Was an early adopter of the Orp horn! Best thing about the display controlling pedal assist is that I could tailor each level, my other bikes have quite big gaps between the levels which ends up with the lower levels never being used. Not with this, I've set the levels of assist to what is...
1st prototype, not sure I like the case but it all works, detects the pedal sensor fine puts out the appropriate throttle voltages as is pretty accurate on the speed and the battery. Won't stop me working on mark 2 & 3 & 4 etc..!
Did some more dashboard programming tonight, these little arduino boards can do so much, plus there's a ton of add ons. GPS modules, cameras, temp, humidity etc etc. Should have some more info by the weekend. Just got to get a 36v to 5v regulator!!
My other project is to build a dashboard for this thing, something that will show, battery, speed, assist level and temp. I've just learned how to program Arduino boards, these things are pence and very easy to program. Here's my first attempt.
Haven't done too much to the bike since the first flurry of excitement but as the dark nights creep in I decided to do a bit more modification.
New pannier bags as the Aldi ones had started to come apart, plus some new cork grips.
And not wanting to add more headlights/tail lights, thought I'd...
Lost key - check, no battery - check, no charger - check. Ticks all the "probably stolen" boxes. Especially with the "I have no knowledge of wattage etc..." statement.
