Kickstand Sensor Bypass?

cgalford · September 26th, 2012, 10:37 AM

Had my first clubrace this past weekend and was running really late race prepping. I unplugged and unbolt the kickstand, and left it at home. I then tried to bypass the sensor only to find out it's a hall effect which needs 1.2V, down from a supply of 5V to give the kickstand up signal. Without any resistors i used a magnet taped to the sensor to get it running for the race weekend.

How have other gotten around this? I'm just going to make a volatge divider with a couple resistors but was curious if there was a better solution?

I just attached a small magnet to the sensor also, works fine.

Any tips on permanent solutions for this?

Yeah, 2 resistors. I made a replacement plug in that I'll post up pics later (or sell them if people want)

I'd buy one. I usually just get the bits from the local RadioShack but if you got something easy and mo betta I'll take one. Pm me if its available now.

Just got the parts in, that 3 way triangular connector was much harder to get then I thought it would be. Will have pictures and info up today or tomorrow

Here's the sensor bypass harness I designed. Uses OEM connectors and seals and the electronic bits are protected by a special conformal epoxy rated for high heat underhood enviroments. Pricing is $37 including shipping in the US.
If you would like one send paypal to chris@polymotoengineering.com (make sure to include your shipping address in the paypal payment!).
