Nothing much right now

When the heat strikes I do to. Once the temp goes above 90, I have difficult leaving the house. This is partly due to living in Santa Cruz for so many years, and personal preference.

Anyways, I got the front wheel bearings tightened up today – they were wobbling a bit and I didn’t know why. After the mechanic stopped laughing at me, it took all of 20 minutes to do. I’m really hoping to start replacing the battery interconnects soon – I want them done before the new motor mount shows up (is taking a while to get a 3d model built up – more money would speed things for sure).

As promised, here is the diagram with relays so you, too, can spin your GLEC motor.

Thanks for all the help – I hope this helps others as well.

Finally spun the new motor

Wow. Took a while, but with a new job, spare time is hard to come by. At least I won’t be travelling for business (yay!).

Turns out that I had to enable the forward pin by applying +12v. The contactor line-out is also a ground source (so I had to have the contactor supply +12 to the line). Interesting method, not what I’m used to, so it was a surprise.

I’m going to update the diagrams and will post them, just in case someone wants them.

YAY!
