Epoch Fet tutorial

Post by arfin »

Getting everything:

The hardest part to get for me were wires, huge mission to find the wires I did here.

Step 1:
Image

Start by removing the enamel coating on the magnetic wires using the solder to melt them.

Step2:
Image

Solder the 2 magnetic wires to the Motor input chip.

Step3:

Solder the 10K resistors using this diagram.

Should look like this:

Image

Step4:

Now tin the Wires (Easy enough)
Image

Step5:

Now follow the diagram in step 3, and solder on the wires to the Fet mod, I had a close-up pic with all wires, but can’t find it (some others are missing as well) This is what happens when you only have an 8mb Card.

Step6:

Solder the Red and black wires to the pcb, so far you should have these two wires, and the original magnetic wires soldered to the pcb.

Step7:

Before you solder the motor wires on, first test them by hitting the throttle, and touching a wire motor to the motor pad, if it works then you should hear a speed increase, if not it shouldn’t move. Once you have that tested, connect the wires accordingly.
