Throttle Lever Electronic Speed Controller for Trolling Motor

In this video, I illustrate the methods used to modify a gaming throttle lever controller for use with an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) with a trolling motor. This method can be used for a ESC servo tester controlled trolling motor or a Haswing Protruar 1.0 trolling motor.
Correction:
The lever has 90 degrees of travel and is geared to use the full 280 degree range of the potentiometer.
Note:
This was not the intended use for the V3 Quadrant lever potentiometer. I have modified it for this project.

Interesting components - I might just print such a throttle for myself to fit on a pot - it's weird that I never thought of it before?

@benruthlessburger8905 Год назад

Nice

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

Thanks.

@joatmofa0405 Год назад

0:26 - the lever does NOT have a 280° angle of movement - movement was less than 90°? (the gear on the pot may rotate more)

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

Yes, you are correct. I should have been more specific. I will update the narrative, thanks.

@brettwendt Год назад

Do you have a video showing the connections in the motor head. I have a Newport Vessels 46lb thrust motor and I’m hoping to do the same type of configuration.

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

This won't work with a standard trolling motor. It only works with a brushless motor.

This won't work with a standard brushed TM with or without a PWM.

Hi this is my first shot at putting a motor on my kayak. sooo many questions. do you have a post explaining the deafferents between an pwm and an enc

I don't have a post but you can find tons of in depth info on google. getting a basic understanding will help.

Which one of the two pots units would i need to convert from a minn kota turbo 65, 5 speed, tiller controlled speed switch to this lever set up your showing. My speed switch has physical damage beyond repairing - why im looking at a diy switch solution. Any advice helpful. Your videos are informative.

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

Thanks! This controller is designed for use with brushless trolling motors or ESCs. A 3 pin pot will not work on a standard trolling motor like yours.

@dp2599 Год назад

Thanks for the quick informative reply! Thought I'd ask that question-because on Amazon reviews, people are complaining that the "controller" they brought, for their Minn Kota is burning up, or exploding - they should of watched your video here!

I’ve tried a couple different setups and currently I’ve had this one on a couple months and man is this thing cheap and flimsy. The handle cracked about the second trip out and super glue has held it together. Besides buying a Newport throttle is there an option with the slide throttle that is durable (I’m talking just standard usage, no abuse)? It would be nice if someone would come up with a trolling motor pedal style foot controller for a yaks as my many military injuries have caught up with me. Thanks.

@Aksmaniyak 4 месяца назад

Bassman Strikes on YT has a side handle design that might work for you.

@davewesternky 5 месяцев назад

Great info sir! I recently got the same one but wanted to know if you knew a way so that neutral detent can be all the way back as full stop as I have a reverse switch on my control box? I just want it be like a normal throttle with the 180 degrees of travel starting at zero, middle 50% and full is WOT. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not a technical wizard but was an electrician for 20+ years so I get the jist. Thanks!

@Aksmaniyak 5 месяцев назад

You would have to adjust the handle the same way I did to find the center. Find the "0" point of the pot, remove it, and pull the handle all the way back, put the pot back in. I think that will work.

@davewesternky 5 месяцев назад

@@Aksmaniyak Roger that. Thanks

@michealeller9718 6 месяцев назад

Ia there any way to add a throttle like this to the endura max that has a built in PWM? maybe extend some wires to mount one next to a kayak seat?

@Aksmaniyak 6 месяцев назад

The Endura Max PWM is epoxied into the base of the head casing. You would need to extend the wires and relocate the head or build a new box.

@fishntools Год назад

I would like to build a concept in which the controller consists of a kill, fwd/rev sw and pot for motor speed. How do I communicate with the (brushless) ESC for the function of an added fwd/rev? I need the switch function for direction of travel so I can interrupt the rev mode long enough to active an actuator for my motor position lock. I fish rivers so I need my position lock to default as free travel in FWD. but need to lock motor travel for REV. (obviously) without the silly cords to do so!

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

You can use a wireless joystick ESC controller.

@fishntools Год назад

@@Aksmaniyak are there any hardwire solutions?

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

@@fishntools If you have a wired controller, you could trigger the kill switch or just add an on/off switch.

@PatM1 Год назад

Hi when you wire the 10k pot does the center lead of the pot go to the signal lead of the servo wire coming from the esc? Thx

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

Yes, the center lead of the pot is the signal.

@JStarFishing 8 месяцев назад

This controller wouldn’t be voltage specific would it? As in the same one could be used for 12, 24, or 36 volts?

@Aksmaniyak 8 месяцев назад

They would work for each voltage. The V supplied to the pot is determined by the motor input V.

@JStarFishing 8 месяцев назад

@@Aksmaniyak thanks for the quick reply. I’m planning on building two - one for my friend’s 12v 65# and later I hope to get a 24v 110# for myself. I’m already running a 24v xi3. The hold up has been trying to decide between their two models (with & without gear box). I have tried repeatedly to get more information from Haswing with zero success.

@Aksmaniyak 8 месяцев назад

Thanks. Haswing usually doesn't help much.

@JStarFishing 8 месяцев назад

@@Aksmaniyak I had great customer support with a Haswing bow mount when a control board went out (after years of service). Very helpful people on that end. It’s with product information and sales where I have hit a wall. Opposite of the usual with companies.

@Aksmaniyak 8 месяцев назад

Good to know.

@bretshivers8352 7 месяцев назад

has anyone fig out a way to have a wireless potentiometer? would be huge to be able to control the throttle wireless, then one could use a big servo to control the steering

@Aksmaniyak 7 месяцев назад

I haven't seen one.

@It.B.Fishing Год назад

Id love to have this, instead of the nob, on a PWM, having a throttle leaver, on my yak, would look, and be, so cool.

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

It would depend on the PWM and potentiometer.

@emmettbowen4431 Год назад

So why the 1k resistor?

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

That is due to the Haswing electronics. I don't fully understand it but the 2 guys I mentioned in the narrative have an understanding of it.

@joatmofa0405 Год назад

@@Aksmaniyak You want to limit the current flowing through the pot else it will damage the pot & cct.

@fishntools Год назад

Why bother with a wire gland? That enclosure is going to become a bathtub.

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

I suppose if you drop it in the water. The gland nut also holds the wires in place.

@fishntools Год назад

@@Aksmaniyak Will rain water too not accumulate in the bottom? I'm looking at it from a kayak application point of view.

@Aksmaniyak Год назад

@@fishntools It depends how you mount it. You can mount it at an angle and add a drain hole. You can add a rubber sheath under the bezel with a slit to help waterproof it like in vehicles. You can remove it after use and turn it upside down and drain any water. It is only a pot and wires inside which sit above the bottom of the box. Could it fail? Sure, just like any electronics.
