Vehicle
« Last post by Dkoutras on December 19, 2024, 09:36:30 AM »Hello everyone,
I have constructed a skid steer, tracked vehicle, for agricultural applications, using 3 x HPM-10 Kw motors (one motor for left tracks, one motor for right track and the last for the PTO (Power Take Off)). In order to control them, I used a VESC 75/300 esc. I am considering fro the new version of my vehicle to use the EZkontrol 48V. But I have the following question: The signal that controls the esc will be a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), at 1500[ms] I want the motor to stay idle, at 2000[ms] it should go full throttle ahead, at 1000[ms] it should go full throttle on reverse. Is there a way to program that behaviour via the EZkontrol app? Also, does the EZkontrol (48V - 1000A) comes callibrated for the HPM-10kw?
Please let me know about your experiences!

« Last post by Orgoglio on December 17, 2024, 04:12:40 PM »Thank you for your reply. It is wired as per the diagram. Ive swapped hall sensors without change. No error code upon throttle manipulation in either forward or reverse (it draws current and amps, as would be expected--but just grumbles and vibrates). Motor shaft rotates (not freely...presumably a result of permanent magnets?...but is not too difficult to spin). Motor is not bolted to anything...just sitting on a bench. Battery is at 72% and 53 volts. I have thus far been unable to connect to the PI-800 software--device doesnt show up on the com port and gives me an error when I try to connect. The controller gives me 16 beeps when connected to USB. It could be that i'm using a windows emulation software (going to rectify that shortly). Thanks again for your help.

If all six of your Phase wires are connected as shown below they should not be causing the problem:
Click image to see full size version.
Have you tried swapping over to the spare Hall Sensor connector to see if it makes any difference?
When you move the throttle and the motor twitches, does the controller emit an error code (series of beeps/flashes)?
With the battery power turned off, can you physically rotate the motor shaft at least a complete turn by hand?
Is the motor actually bolted onto a temporary or permanent mounting plate or is it just being tested loose on the bench/floor etc.?
Are the voltage settings in the controller correct for the battery voltage being used, and is the battery at least 50% charged?
I'm not sure what else to say at this stage.

General Discussions / GM 10kW with VEC500 rumbles and grumbles, but does not spin.
« Last post by Orgoglio on December 16, 2024, 06:03:24 PM »Howdy. Name's Fred. I have golden motor 10kw with a vec500 (and the outboard boat throttle option) that I bought a couple years ago as a means to covert a small john boat to electric power. System came with no instructions, but I have it wired per the intrawebs and your helpful forum. I get a green light and happy controller beep when powered on...but advancing the throttle in either forward or reverse results in motor twitches and vibrations without rotation. Presumably this is a phase issue? Apologies in advance for my ignorance and gratitude in advance for any help.

The photo is just the default size todays phones are capable of doing
I wish it was not the case to this but it’s more convenient to be able to just upload it without the need to modify it.
I would need to make it run without a battery first then I need to wire it out, the pictures you shared already help a lot.
All my best,
Waheed

« Last post by Bikemad on December 02, 2024, 02:09:34 AM »So I assume the throttle signal can be either on or off, or an pwm signal type, so if I give this signal some voltage it should indicate throttle on to some extent? I also have a question what would the cruise signal indicate.
The throttle signal wire requires a voltage of ~0.8V to 4.25V to control the motor speed. The motor should start to turn with a throttle signal voltage of ~1.25V and maximum motor rpm is reached at ~3.25V. Below 1.25V it will not run at all, and above 3.25V it will simply remain on full throttle.
The cruise signal wire is simply switched to ground (B-) when the cruise button is pressed to activate (or deactivate) the cruise function. Applying either of the brakes (or twisting the throttle) will also deactivate the cruise control.
It would be great if we can allow higher resolution images. always have to try to down size the photos
Your attached picture of the control harness is a whopping 4032 pixels wide and 3024 pixels high!
Full HD is only 1920 x 1080 and 4K is 3840 x 2160, I really don't see a need for excessively high resolution images (or their associated large file sizes) as attachments on this forum.
