I bought a BBSHD. While I could never get any version of the programming software to recognise my bike in Windows, the Speeed Android app did, and showed that my bike was limited to 25A. Trying to set anything above 25A gave a "current limit out of range" when flashing.
I found a firmware file to try, followed the instructions to set the right settings, and flashed away. On the first attempt, the bike worked normally, but the Speeed app showed a 28A limit now. In an order that I do not remember, I then tried firmware from FasterBikes, YouTube, and from the following members on the Endless Sphere BBSHD Voltage Problem thread: Amberwolf, Original, Ranchero, Rydon. Tdirider, and Tokoyama. None of them made the throttle or peddle assist work. Somewhere in that, I also tried the 48 to 52V conversion from Golden Motor. I cannot be sure but I think things became a problem after trying this.
The bike still turns on with the display, and now always shows 0% battery, including on the Speeed app. I checked some of those firmwares on Speeed and all of those I checked still shown 0% battery. If I change that to voltage on the bike's display, it shows 49.2V, which is correct as I checked the battery with a multimeter. I'm guessing because the bike thinks there is no power, that it won't budge. Interestingly, one of the firmwares provided by Rydon caused the bike to power forward the second the flashing finished, until I powered it down. Each power up, the bike would start moving until I flashed something else.
I would have thought at least ONE of those firmwares would have made something work, but nope. At this point, I don't care if the firmware is for 48 or 52V, I just want a working bike.
I should add that the display only shows an error 21 which I cannot clear. No speed shows on the display when rotating the wheel. I had the same error when I got the bike but I cleared it by giving more distance between the sensor and magnet as they appeared to touch. When going in the normal direction, the sensor light stays red, going off when the magnet meets it. I thought it originally was the other way around, but this shouldn't matter for the battery percentage being 0%? There's no battery information when I got the bike and there still isn't.
Having tried EVERY firmware I can find, and going so much Googling that I feel sick, Is my controller frocked? Is there any way to rescue this?
