TSDZ2 OPENSOURCE FIRMWARE | PART 4

PART 4 - Connecting LCD3 and Flashing Opensource Firmware to the motor

If you haven't seen Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3 then choose the links below, otherwise welcome back.

This video guide will take you through how to make up a cable to connect the KT-LCD3 Display. This is needed to configure the Opensource Firmware on the motor. After connecting the display I flash the new firmware on the motor.

To connect the LCD3 you need a socket just like the one on the end of your current display. I managed to make up a connector using the Y-splitter extension cable that came with my Speed sensor. It was pretty time consuming since this cable only carries 3 wires. I stripped it all the way back and soldered to the ends of the pins. Then I used hot glue and heat shrink to finish it off. This is your best bet so you can easily go back to your old display in case you change your mind.

Flashing the new firmware is pretty easy, so nothing new there but I did get the RX and TX wires crossed. The cirrect wiring is shown near the end of my video but I will post it in the Wiki soon.

Just to let you all know, I have been using the firmware for a week now and I can tell you that it is awesome and well worth all the hassle. Note it is still in beta so don't go jumping in unless you want to help with the development.
