Endless Sphere

I'm just coming back from a longer test ride and I'm really satisfied with the setup. Everything is working properly and reliably for me. So I'll stop further development at the moment. It's very difficult to solve other people's problems that doesn't appear at my setup... Thank you, geofft, for yo...

Maybe you can try my branch and see if it works, if works, than that hardware is ok and we will know it works with my code and will be an option. I just say this because you told before that you get not problem with my code. Casainho, your branch (with my gear motor setup) works pretty much faultle...

Tried disconnecting the HC-05 5v line (from spare brake connector) but still the same. I'll try re-downloading and starting again as you suggest. Please don't spend any more time on this, it all started from from chasing the speedometer error which isn't a great problem in reality. If I discover any...

Ok, no problem, I'll hold on this for now.

I did manage to take a datalog from a short ride today with some 'interesting' results. I'll post the details of this tomorrow The printf line that produced this log was:- printf("%d, %d, %d, %d, %d\r\n", ui16_setpoint, ui16_motor_speed_erps, ui16_BatteryCurrent,ui8_cheat_state, ui16_SPEE...

Good to hear, that the controller is working again and the throttle behaviour is OK with the new gain settings :D In the config.h there are still 0.5 and 0.2, I think this is an old one? Yes, I stored that config.h copy just before I made the Gain I/P changes. You have defined 500 for max battery c...

Nothing attached?
I have to check the phase current limiting algorithm I think...

Sorry, brain fade... Now attached.
I've tried reducing Gain P to 0.3 and Gain I to 0.1 and the throttle now works smoothly from rest, so I think that problem is now ok.

I now have a further problem. The throttle response in the recent downloads (I was using torque sim/throttle, offroad mode) has been very sharp when used from a standstill with little progression. This, unfortunately, has just damaged the controller. Hmm, strange. The only thing I changed in the la...

On TSDZ2 firmware (like on KT firmware), when motor is stopped the wheel/motor is engaged because the motor coils are powered on. If I force to rotate backwards the wheel, I see the torque sensor signal of TSDZ2 to get active while to should not!! I never had that issue with my BionX DD and the BMS...

stancecoke, ignore this message for now, I've just noticed some strange behaviour during the build and flash of that latest github download and I'm not sure it's actually being flashed. I'll do this again tomorrow with a fresh mind... :? Problem was that the fw filename (after being unzipped) conta...

I've added debounce now at github. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, please log ui16_SPEED and post the result. regards stancecoke Still the same I'm afraid, no difference in the speed readout behaviour... :( I'll do the logging you asked for tomorrow. stancecoke, ignore this message for ...

I'll do the logging you asked for tomorrow.

It's not a problem of interrupt handling but of noise on the signal. Are you guys using an input that is originally used for the speed sensor? Because using the BMSBattery speed sensors (cheap ones) and also TSDZ2 speed sensors, I never got such issue. The hardware has a low pass filter to filter n...

Have you tried the latest commit? I've added some Software filtering some days ago.... regards stancecoke I've just tried the current commit, but it seems just the same.. :( Edit: This issue also means that without cheat mode enabled the pas is constantly cutting in and out - I guess this is becaus...

I'm probably doing something dumb but I've run out of things to try, any ideas? I fear there is too much noise on the signal when the motor is running. You can try to fit a split ferrite to the wire next to the controller. I could filter the signal by software, but to be honest, I have no desire to...

Using BT and Display just in parallel can't work, as the controller would receive a mess of bytes from both devices at the same time...

I did try this when I made up the HC-05 cable. Wasn't expecting it to work, and, unsurprisingly, it didn't...

I've built a very basic android app, that sets the speed limit via bluetooth. It's not looking very professional, but it works :| . Nice work! Just a couple of questions:- I presume you intend to add more adjustable parameters eventually? Will it ever be possible to use this system and still retain...

I've now upgraded to SDCC 3.7.2 but unfortunately the compiler's dislike of 'uint32_current_target' did not go away. I've now removed this parameter from the diagnostics 'printf' command (main.c) and it compiles and flashes ok. please make sure, that the line extern uint32_t uint32_current_target; ...

Please update to SDCC3.7.1: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/snapshot_builds/x86_64-w64-mingw32-setup/sdcc-20180802-10495-x64-setup.exe/download There were some strange errors reported in the german forum with the 3.7.0 revision, too. regards stancecoke I've now upgraded to SDCC 3.7.2 bu...

Working with one central tool (the java-tool) may be more comfortable for unexperienced users. You don't have to mess around with BT-Module, installing und using additional tools on the smartphone. I had no strong feelings for (or against) the BT-smartphone idea, but if forced to express an opinion...

I look forward to using my new gadget for real sometime.. :wink: you can print out ui16_current_cal_b in column 1 instead of dutycycle for example and compare it with the recent current in column three, to see why the motor pushed at standstill... Stancecoke, I've been trying this using the printf ...

I've added some more descriptions in the tutorial, I think the syntax of the printf command should be self explaining with the example. https://opensourceebikefirmware.bitbucket.io/windows_instructions/index6.html regards stancecoke Thanks for that, I'm ok with this now. The parameter descriptions ...

Normally I log a complete testride and do the analysis in Excel afterwards.

I see, using Excel as a datalog viewer. I wondered how you were producing those wonderful graphs.

I look forward to using my new gadget for real sometime..

Any suggestions gratefully received..

Try to swap rx and tx!

Thanks, now working just fine....

I can see that this pumps out a LOT of data very fast, how do you target the area where you had any particular problem..?
