We are getting a W flag on the diagnostic screen which to me makes no sense. In your setup, you are running in a torque assist PAS mode, which means while you are pedaling whether hard or lightly, the CA is ALWAYS trying to maintain a regulated constant wattage output, hence the W flag should alway...

Hello fellow CA users, I was hoping someone would look at my CA PAS profile (the hex file which is amended with a txt extension to make it uploadable). We are getting a W flag on the diagnostic screen which to me makes no sense. I do have watt limiting set to 600 watts and it doesn't seem like Im pu...

Hi there Just a guess but if your getting the S flag that should meant that your speed limiting is in play. Check your set speed settings and adjust accordingly. Yes your right the capital S indicates speed limiting but why? I have no speed limiting set on the profile so its strange to see that fla...

Hello and thank you for the past responses! Today I'm Having trouble with my PAS set up. I've been using the attached profile for the CA and it has worked well in the past for basic PAS but today I'm getting a capital S on the diagnostic screen once peddling is detected(which I haven't seen before),...

Thank you for taking a look, that all make sense to me. The amp limit is really the issue. I'll be switching to the Phaserunner today and that will allow me to go above the 20 amps of the controller I'm using for the test. I'm concerned that the LiGo battery wont be able to handle the amp draw even ...

Those arrows flipping directly reflect the input cadence signal. No flipping should mean no RPM display. MG310 + Grin 20 amp controller + 36 volt Ligo (single brick)+ simple right side mounted cadence sensor Ok So I have a PAS system up and running with the CA. I'm using a simple cadence sensor (6 ...

You need a PAS sensor to do PAS --- but something is not right. The RPM display shows pedal cadence (not motor RPM) and since you have no PAS device attached to the RPM input, there should be no RPM reading. Doe the RPM arrow on the "SETUP PAS DEVICE" prefix screen flip up and down? Have you attach...

Thank you for the update. The 3.12 firmware is much more stable on my computer and seemed like it is much better at sending and receiving data from the CA. As far as PAS setup to use the Basic(Pwr), I still need a cadence sensing wheel (perhaps just the BB style sensor) or is there a way to do some ...

I'm very interested configuring an AutoTorquePAS (mentioned in the PDF manual)but the setup seems to have changed upon flashing to 3.12 I don't see that selection anymore. So the question is is there another way to do AutoTorquePAS in v3.12. Additionally is there another walk through the setup for P...

the latest version of phaserunner doesn't work with my mac:

"PhaseRunnerSuite cannot be opened because of a problem."

model: MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)

thanks

Same here, same computer and same error message.

I too am looking for a good thread (maybe started within the last year) for the CA 3.1, Phaserunner, PAS set up or walk through. My Phaserunner works very well but configuring the PAS has been very difficult. I realize this isn't quite the right thread so if someone can post a helpful link I'll dele...

I've been seeing some strange CA3.1 behavior with the CA showing Setting Changed! on restarting and also Slow Power Up with the CA not showing correct voltage. I've run the CA with the Phaserunner at both 36 and 72volts but while trying to configure the set up today the CA started acting up as if th...

Clean Republic(Washington state) has some good 36, 24, 12 volt options and you can talk to them on the phone, they make their batteries in house and service is very good. I've used 5 of their batteries and they are still holding up. https://www.electric-bike-kit.com/batteries.aspx I did order a batt...

Really great bike build. Congrats! I'm very interested in how you used the castle creations controller. How did you modify it to work with the ebike throttle(did I miss that post?) very cool as I've used castle creations controller befor and they are really good. I'm pulling 20 amp on my system and ...

Yes, it's a brushless motor.

I've been running my 24 volt hub motor at 36 volts by using a 36v controller. My question is what exactly is the damage I'm doing by running it at the higher voltage. In my short tests I check for heat at the hub but so far it seems to run without over heating. Thank you for any comments about your ...

Hub motor wheels are inherently weaker and less reliable than conventional wheels, .... I will grant that hub motors wheels are inherently less reliable as anything more complex is inherently less reliable. However I would challenge the statement regarding 'inherently weaker' as they generally have...

Nom nom, Pass the popcorn. This is great stuff!

My sister that rides an electric assist bicycle sent this to me. It supports what I often tell people about how using an electric assist bicycle can give you more exercise than a regular bicycle, simply because you enjoy riding it more often and further. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/the...

Is weight a consideration for you? Just asking. I didn't want a heavy bike as at times I need to load mine into a vehicle.

Wow cool thread, hey Gmag, how much does your build weigh, just very curious?!

Make sure you get a bike you like. Most people I talk to who bike prefer their bike to the idea of a new bike. I suppose the difference Is between a complete ebike vs a build. Complete ebikes seem expensive. Around 1200 you can get a good set up for front hub conversion plus a new bike. It's the sim...

Thanks for the replies!! I hope there is more people willing to post. My own experience is evolving. Yesterday I rode a front hub system about 8 miles on a dirt fire road. I didn't experience any washout, so when we were done I messed around in the parking lot to get it going. Yes the front squirls ...

Thank you guys, that's great info. I'm trying to form my opinions and I agree the front wheel is a bit squirly at speed on loose surfaces. One thing I've noticed is there is an ever growing range of electric cycling approaches. Looks like a rule of thumb might be, if you want the most power and want...

I'm riding a front wheel conversion kit that I'm very satisfied with. It's a 36 volt Hill Topper (Clean Republic) on a Marin single speed. I'd like to hear opinions from others who are using front wheel drive systems or changed from that to another system. I don't plan on switching but I'm curious t...
