Probably fixed with latest commit,

Pas now all working as it should - thanks!

OK, thank you for testing! A value of 2.1 for threshold should work. I checked Xnyles code again. He processes the direction signal different now. The motor is not stopped when pedaling in reverse, but the speed limit is set to 6 km/h. Can you confirm this behaviour? I think this is not a good solu...

It would appear that this setting is being totally ignored by the firmware....? Hm, it should work in the same way as in the older commits... if (ui8_PAS_Flag == 1) { ui8_PAS_Flag = 0; //reset interrupt flag ui16_time_ticks_between_pas_interrupt = ui16_time_ticks_for_pas_calculation; //save recent ...

It would appear that this setting is being totally ignored by the firmware....? Hm, it should work in the same way as in the older commits... Very strange, I rechecked the previous commit I was using (downloaded 5th Sept), the PAS detection with this works just fine. Please install the BluOsec app ...

Not sure, if 2.8 is enough. For me it's 3.2 when pedalling normal. Although my sensor does not send any signal when pedaling backwards so I can't test that detection functionality at all. Ok, I'll try some higher values tomorrow. It seems that whatever value is entered for 'Pas Threshold' has no ef...

Changing the 'PAS Threshold' setting seemed to have no effect whatsoever. Have you tried the android app already? ..not yet, but will do soon. You can get the PAS ratio displayed there, so can see the values for foreward and reverse pedaling. I tried values from 1.0 to 2.8 for 'PAS Threshold' - str...

Had some time spare today so gave the latest master branch a try. On first testing I shot up the road like a scalded cat, then realised that Battery and Phase Current max are now calculated differently and need much lower numbers than before. After putting this right everything calmed down and seeme...

Nice work! Xnyle and me, we both have replaced the resistor and the LM317 by a DC/DC converter and both have trouble with them... I burned 4! :shock: converters while experimenting with switching off the PWM while no power is wanted and switching it on again when power is needed while the bike is m...

Just thought I'd show you my latest attempt at taming the simmering series resistor and LM317:- Bought a couple of these:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Through-Hole-Resistor-270-ohm-350-V-TO-220-20-W-1-WMHP-Series/391793017422?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 ...unfortunately...

I've welded the shaft and I hope this will work until I receive my new Sempu 3rd gen.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a mig welder amongst his toys..

Decent looking weld but it will get a stern test in that location...

Xnyle was very hardworking during the last weeks, we are very proud to present the beta release of the Android app now! We are looking for betatesters, if interested please contact Xnyle via PM or just here in the thread! More good work from Xnyle.... 8) Unfortunately I'm having to catch up on some...

It looks like you're really out of luck with your torquesensors :( Partly unlucky and also a large dose of stupidity on my part. The first one I received had the torque o/p stuck on 3.0v (should be 1.5v) with no reaction to pedal torque - but it was over 3 months after purchase before I tested it, ...

I've not tested the "Torque-Override" in torquesensor-mode on the street yet, only with my testbench. geofft, perhaps you can try it and give feedback. stancecoke, I seem to be having all sorts of torque sensor issues at the moment, all hardware related I think. I'm giving up with this for the time...

I thought about the "Throttle and PAS" option and decided to quickly try the Torque-Simulation and ta-da, it's alive! You see, the bike with the factory parts never required me to hit the throttle before pedaling so that's what threw me off the trail. This is just beautiful and it seems to run with...

So it seems to be a enhanced release of the first generation, where the torque-signal is generated by measuring the bending of the shaft... Is the zero value appearing, if you are pedaling forwards, too? Perhaps it's a kind of direction detection signal. The quarter turn dead spot (zero value) occu...

Sorry, yours seems to be a Sempu of the first generation , as you are using a normal chainwheel with crank. The third generation has a spider (I don't know if this part is called spider in english... ) where the chainwheel is fixed, the crank has to be an extra part. Ah..ok. The seller called it th...

Just thought I'd see what you guys make of this. Just recently received a new Sempu torque sensor (Gen1) and have noticed some erratic behaviour from it. Eventually decided to monitor the torque sensor o/p and realised that there was no signal o/p for a quarter turn of the pedal shaft. What you're s...

You need to do this: void throttle_read (void) { // read torque sensor signal ui8_throttle_value = UI8_ADC_THROTTLE; // map throttle value from 0 up to 255 ui8_throttle_value = (uint8_t) (map ( ui8_throttle_value, (uint8_t) 77, (uint8_t) 204, (uint8_t) 0, (uint8_t) 255)); I deleted throttle_value_r...

Casainho, I'm struggling to find those precise line of code - which file are they located in..? ebike_app.c file ..odd, we seem to be looking at different ebike_app.c files. The nearest I can find to the code you have quoted is:- void throttle_read (void) { // read torque sensor signal ui8_throttle...

void torque_sensor_read (void) { // map value from 0 up to 255 // map value from 0 up to 255 ui8_torque_sensor_raw = (uint8_t) (map ( UI8_ADC_TORQUE_SENSOR, (uint8_t) ui8_adc_torque_sensor_min_value, (uint8_t) ui8_adc_torque_sensor_max_value, (uint8_t) 0, (uint8_t) 255)); Exchange ui8_adc_torque_se...

Exchange ui8_adc_torque_sensor_min_value and ui8_adc_torque_sensor_max_value for the fixed values you need.

Thanks! Will try tomorrow..

Stancecoke, reading from the German forum, could Romantas' problem be related to the zero point adjustment you talked about lower down this page of the thread..? https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=87870&hilit=pushing&start=2850 ..I always now change this to 3 (from 1) and no long...

I always looked for motor pushing at standstill and that is only possible with torque sensors... also, now my kid is bigger but I remember 2 and 1 year ago where he could not push the bicycle from standstill (yes, it is a kid of city that uses to much time sit down watching TV and being transported...

Configurator now working very nicely, thanks to Xnyle for all his work on that.. :) On a slightly different subject, I've recently received another torque sensor (sempu gen3, one that actually works this time..!) and after a few config tweaks is now working well on stancecoke's fw. It's a great feel...
