I'm tempted to do something similar. I'm sick of the motor outpacing me with the speed set to 100%. I like an 80rpm cadence so will set the speed to 67% for PAS 2 to 8 and see how my commute goes tomorrow.

Good to hear!0utrider said:Darth, I'm snapping one up as well.
One person lost two of them.jpo said:I don't want to push the setting anywhere close to where I risk the controller. It's great that there is this community willing to risk it and ultimately improve the stock setting.
Em3EV has suffered warranty claims and astmacca sums up the current, incomplete, consensushie2kolob said:Just recently my second controller went belly up while riding along the Wasatch Mountain range... I used only the first two preset PAS levels(out of the nine PAS level setting) PAS1 and PAS 2 (current 52% and 56% respectively) with no throttle in the ride... The motor enclosure was noticeably hot.
Keeping the cadence up wouldn't be necessary if there was phase current limiting in the Bafang controller which Em3EV said it didn't have and Kepler thought it probably did. I tried to resolve this uncertainty in the last series of tests.astmacca said:Since following this thread and seeing what is working for other people, taking into account Paul from EM3ev comments on durability

Seems that for the purposes of NOT fwarking up the controller and blowing FET's, you need to try and keep the cadence up to a reasonable level most of the time, not bog it down (correct gear selection) and not run big startup current from standstill.
Yesterday I did the route, as usual, without assist and it seemed much harder than it did last week. The modest climbs were depressingly steep and even the flats sloped upwards. The ride had become a hard grind so just a couple of days is enough to change your perception of assist, even on a route you are very familiar with. This would also change your opinion of desirable assist settings so, when setting up your controller a factor to be considered is your level of addiction.
The extension cables I ordered from Tony arrived over the weekend. I wired one of them up and it's working great. So much nicer and quicker than my jumper method.tln said:PM me if you want one. I also have some cheap TTL USB on the way, and was intending to offer both as a mini kit.

Not sure how many more Tony has, but if anyone is still looking for a display extension cable to use as a programming cable, drop him a line. I can now personally vouch for his speedy shipping and great price, as well as the fact that these are indeed the correct cables.

I just programmed my new BBS02 for this and it takes a good 2-3 seconds for the half twist throttle to get to full power. It ramps up in distinct stages. Maybe 5 or so.
I changed on my throttle handle tab, designated assist to 9, and speed limited to by display command. On the basic tab I have assit0 limit current to zero and limit speed to 100%
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Same here. Just changed it yesterday and now all is right with the world....pjgold said:Somebodystopme!! said:Has anyone experienced a slow throttle response when pas is set to zero?

I have always had this issue, but I just spotted on the French forum that setting "speed limited by display command" is the culprit. I reset mine to 40kph and hey presto no more lag interesting my doesn't limit to 40kph either, no load in top gear is 58 kph.
I'll have to try the PAS now and see if they is any difference with that.
Try installing the windows driver on this page then plug the device in. If that does not work it may be a counterfeit USB device.liontail said:I plugged this cable into the controller-side of the unit, then into my windows 7 computer, turned on the battery, and can't get the software to recognize this unit. In my "Devices and Printers", under "Unspecified", I get a FT230X Basic UART that under status says "Needs Troubleshooting" whenever the USB cable is plugged in - regardless of what the other side is connected to.
That's odd. It should light up when you first turn the display on. It will go out when the magnet passes it for the first time then pulse on for each subsequent pass.liontail said:Additionally, the red LED on the speedo sensor doesn't light up when I turn the battery on. However, this light doesn't initially turn on when I power up the system normally. It only lights up when the wheel starts spinning.
