Waterproof remote housing

works great
much more convenient than a wireless control in a bag
have good control
the magnet is relatively long and the range of motion is large

Nice! I’ve done something similar but have not water tested it yet. Have you done anything to waterproof/corrosion proof the bafang throttle control?

hot glue works well , but it’s better to coat with epoxy
silicon could work but in my part there was not enough room near the sensor

Really nice! Would you mind releasing a part list and maybe a small construction manual? I have two of those small remotes and would like to modify one.

Do you have a link to the throttle you used?

all plastic parts are local gardening store
If I had parts of PVC and glue then it would have been easier(more thin but not an opening option)

Thanks mate! How do you waterproof the thumb control?
How are using the reed switch?

Hi VeFoil!
Do you plan to have more than one channel on your remote? I use a the second channel button on my e-skate remote to switch on the waterpump when I’m ready to go and it’s really useful.

We converted the second channel to a three speed governor for learn, cruise, sport mode, but we could add a second channel switch also likely for this. Ill look into it, should not be an issue for them to add it to PCB before we go into production!

Great! It’s really nice to be able to swich on the waterpump at the last moment when everything is closed so it’s not running out of water too long. I used this %product-title% – Conrad Electronic Suisse connected in the channel 2 of my receiver.

i connected the switch directly to the power button (parallel without removing the switch)
and glue it with hot glue
on the outside I glue ring of metal

ring of metal

I see. That is pretty clever!
The thumb control doesn’t need to be protected against water?

there is only a magnet, a spring and a small sensor inside
a drop of glue on the sensor and wires and that’s it

Ok so I’m having trouble wiring my Hall effect sensor to my remote it’s not working with the magnets. Can anyone help me.

Maytech waterproof remote will be ready soon! :wink:
