    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Hi Matt, I also had the issue where I couldn't see the small blue LED light illuminate when I moved a cable through the gear sensor. I then made sure the plugs on the gear sensor leads were very firmly pushed into the VLCD5 sockets, and it then started to work. I don't use a throttle due to...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    @Lupe The MBrusa v20beta.1a OSF has been fine for me (over run issue resolved). With the OSF, one has the ability to modify the behaviour of the motor, and I particularly like the 'Ramp' option to configure the acceleration behaviour. This should help preserve the 'Blue' gear. If using the OSF...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Yes @Lupe, I did fit the gear sensor, which was an easy installation. It works as advertised and means I can continue peddling while changing gears, although I do reduce peddle pressure slightly while changing gears, just as one would do if there was no motor. The cut off seems to be about 0.5...

    Hi MBrusa. Great job on the OSF and configurator. The link to the 'wiki' on your 'https://github.com/emmebrusa/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-1' page no longer works... See the wiki for instructions https://github.com/stancecoke/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike/wiki

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    I have found that this can be accomplished when in ECO mode by pressing the 'Lights' button once to enter E02, and then pressing the 'Lights' button again, but only after setting the 'ENABLE_SET_PARAMETER_ON_STARTUP' to 1 in the 'Advanced settings' when flashing the controller. Please someone...

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    That's a very significant improvement in heat dissipation. I need to stay on ECO mode else temp sensor reduces power in quite a short time. My concern re the 'Thermal grease paste' is that it could be very messy if the motor needs to be disassembled at a later time. How messy are the motor...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Yea, me too. I haven't experienced any issues with the 20.1Beta. Having the option to change settings in the configurator will be a useful update, especially for those not so comfortable with editing the text file. Thanks to @StanceCoke for making the new configurator design available and...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Just be aware that the gear sensor requires 5v to run the electronics in the sensor. The standard brake sensors that come with the motor are purely a Closed/Open switch and the brake sensor plug has only 2 of the 3 slots populated (see image below). The VLCD5 brake sensor sockets do have all 3...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    I wonder if part of the delay is due to the time taken for the motor to start assistance as MBrusa mentioned in a previous post. Maybe the next MBrusa version will reduce the delay.

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Apologies if this has been posted previously... I have an Alfine 11 speed IGH (Internally Geared Hub), and found that gear changes would fail due to the force applied by the TSDZ2 to the drive train (even when I reduced pressure on the pedals while pedalling). I would need to stop pedalling for...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Firstly, let me say how appreciative I am of the effort that has been put in by all the people involved in the development of the open source software for the TSDZ2. In particular the team who developed the version for the original displays (VLCD5 in my case). So thanks MBrusa for the latest...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    I purchased one of these gear sensors and have fitted it near the gear changer on the handlebar. I haven't tested on the road but I can confirm it does turn the motor off momentarily (maybe 0.5 of a second (estimated)) when changing gears on the workstand. I suspect it will be the solution to...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    Thanks for your reply. There is no 5v on either of the two brake sensor pins on the VLCD5, either measuring pin to pin or either pin to ground. There is a small voltage (<1v) that decays quite quickly in 1 second or so. This is measuring with a multimeter, so there may be a higher voltage, but...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    I found this item, which appears to be what we need for the Gear shift sensing as it connects to the existing VLCD5 brake sensor sockets, but it doesn't appear to use 5v source. Unsure how it can work without the 5v. It also has brake sensors suitable for hydraulic brakes...

    Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

    I have a Shimano 11 speed IGH and find that I need to stop pedalling for a second or so to allow the hub to change gears. This can cause a loss of momentum and riding rhythm. This is partially due to the TSDz2 continuing to power the drive even though I am only applying a little pressure on the...

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Just be aware that the type of converter you have linked to are rated as Max 3A, and are not able to supply that current continuously. Likely only around 1.5A to 2A continuous.

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    I haven't fitted the conductive pads as yet. I will update when I have I have fitted and tested. Unless there is good contact between the conductive pads and the casing, they may not be that effective, but worth a try.

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    It may be that with the original firmware, the motor is less likely to reach the high temps that occur when using the OpenSource firmware. Emma

    I have the 8 wire version. I spliced into the wires that were attached to the Thr, Gnd and +5v locations in the image below, which was found here - https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-firmware/TSDZ2_wiki/wiki/How-to-install-motor-temperature-sensor... I believe that some suppliers of the motor...
