I am not sure if I should tag this onto my last post or make a new one, so feel free to shout at me for hogging this forum at present.
Anyway, New controller for pswpower wheel.
Current Pas sensor on the crank will not work with the new controller. I have made sure wiring is correct and the led on the Pas sensor does flash when turning the pedals, but the rear wheel motor does not turn.
If I take the pedals turning with the Pas sensor that came with the controller, the motor kicks in ok.
I would have thought a group of pulses from the current Pas sensor would be enough.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is the sensor rotation direction correct for the Kt controller software in theory it should work.
Try rotating the pedal backwards or flipping the sensor & or disc to see if it helps.
Also make sure the sensor magnet gap is about 1mm.
If all fails use the KT supplied one which works.

Topbikekit also sell KT components all will be compatible, just select the right connector. My next build will be with a LCD4, loving it's compactness.
