100 W
Thanks for the clarification tek!
Quite a few things, actually...Nathan said:I have a CAv3 that is limiting power without me doing anything ?

What else could be limiting the power and how can i find what that is ? or how can i disable all limiting ?
You have configured limiting as shown here - certainly this will prevent you from reaching the 4500W that you are trying to achieve. You haven't told us anything about you motor, controller, etc., but with a 4500W draw "first few seconds of hard takeoff", it sounds like you may have a Xie Chang (Infineon) controller programmed with a non-zero block time (this 'blocks' the programmed controller current limit for that time period allowing essentially unlimited amps). Since you have turned down the CA power and current limits, you will never see this performance due to CA override. Start by restoring these to the max values.Nathan said:I have a CAv3 that is limiting power without me doing anything ?
I have set the AMP, power and speed limits very high but for some reason when i run the throttle through the CA i get only about 1600w then when i run the same motor and bypass the CA i get 4500w ! this is a mid drive so the only time you see such high power is first few seconds of hard takeoff
I'm guessing that you used a CA external shunt since the configured shunt value is exactly 1.000 mOhm (the default value) instead of some controller-specific value. If this is not the case and you are using a CA- compatible plug and play controller, then the amp readings and CA current limiting are almost certainly uncalibrated and incorrect.teklektik said:
- To ask the inevitable question: did you carefully follow the installation steps in the Guide?
(This probably seems annoying, but it gets a hundred questions off the table and pretty much ensures that we understand exactly what you did and what you adjusted.)
- Which kind of CA-to-controller hookup do you use and and did you zero the amps?
teklektik said:Hmmm - Shouldn't be happening. I'm not actually sure I can see how even a funky button could cause this...
So-
where do I post this?
- What firmware are you using? V3 final version
- Is splash screen displayed with the normal delay? Yes
- What screens are appearing? (setup screens, status screens?) Status Screens
- If status screens, all screens or only those selected in the 'stopped' flagword? All
- Does the scrolling stop if you press either button? Yes
- Do the Swap Battery and Change Mode screens come up with a double button press? No
- Did the strange behavior start immediately when you sent the new settings or sometime later? Only after a bit of riding.
- Can you post up the Settings file that you loaded?

okay so, if you disable a stopped screen, it displays anyway, right?
In your case the human stats screens display even though they are disabled?
Does the 'moving screens' flagword have any effect?
teklektik said:Well, as these things go - it works fine here with your file - which looks fine...
- Does the scrolling start as soon as it leaves the Splash Screen?
- Does it do that always?
- Does it scroll when moving and when standing?
