So, I noticed that I cannot find any of my posts from 2017 until now after the conversion. I went to the archive and see them there. Didn't notice anyone else complaining about missing posts, but just figured I'd chime in since I noticed something.

Where is the best place to source these from? Been a while since I was in the market, and the shipping is just insane. Is there any US domestic stock of them?

Yes, there is a thin layer of paste between the metal bar and case. Just XT-90 anti spark... the xt90s actually work alright on this controller, the spark you get is small enough to not cause damage. That is not true for pretty much any other controller I own.

Exactly. I flipped the end caps upside down so the mounting tabs didn't get in the way of the flat back side of the case being mounted flush to the heatsink, and put a bead of the silicone around the edges when putting it back together. Did my best at sealing the wires, but it will absolutely...

Small update, I have been tweaking this controller slightly to see if I could make it work for my boat usage, and I think I have found some success. I am still waiting for the damn bluetooth adapter to be able to do some data logging, but I worked on improving the cooling first and foremost...

Back to the topic of using this controller with an MXUS hub... I attached the XML motor/app config I am using right now in case anyone sees anything obvious there. I manually tried setting the resistance values to the known measured values for this motor, tried playing with observer gain, etc...

So I started digging into the ADC code for vesc last night. I don't think I like it. I am in the process of writing a new "app" (adc_new...help me come up with a better name) that will work a little more consistently with how ebikes are used to, but also configurable enough to cover all the...

Controller is cutting out. Agreed that 52 phase amps is way too low for that motor, but it would simply throttle down into some error state if I was just the slightest bit too hard on the throttle. I am waiting on BT dongle so I can actually see what's happening. I also wired up the cruise...

I set it according to the FOC calibration value at 52a. I tried higher values originally (70a, 80a, 100a), but I kept getting cutouts when accelerating and when regen kicked in. I could probably kick it slightly higher than 52a and not get cutouts, but haven't had time to mess with it yet. Was...

Just tried it on my mountain bike with a MXUS 3k Turbo and 14s pack. Not enough amps to handle it well! It's just too small for that motor to drive it well unless already spinning fast. Once at speed, it has a decent amount of power. At a stand still, it's maybe 100w of help.

Worked well for me so far on both sensorless and hall sensor motors. Didn't test regen because I was using it in a boat. Was running it with a 20s 80ah battery. There *may* be better controllers for your use case if you are planning on only running 36v though. Protects itself from blowing up...

I get the sentiment, and I personally release most of my code under MIT because it fits better with my philosophy than GPL. But the disregard for other people's work when discussing open source projects really gets to me. There is a reason people choose the licenses they do, and I get that...

Well that's quite good to hear if true. Also surprised to hear they're making a revision so quickly... I just got a couple of these controllers in over the weekend. Onto the actual topic: I tested them on my electric inflatable boat. Flashed with jaykup's firmware and setup nice and easy...

I just had my first ride on my bike yesterday after getting it all laced up. Currently have it limited to ~50a battery at 18s. The wheel does not want to stay on the ground, it's pretty insane to see how much more power this has compared to my old 9c at the same voltage / wattage. You'll have...

Yup, just ordered a 17" moped rim for a MXUS v3 turbo (3t), and 105mm spokes. As soon as the rim comes in, i'll get it laced up. Seems like a no brainer to go this way, with the extra strength you get from the moped components.
