Hi there,
Pursuing data in search of a solution for my e-braking problem/question https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=107765&sid=1d80c7f6ff70318ca6a83e828f393716, today I managed to get out on the bike with a laptop, collecting serial data from the Cycle Analyst v.3 (CA3) using a macbook. Testing the setup, I was able to confirm - looking right at the macbook screen output - that live data was coming into the laptop. For example, I goosed the throttle, and could observe the throttle values change. We then started a new session, set the command to log the data (unix command "screen -L /dev/ etc."), and went for a ride.
Upon return I looked at the file which now contains about 1100 rows of data, which is about right for a 15+ minute ride recording at 1Hz. But the 1100 rows of data show almost no activity! There is a slight drop in the Ah value, a slight drop in V, but not much else changes. At one point in the data (row 806), there is an abrupt change in those two values, as well as a change in the "Deg" value, and what looks like a glitch in the D value. It is a mystery to me, because in those 15 minutes, I did all sorts of things with the throttle and brakes, working to repeat and record data on a problem I'm having with e-braking, but none of that activity is reflected in the appropriate values (e.g. "throttle-out").
If anyone with experience in these things could look at my file and suggest what might be going on, I'd really appreciate it!
I attach both an excel file I made with the data (shows headers), and the original file that came out of the CA3 (renamed as a .txt)
