Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control system includes a transmission device and a transmission operation device configured to operate the transmission device. The transmission operation device includes transmission operation controller circuitry configured to transmit a first command to an assist operation device of a human-powered vehicle through wireless communication. The transmission device includes first communicator circuitry, an actuator, and transmission controller circuitry. The first communicator circuitry is configured to receive a first shift command transmitted from the assist operation device in a case where the assist operation device receives the first command. The actuator is configured to perform a shifting action. The transmission controller circuitry is configured to control the actuator so that the actuator performs the shifting action in response to the first shift command.

Abstract: An electrical device for a system of a human-powered vehicle comprises a controller. The controller is configured to selectively act, based on reference information relating to the system, as each of a master controller and a slave controller. The master controller is configured to transmit a first control signal to a different slave controller of a different electrical device of the system. The different slave controller is configured to be operated in response to the first control signal. The slave controller is configured to be operated in response to a second control signal transmitted from a different master controller of a different electrical device of the system.

Abstract: A control device comprises a controller configured to control an actuator to move an output member in a first actuating manner in a first state where an electric power source configured to supply electricity to the actuator is in a first power-source state and where a movement of the output member does not reach a target movement after the controller controls the actuator based on control information. The controller is configured to control the actuator to move the output member in a second actuating manner different from the first actuating manner in a second state where the electric power source is in a second power-source state different from the first power-source state and where the movement of the output member does not reach the target movement after the controller controls the actuator based on the control information.
