Hi All, Greetings from New Zealand

Postby ADI8421 » 23 Nov 2023, 19:30

Quick Introduction: I'm a retired electronics hardware/firmware engineer based in New Zealand, recently confined to wheelchairs and mobility scooters. 10Km/hour forward speed isn't enough for me, so time to start hacking.

So I've figured I need to build a 'DWIZ-ADAPT' type Programming Adaptor ie. Separate TX/RX to 'One Wire' serial adapter.
I already have an FT232RL FTDI USB To TTL Serial Adapter.

If anyone can help with a link to the 'special' version of Wizard 5 I would be forever grateful.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers Jim

I can. But it wont make it faster. Unless someone has reduced speed for some reason already. Speed is a function of battery volts and gearing. And it cant go faster without adding more volts than your battery gives you.

PM me.

Speed was already set to 100% maximum, but it did solve my Forward Deceleration problem which was set far too course.
