Yes, possibly! However, they've missed the ball on so many occasions where they could actually have got ahead of the competition. The hardware is great, but their software offerings all feel like an afterthought, or a half completed student project. If either they (or at this stage, we)...

I was primarily talking about the M510, no doubt there's an M610 on the way. Rapid obsolescence is one of the risks when buying a non-mainstream solution, particularly of Chinese origin and particularly in a field that is undergoing a huge upsurge in both popularity and progress. It's...

I guess for 2 reasons: 1) Fun 2) It feels like the m500/600 series of motors have been superceded now so the odds of a third party undertaking any significant development on this old platform feels low. It does still feel like there's loads of potential to still be unlocked with these motors...

I don't think that's the point at all. The idea is to build our own display and buttons, with either improvement ergonomics (in the case of the buttons) or improved capabilites, such as the ability to integrate with a garmin watch, in the case of the display. Going from CANBus to UART seems a...

Nice! No sign of my cable yet, but the fact yours works is reassuring!

@captainhightop Look at this: https://www.ebike24.com/giant-ridecontrol-ergo-3-sg-control-unit 6 pins out.....Interesting.....

@captainhightop Kind of relevant to our other discussion about HMI buttons (I feel like I need a word for this, but "controller" is already taken). If we think that this is just 3 switches then in @Yendor 's case above it's almost certainly a fault with the display itself, right? @Yendor...

According to a manual that I found online here error 36 suggests a problem with the 'button' circuit: 36 Detection circuit for button is fault Not sure whether this is the power button on the bike frame, or the buttons connected to the display. I think I'd try to eliminate the latter first...

And here's me just ordering one of the 6 pin because I'm tight....

Looks like this listing might have them also...

Oh, so it sort of rotates around the bar, like a really short throw throttle?

I'd have thought we'd want to use something like this: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/tactile-switches/8998586 High IP rating and relatively large. Your idea of canibalising a game controller is probably a good, if expensive, one!

Yeah, that's really cool. Possibly a little wide for my tastes, but that sort of low profile design is perfect.

That's what I (and I think @captainhightop ) already have. I'm not a fan of that remote and the screen is really crap in sunshine, not to mention that the underbar nature of the clamp has always felt a bit weird to me. I don't hate it, but I do feel like it could be better. @thaeber that...

Huh! Good work! So I'm guessing this means that whatever hangs off the purple connector is just a trio of simple switches, and that whatever hangs off the green connector is what's responsible for translating those switch inputs into canbus commands. So as long as we've got a display with a...

I assumed the diagram above was for the purple connector. The shape is correct, as is the number of pins. Maybe I'd assumed poorly though! Is the DP160 just wired to the green connector?

Looks like it's documented here: https://github.com/OpenSourceEBike/Bafang_M500_M600/tree/main/CANBUS With the pertinent bit being this section near the top: HIGO-B5-Female: ────────┐ / 1 5 │ │ 2 │ \ 3 4 │ ────────┘ 1 Orange: VCC 2 White : CL 3 Brown : P+ 4...

What size is it please?

I'm 1.74m and am currently running a rather ridiculous DIY 145mm crank. I can't fault it!

I believe it's this one: https://github.com/OpenSourceEBike/Bafang_M500_M600/blob/main/Firmwares/Official/Motor/m600/CRX10NC4818i132014.6-20191126.bin EDIT: Kucko confirmed it's this one :-)
