Hey Lenk,
...so my question; are you changing your setting via the "Beta-app", or does your bluetooth stil working after the firmware update?
You guys having the problem that your throttle hit to hard? Thats what i would like to have.
i was able to set the amps to a higher value via the beta-app, but cant go higher then 40amp on the battery (battery fuse).
-->The amps in the app, those are the phase-amps, right? how do i know how much phase amps i can set, to not burn the fuse on the battery?
cheerio, föppel
Howdy, I am still changing all my settings via the Beta app. Never was able to create a user account with the android app released here in the US. Talking with the SW engineers I work with, based on the nature of the errors that are generated while attempting to create a user account, the app contains some coding errors that have not been resolved.
Regarding throttle response, i cant really get it to come on any differently no matter what I do. There are three beta app settings for throttle type - current, power,& speed. I've asked Jon on two separate occasions to please explain how each of these has been configured to work so that I can better understand how to config the throttle for my applications. I have tried each setting and it feels no different. Jon has not responded to this specific question.
I have made some progress getting the bike to respond for PAS and throttle more consistently, but its pretty ridiculous to have a controller that doesn't have the functional programmability of at least something like an infineon base controller.
I asked jon to provide the software so I could just program the controller directly from my laptop, but he danced around that option. I think their solution of an "app" based programming interface keeps their proprietary software from the fate of the bafang software, while providing us with an extremely light version through the app. Which sucks.
Jon has taken my feedback into consideration and has indicated that the new firmware, app, and future controllers will have these features (it will work, more programming parameters, throttle independent of PAS setting, access to torque settings, etc.)
Regarding the amps setting in the app, in the beta app it is indicated as "phase amps" so I would assume you are correct.
It still is a nice little kit, I have my power settings to the max, I have the medium chainring size. With the power at 100% the bicycle chain slips on the three smallest rear cogs. Bike gets up to around 35mph or so on the flats. So I really dont need much more power, its just the smoothness and predictability that I'm after.
After riding some of the brose - motor based specialized ebikes, although the were not nearly as powerful or cheap as what we can build, the bikes were clearly engineered to feel like a seamless extension of human body power output. Smoothest bikes I have ever ridden. Thats what I am after, just much more powerful.
I built this bike anticipating a long commute due to our company relocating across town. I'm actually planning on riding the continental divide on a mountain bike in the upcoming year or two, maybe i should just go back to pedalling 100%.
Cheers,
Len
