5.3 also has Constant Torque pedal assist, added by someone on this threadjaykup wrote: ↑Jan 19 2022 9:58pmPAS was added to the VESC firmware a year ago by @marcos (Axiom guy) on this forum who works with Luna Cycle on their Luna Ludicrous V2, a VESC based controller for the BBSHD.
I haven't tested it yet, but here is the info:
This commit enables cadence-based pedal assist for ebikes using
quadrature-style pedal speed sensors.

I saw offers on Banggood and Aliexpress but I'm afraid they don't have the same quality or not have genuine chips.
Thank you for adding that feature
I bought mine off a random seller on Aliexpress for about $80 shipped. The chips appear to be the same as a few other people who posted detailed pictures. I'm fairly certain they are all the same, probably even made in one large batch.
VESC firmware supports brushed motor also, though I have never tested it, quoting Trampa
Flipsky mentions only FOC (sinusoidal), but suspecting that the VESC firmware shipped with the unit support all the above modes.Modes: DC, BLDC & FOC (sinusoidal)
I don't think a email screenshot needs to be posted, but I think most of us are interested in your summary of what they said regarding firmware.
I've also taken the time to speak to them, and have a controller on the way.
Well that's quite good to hear if true.Hanlon's razor applies and they are doing their best to amend things
This is fantastic. Seriously.
Things are rarely as simple as they seem to be. For instance, engineers might be 100% willing to do that, but some obscure marketing guy 'higher up' had some made-up reasons to say no.b264 wrote: ↑Jan 25 2022 12:51amThis is fantastic. Seriously.
The only problem is that it's not "difficult" or "time consuming". They can just post a couple text files from their computer for free and it's done, they have abided by the license terms.
This isn't something that needs a whole team to engineer a fix for.
It literally is free and takes a couple minutes.
It is good they're going to work that into their schedule, though legally they should wait to ship any more units until they complete that.
It's literally the law and the engineers should be doing this anyway as part of their work. You don't need to ask permission to follow the law at work. You just do it as part of the coding you're doing. It's as much a part of the process as compiling is.BalorNG wrote: ↑Jan 25 2022 1:23amThings are rarely as simple as they seem to be.

'Flipsky' is not a shop run by a couple of engineers, but pretty large business and chinese basically *invented* bureaucracy.
I'm yet to find a jurisdiction where multi kW electric skateboards are allowed on public roads or pavements, but no one seems to give a shit about that around here... Not least Benjamin and Frank who seem to make money selling these devices that are clearly not legally used.b264 wrote: ↑Jan 28 2022 10:28amIt's literally the law and the engineers should be doing this anyway as part of their work.

If you were a truck driver, you don't need to ask your boss for permission to stay under the speed limit.

Adherence to safety standards are another thing you "just do as part of your job"... Do any electric skateboard manufacturers even attempt to comply?
I mean frock... Ben and Frank's marketing literature, for illegal/illegally used products is full of activity that's not only illegal but poses immediate danger to the general public. But their GPL is being violated by releasing a compiled binary?
Cry me a river.
