This conversion method can be applied to basically any electisan scooter ( Tier and the new Jump...) ?

get an st link and find the appropriate firmware for this scooter (not birds custom bs) then you will have to get the Bluetooth module for this scooter original manufacturer model which is some random company out of china then install the Bluetooth and ride away. or you can take the motor for this and rewire it to an es4 or a lime and find a way to make use of this wonderful motor which is really the thing you are after because who wants a 50 lb scooter nicknamed the tank?
anyways I was a bird mechanic before they laid us all off and I will be looking into making this work but so far the idea I have is the best and most logical way I can think of to make this work. I have several es4 which are converted and several lime ninebot models that im working on converting and I have converted the m365 into a m365 pro with updated display dashboard which hasn't been released yet. so I know this bird zero is going to be a challenge. I will update if I come up with anything
This method can really be used with ANY scooter. Replace the non working parts with generic, you'd really only need a throttle and controller
I completely agree, theres no issue. I just encourage people to use google before postinglurkinglime wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 1:14 amWhile it usually is, it is not always as Lego simple as connecting color coded wires. Some motors have different orientation for their hall sensors, requiring specific controllers. Likewise, not all brakes or throttles work correctly with different controllers. On a couple projects I had to track down the electronic gremlin messing it all up and it was a electronic brake or throttle that wasn't sending the message my controller wanted to hear. Lighting is also a common sticking point. Admittedly, there is a lot of info that people skip right over, but let's not make it a big issue. Ultimately, we're all here to learn and help others.
That's how i got mine friedBono wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:30 pmDunno. I just connect puzzle and wires schemes from this thread. This connector (5 PIN CONNECTOR) is the only one interrupting/splitting signal from motor to dashboard. MAN IN THE MIDDLE
5 PIN CONNECTOR:
RED - BLACK is probably battery which powers GPS board and provide Voltage info back to Bird's network.
So we end up with BLUE - GREEN - YELLOW nothing else
Anyway I think the disconnection after few sec is due to signal from the board - but I don't want to cut them in half to just merge them, becouse I'm not sure about this.
Still, dashboard doesn't lights up ?! :/
Can be that those are data wires and real deal is happening inside motor controller... then we are kinda fu%*#d
ABOUT shorting connections out - yeah, few spark here and there, I hope it’s still fineUnicycleSanta wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:40 pmReceived my VESC today, I still have no idea how this little thing is supposed to put out more power than the 1000w XLD controller. This thing is rated at 50A continuous, whereas the big XLD controller with all the heatsinking is only rated to 38A...
