I am attempting to hack this ebike motor to bypass all the proprietary stuff and what I'm seeing so far is encouraging

I just love the Dr. Emmett Brown lab organization. The same school to which I subscribe.

@MLE_online
What will you do with your hacked e-bike motor?

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@kete Use it to get this ebike working again

In situ hacking

[davebauerart@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online That's cool!

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

Even if this bike had worked, I probably would have done this anyway because this bike was designed to be controlled with an app on your phone and I'm not about having to use apps to use other things.

I am freeing this bike from the prison of surveillance capitalism

@MLE_online excellent work!

[stormgren@obsidianmoon.com]

@MLE_online I love this.

@MLE_online Way to go, this is so cool. Thank you for posting this series. I'm excited to see how the battery rebuild goes with the new BMS.

This is pretty great. Are you gonna write up your method? Or is it peculiar to the one design?

@tomjennings I think it would vary from design to design, but there are some general principles. This one actually turned out to be much simpler than I was expecting. It was just a matter of finding the hall effect sensor wires and the phase wires and getting them connected to the controller correctly.

I need to buy parts from AliExpress. The scotus ruling on tariffs came just in time

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@MLE_online it doesn’t do anything about de minimis or postage prices. I hope at least they’ll implement the lower tariff quickly.

@MLE_online I've been holding off on designing/ordering PCBs for the same reason.

I've always wanted to make my own boards. Mainly because I'm a lot better with hands-on stuff than computer designing; drawing a board with a marker and copying it on my laser printer for transferring to copper clad board would be easier for me than making one on a computer program and having it made.
