    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    Has anyone had good success with VESC? I'm wondering how it compares to the Lebowski controller as far as customizability and ease of use? I'm considering this controller...

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    I'm coming around to the idea of the Lebowski controller.. I like the idea of open source and being able to build a power stage that meets my specifications (and modify it as needed) If I can find a cost effective Brain board, I feel I have the skills to build a power stage off of someone else's...

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    Does anyone have any links for people selling pre-populated and ready to go brain boards? I searched the sales adds but only found people selling PCBs, nobody with one fully populated and ready to go.

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    Do you have any experience with the KT open source firmware? I was wondering if that would be a better starting place to get my feet wet before diving right into making my own controller..

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    Hmm, Based on your build sheet you purchased the driver/brain section and only built the power control portion? That seems like it would take out a lot of the complexity down to something I'd be more interested in tackling.. Maybe I'll get this thing put together with the stock controller and...

    Breaking all the rules - cyclone dirt bike build

    Dang, That'll be a problem initially. The only controller they had in stock was the tiny sinewave controller, which doesn't appear to be bluetooth. At least it will let me get up and running..

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    The Lebowski controller sure looks like the ideal option if it weren't for the work to get one put together. I read your write-up on working with the Honda IMA, pretty impressive setup. While I don't doubt I could get that to work for my setup, the Lebowski looks like its going to take more...

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    As far as full control most of what I want is the ability to tune motor parameters and throttle response curves in order to get the throttle response working precisely. I likely am looking for FOC torque control, I think that will work better than speed control. However, for PAS likely it would...

    Breaking all the rules - cyclone dirt bike build

    Awesome build! Are you using the stock cyclone controller? If not, what controller are you using? Based on your video the throttle response looks really good. I'm working on making a trials bicycle/motorcycle hybrid right now, and have a cyclone on order. My biggest fear is the throttle...

    Any Open Source Firmware for Cyclone motor/controller?

    Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using open source firmware with the cyclone 3k mid-drive? I have on order a cyclone 3k with the tiny sinewave controller (all they had in stock). Is there any open source firmware someone could point me to I could use on that? Or...

    KT motor controllers -- Flexible OpenSource firmware for BMSBattery S/Kunteng KT motor controllers (0.25kW up to 5kW)

    Could someone point me in the right direction for a 5000 watt controller that will work with the open source? I'm trying to do a trials bike build and want full control over the motor and code to get the throttle response I want (fast and precise) I'm planning to use the cyclone 3000 for the...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look at the GNG one. Is the motor and electrical actually different, or just the brackets etc?

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Yea, I know I won't be sticking with the stock controller on either build, so I'm not to worried about that. The lighter and more powerful is tempting, but at this point its an experiment, so I don't think I can justify the extra $500 in something that likely won't work out. I doubt I need the...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Well after doing some more research I think I'm going to go with a cyclone 3000 kit (probably from Luna) with the stock controller initially. Once I get that working I will probably upgrade to an ASI if I can get programming software, so I can tweak and tune it. This option is a good amount...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Interesting, it's a shame ASI doesn't like to share that login.. That would be critical to me even wanting to give the ASI controller a try. I need to be able to tinker and tune or I wouldn't get the nicer controller..

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Tommm, Did you get your ASI controller from CYC or buy it yourself? Did they provide you with what you needed to tune the controller?

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    That's a shame.. I figured from what I had heard so far that might be the case.. Higher power motors tend to be harder to tune for, would be nice if they could correct that or if I had the ability to try and tune the controller better for the motor.. Until then I'll probably save my money until...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    I shot CYC an email to see if they give you the stuff needed to program the ASI if you buy it with the CYC.. If they do I might give the whole shebang a shot.. So long as I can program and tune it to my liking I can probably make it work..

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    I'm assuming something to do with the ability to tune the ASI controller to fit your needs? It supports hall sensors and FOC and the ability to switch between sensorless and sensored. In theory that means it has the potential for dead stop starts without issue if tuned properly. If you get...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    Hi Guys, I was looking into the CYC X1 Pro Gen 2 as the base for a e-bike / trials (motorcycle trials) bike hybrid that I am considering building. I plan to use it around my yard to practice trials (without the noise of a real bike!). I also want to be able to ride it around the area and take...
