Hey guys, I've been using my ebikes.ca kit for 2-3 months now, no problem. It's made if a MXUS 3006 direct drive hub motor and Grinfineon C4825-GR controller. I use regen braking at full power (0V). No prop regen, as I find that even full regen is moderately soft. This week, I started noticing...

Pretty amazing indeed. And for reference, this is the Raspbian Stretch Lite distribution.

Alright, I finally got it working with just -inlcr -echo Thanks for helping me persist! :D

Here's some more interesting info. From the default line settings, I only -inlcr to get rid of the extra linefeed, what I should have done from the beginning. I'm at 10Hz and as expected I get a lot more truncated lines. Now I don't see the exclamation point you mentioned. But curiously, I...

I'll have to agree. I did cat the line (to stdout though) without issue when connected directly to a PC. I've tried it both with PuTTY and through Cygwin. I compared the line settings from Raspbian with what you posted and they are quite different. I think the answer must lie therein. During...

Hi all, I've setup a Pi Zero to grab data from the CA serial port. For now, I simply run Raspbian and cat the serial device (with the Grin FTDI cable) onto a file. It runs generally well. I also grab GPS data directly from the UART pins in the same manner. I have this issue with the CA log...

This is my first build and I'm pretty much set on the kit I want (Grin MXUS 3006 with the 25A Grinfineon controller). I intend to buy my battery from EM3ev. I hesitate between two packs but I'm open to other advice. I'd prefer either a bottle mount or a triangle. Bottle mount sounds more...

I'm curious as I would also be shipping to Canada: how did it work out for customs/duties/taxes? Which shipping company?

Well, my reason for going with the Grin is actually the CA, so that's not a problem. (Also it's a Canadian company so it makes things simple) I like the openness, the fine tuning and tweaking, the data analysis. I'm also likely going DD just to have regen braking, and not even for the regen...

That's what I'm doing by going with 40A. :) I think that 25A should be enough, especially I plan on pedaling. So I'm tempted to go with a 40A controller because yes I'm pretty sure I will find myself wanting more. It certainly helps knowing that I can limit the pulled current using the CA. :)...

Hi all, I’m not too sure where to start. I’ve been reading a lot recently for my conversion project. Even though I have broader decisions to make (still hesitating between eZee and MXUS kits from ebikes.ca), I also had specific technical questions. So I’m pretty much set on going with a Grin...
