@MLE_online They call it CAN bus and not CAN'T bus for a reason

@MLE_online I have questions.

I'd forgotten all about the Pee Probe -
@MLE_online Did you see the $10,000 bounty for anyone who can make a Ring doorbell video cam stop sending to Amazon and send to a local IP, instead? For when you get bored. That looks like a beefy bike motor.

@MLE_online It's probably a mix of both, because chips store the data that would need to be changed. The chips themselves might need to be replaced, or a circuit designed to route around one. I should get one to take it apart. I have an Amazon Echo I've never used. I wonder if it uses the same technology. Hm.

Wow, nice work!

@MLE_online@social.afront.org oh yeah, the hall sensors are right here and probably the 3 cables of the power too, you can just swap the controller if it doesn't cooperate

@MLE_online this is so cool.

@Stellar Yep! Some motors will have their own internal controller stuff and you don't get the hall wires or phases broken out. That wasn't the case this time. The motor is running now

@MLE_online <Foley catheter has entered the, uh, never mind>

In situ hacking

@MLE_online That's cool!

In situ hacking
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
