What's with the recent gain in popularity with the M600 mid drive?

I for one would be VERY interested in a complete wiring diagram for the M620/G510 series of bikes, as I am in the process of changing to a Uart protocol format, from this useless Canbus setup.
Just waiting on the last final part to get here, before I jump off into the deep end.
Thank you,
Don

Please bare with me as I'm liaising with a group who are close to implementing a measure whereby a user can swap out the CANBus protocol to UART and vice versa

Not sure if this was mentioned recently but there was talk a few pages back about the WW Archon X1 not being available separate from ordering it on a bike. That appears to have changed. The WW website has options to buy a motor + X1 upgrade or install of the controller on a customer supplied motor. The description does mention to make sure the motor is UART before purchasing so it appears CANBus compatibility is still not there yet.

To the OP I also have noticed this too.
Four variables I am seeing that is allowing and prompting some companies to switch over.

1)After market controllers that upgrade the M600.
2)PEEK gear that cuts down on noise in the M600 which was kind of loud from the factory.
3)Size and weight
4)Power, as in too much for the Ultra, causing chain snapping with no thought to riding conditions or gear selections, no reports of this on the M600.

Some examples are the Luna and Area 13(Bolton with a joint project with Watt Wagons)

A fully upgraded M600 seems to be the perfect motor for the modern Ebike, and it still has a throttle, unlike the other motors from the big 4.

Yes, made worse as Innotrace does have controllers and is selling them, just not to anyone in the US. Not saying they aren't component limited as well, but I'm not seeing this exclusive as good news to anyone at the moment. Hopefully this improves at some point in 2022, although most microcontroller/electronics will still be hit during 2022 in general...


Yes. Ludi V2 was done by a few guys and it's predecessor was announced on ES, and I guess the lead developer has been working with VESC since 2015 or so on various projects.
Unlike what I've been able to find for the Archon (seems it's videos and docs are offline, at least from WW now? Someone pls correct me if wrong), the docs are freely available, and it's open source. BBHSD codebase was just merged to main, M600 codebase to come..

Is there schematic of the Luna Ludi V2 m600 controller?
