Hi All,
Ive got a motor controller that supports potentiometer. Im looking to add a hall effect accelerator. Is there an adapter or do you have to create/build one yourself?

Thanks

 

Welcome to AAC!
Can you post a link to the Hall accelerator?

 

Thanks Alec...pls see link below

Thanks

 

Now that that's cleared up,

1. what is the range of voltages on the wiper of the pot.

2. Also can you confirm that the output of the pot is DC and

3. which end of the range corresponds to maximum speed?

4. If you know, is the output of the foot pedal maximum when fully depressed?

 

So many questions, i have no idea!

Hope that answers all your quesions.

As you can see im a knob, i mean novice when it comes to stuff like this
Thanks

 

See this discussion: https://visforvoltage.org/forum/9528-switching-between-potentiometer-and-hall-effect-throttle

Are you sure that you cannot just install the Hall effect throttle with no "adapter"? Of course, positive, negative and signal wires have to be properly connected. What brand and model number is your motor controller?

 

Sorry, we cross posted. That controller advertisement lacks information. Apparently, its pot is 100K ohms. Can you measure the voltage across the two outer pins of that pot. Center pin is the wiper, i.e., signal.

 

Help me out using a mulitimeter...if "off" on the left is "1",where do i have to set the dial?

Appreciate your help?

I have tried to connect hall effect to potentiometer as i didnt want to smoke anything!

 

If you are measuring voltage, you want the red lead to be in the socket labeled VΩHz on the far right.

Do not attach the Hall device to the three pot wires until you know the voltage.

Do you have an instruction manual for your multimeter? Please read it.
