^tom^ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 As posted befor somewhere from arbee, but here some pics from it. Sorry for the bad quality. The orange cables are the new one. The poti is the green one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Can you explain what you tapped the 3 wires to? i was only going to use 2 out of the 3 wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Did you cut a hole into the case so the poti is easily accessible or is it loose on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I drilled a hole in the case: Poti is comming from here: http://www.dx.com/p/maitech-20050303-50k-double-potentiometer-volume-potentiometer-silver-green-308697 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 would you say it is still rain proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 hmm, good question. It is not the EU i will drive in rain! It is my nice weather wheel. But as long it is normal rain for some minutes......and this is why I did mount it on this "end", because the electronic is at the other "end". So even in the worst case, nothing should be happen.....and you can seal it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've found in the past on my quad bikes that you can get a good seal around the fitting with ordinary Kitchen/bathroom silicon and for the gaps around rocker switches and push switches a generous helping of petroleum jelly/Vaseline pushed well in works well as long as you top it up regularly and wipe the surplus off the exposed surfaces so they're not slimy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What ohm potentiometer did you use? We have experimented with something in the 200k ohm range. Is yours very linear? Why does the negative need to connected to the pot at all? The way we are doing it, is to splice the pot meter into the positive wire, connecting between the middle post and one of the outer ones. No need for a 3rd wire. Thoughts? Or this way:http://cdn.instructables.com/FRI/2WGC/GQBCIF7W/FRI2WGCGQBCIF7W.LARGE.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Do you talk to me? Still this poti: http://www.dx.com/p/maitech-20050303-50k-double-potentiometer-volume-potentiometer-silver-green-308697 I connected it the way you will normaly do it (if I research the www). I do not know why the poti has 3 pins but it must be something. It feels really linear to me. Not any problem to adjust to the level you like to have it. Your idea wiring http://cdn.instructables.com/FRI/2WGC/GQBCIF7W/FRI2WGCGQBCIF7W.LARGE.jpgis the same as I did it, exept the oposite from plus/minus. So I am not a electrican and can not really explain why or why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks! A 100k potentiometer was enough to complete silence the sound at full attenuation? Just checking. I wired it differently (using only 2 posts on the potentiometer) and the attenuation requires a 200k ohm version to fully silence the beep.

^tom^ Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 The poti from DX was able to do so. I'm very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I checked it today. So the poti is not linear, but it is no problem at all the get to the level you like to have it. It goes to 100% silent. I already ordered one more for the GW18 I'm waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridAst Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Installed a 100k ohm pot in my gotway 14 today. Its very much enough to silence it 100% Thanks for the info all of you who contributed to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planetpapi Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Sorry about the silly question. You are all figuring out to silence the beeps? If that is true, can we just tape the speaker holes with duct tape or something without going into electronics soldering etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I need to hear the beeps, otherwise I do not know what is going on. But I do not need hear them so loud! That all depense at the surrounding noise what is the poti for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It could really do with the warnings being blue toothed to your phone so you could set it to vibration warnings and have blissful silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridAst Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So far I just use the app. I have a smartwatch that runs the app (an Inwatch z) so I have speed though its slightly off actual speed, battery estimate and distance on my wrist. Kind of convenient. Not sure if there is any other info the beeping warnings can convey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridAst Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Interesting thought. There are Bluetooth transmitters reasonably priced. I'm thinking of instead of a pot mod on my rockwheel, wiring up a BT transmitter instead. That way I would have the beeps bluetoothed directly to my ear buds.

Gimlet Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Or you could solder the wires to a headphone socket and drill the case and fit it so you can plug it in from the outside. It would be nicer if you used one of Jane's USB chargers wired in inside the case to power it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridAst Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So that means you have to solder the wires to the headphone jack and then lead the BT device outside of the wheel to charge it? Right now I'm planning on drilling two holes in the side of the euc case and securing the BT module to the outside of the case so I have easy access to the on/off button and to charge it. Then add two earphone jack plugs, one male, one female running through the two holes I drilled. The female will lead to the speaker and the male will allow me to plug into either the BT module or the jack for the speaker. (The silver colored jack the device comes with is just a double male connector. I don't plan on using that) As for "Jane's USB chargers". Tell me more?
