Adapter V2 manual
This is the manual of HW V02, the newer hardware version is in progress, waiting our users to feedback.
The V2 adapter is designed to make convenient for users to connect wires of e-bike/e-scooters to the VESC. Combine with Ubox V2, We can easily to build an e-bike/e-scooter.
This manual is based on Ubox V2, for the other VESCs, the conceptions are the same.
Features
- Horn, head light, turn light, brake & rear light, and reverse light support.
- High, middle, low, 3 level throttle support.
- Support both hall brake and mechanical brake input.
- Two / one wheel drive support.
- Power limit for compliance to the regulations.
Wiring
Mode switching
Adapter V2 has 2 mode switching: 2/1 wheel drive mode switching and power limit mode on/off.
2/1 wheel drive mode
Hold both the right and left brake handles then power on the system, the adapter will toggle the 2/1 drive mode, after the switching, the buzzer will ring once for 1 wheel mode, and twice for 2 wheel mode.
The principle of 2 wheel drive is to copy the control signal from main ESC to the second ESC. In order to implement this function, the CAN bus connection of two ESCS need to set off, for Ubox, please refer: The power button of Ubox#The click button configuration.
Power limit mode
Hold both the left brake handle and the throttle handle bar, then power on the system, the adapter will toggle the power limited/unlimited mode, after the switching, the buzzer will ring three times for unlimited mode, and twice for limited mode.
The principle of Power limit mode is to scale the throttle handle bar's input to the L level, ignores the H, M, L state.
Setup in VESC tool
Before setup control logic to the VESC, we need to setup motor's FOC first.
For 2/1 switch-able configuration, the setup is a little more complicated.
2 wheel drive mode only
If you want 2 wheel drive mode only, you can config the two ESC into CAN mode, let the control signals relay through the CAN bus.
2/1 wheel drive switch-able
If you want a switch-able system, you need to separate two ESCS from CAN bus, let them working alone.
