Strange that with a PWM at 254 you only have 300W motor. That is not strang. Please tell also what is the erps value when you measured the other values. Just saw the previous message, where the erps value is 480. Our motors has 16 magnets, so 8 pairs of them. Motor max rpm is 4000 at 48V. So, (4000...

on TSDZ2 is even different the FOC implementation. Ah, I remember, you calculate the advance angle from battery current and erps :-) And here are the comments I wrote on TSDZ2 firmware sources, including the part to calculate the total phase current, as did mention before: // FOC implementation by ...

I managed to do some good testing of 0.18.2 in the past 3 weeks. A strange thing that I noticed is that in some cases even if the human power increases, the motor power in W drops. This happens at higher speeds. Also if I use assist of 0.6 and assist of 4 it is almost same difficulty to pass 42-43 ...

In our code, we use a simplifyed way of FOC by controlling the zero-crossing of a single phase current. You mean that on KT motor controllers because on TSDZ2 is even different the FOC implementation. Also, on KT there is hardware to fast read the motor total phase current and so we can control it....

Thank you stancecoke for your explanations, I continue to improve my understanding of the source code, I still have a little trouble distinguishing the difference between battery current and motor current, but I keep persevering. Motor current would be the motor phase currents but the hardware can ...

For what I remember, my 48V motor, could sustain about 10 amps continuously but above that would pass the 85 degrees that I consider the limit. When I demagnetized my motor, I was pushing at max current (like 18 amps) because I wanted to discharge my battery pack as fast as I could (I wanted to meas...

Rydon, please test the new version: https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-firmware/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike/releases/tag/v0.19.0-beta1 Ok, is there any documentation for the menus in version 19? When pedaling backwards, motor power is cut off. Note that the motor resistance is still there. If you know the m...

marcoq version had a sort of major update that includes also the VLCD5 compatibility and the backwards resistance sorted. He released it only on the Italian forum by now, for the first tests. He followed the suggestion to disable the PWM :D #if ENABLE_BACKWARDS_RESISTANCE_OFF // stop pwm motor: if(...

That said, given your description of the TSDZ2 performance, I do wonder if you haven't already destroyed the magnets within the motor, through overheating the motor magnets at some point? That would cause a loss of efficiency, a lot of the energy going to the motor, to produce relatively little mot...

I found this new video on youtube channel of Buba, seems he is busy recently

In short the criteria for the backwards resistance is: bike is not moving (speed=0) and no forces on pedals. Unfortunately I didn't test myself due to lack of time but a user reported that the resistance is now gone. Many thanks for the update!!! I was looking at the code and it always disable PWM ...

I think is great NIPSEN that is trying to give new ideas and yes, at startup we are multipling torque sensor for assist level factor, which is strange because assist level is for a power factor... Anyway, I think would be to confuse to have another factor to configure on LCD3. Also, startup boost c...

Rydon, please test the new version: https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-firmware/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike/releases/tag/v0.19.0-beta1 When pedaling backwards, motor power is cut off. Note that the motor resistance is still there. Can you please tell if you expect that motor goes to 0 velocity before goes ba...

I'm not sure this is the correct thread but I have a problem with my TDZS2 and I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers. I have the 36v 8-pin version with VLCD5 which worked fine. I decided to hook-up a KT-LCD3 and load the open-source firmware. I bought a new 8-pin cable and soldered it direct...

Thanks for sharing. I just added to a wiki page: https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-fir ... nsor-works

We simply find that the engine speed is proportional to the voltage applied, i.e. the constant Kv. Again, this is only correct for idle running. The higher the load, the lower the speed at constant voltage... I think the BEMF voltage varies constantly with the speed. But there is no advantage to ca...

I improved the pedal cadence calculation as also now there is a variable specific about pedaling forward. LCD3 now shows cadence even when rotating pedals backwards but the motor power is cut every time user pedals backwards. This new code is on master branch but I must plan a new stable version fo...

the tsdz2 with original software is not even comparable to a modern mtb if you need to use the new firmware under the same conditions as the original where the advantage lies? If you know that TSDZ2 with original software is not even comparable to a modern mtb but if you are looking for that, I thi...

- I will buy a new screen. You told about 850C and KT-LCD3. Which one is better to buy ? Is there a good chance to see the firmware for 850C ?

Go with KT-LCD3 and 850C firmware is far from having stable version.

Yes it's Not correct, any cyclist whith other ebike. I will try to stay below 500w but when the temperature rises I don't think I can solve the problem. in off road it is also practically impossible unless you go very slow and for a longer period of time that inevitably leads to overheating of the ...

the problem for me is very serious, because it also occurs on the road at only 10 degrees of ambient temperature. the speed was around 9-11 km / h I could decrease the assistance but then I am very slow and probably when the temperature goes above 20 degrees even this will not be enough. it also pr...

the only thing is that the thermometer is broken, but it correctly reads the room temperature and also the body temperature. During the test I touched the body of the engine and I could hardly hold my hand, I think over 55 °, inside obviously the temperature is much higher. Unfortunately, in my hil...

any ideas to cool the engine? I installed a thermometer and after an off-road ride I read 102 ° ... To go home I did 4km of asphalt climbs and I got 86 ° (not over 600w) . The ambience temperature was only 10 °, when spring comes it will be impossible to use the bicycle :( :( i weight 104kg :-( It ...
