Tsdz2 firmware open source adapted to vlcd5, vlcd6 and xh18

Hi Marcoq, why should it not work? I believe that the SW of the TSDZ2 is the same I think they have only adapted the connections ... of course the keys to configure the options may not match,
Wpenner since you have the opportunity to test why you do not install it and so we check how it was done for the XT18 ... bad that goes you keep the Bakup and put back the original SW.

Marcoq, thx for your Work!
I´m a newbie in flashing the TSDZ2 Controller with open source Firmware. I have all prerequesites installed on my Laptop and the Tool is running as well.
So the diffrent in my setting is, i have the 350W Motor and an 10s4p Akku.
What Settings do i have to change in the Tool for my Motor/Akku setting?
Regards
Rene
Hi guys, sorry for the noob question...
Just received tsdz2 with vlcd5 ( 6pin ) from pswpower. Do i need to upload any new firmware to the VLCD ( as for KT-LCD3 )? Or it should be stock and my work is just to upload Marcoq's firmware to the motor?
I also noticed that there are 3 strange inputs on the back, does anyone know what their purpose is? ( img attached )

No, you do not need to modify the LCD software.
You only need 3 wires from the USB programmer. Just pull the metal connectors out of the plastic housing on the programmer and put some shrink tube around them. Then you will be able to fit the three wires into the correct pins on the speed sensor connector. If you use 4 wires as some diagrams show it is hard to fit them all in the connector.

Select your LCD Model (most kits come with LCD5). Enter 10 cells in the battery info. Change low voltage to 29v. Set battery max limit to 18amps if you want. Change max wheel speed to 50km/h if you want. Change motor watts to 500w if you want. If it has an error when you click compile, you are missing a software package. If you don't set the cell count correctly you will see an Error E08 on the LCD.

Marcoq would know best. I don't think much is documented about the the version of TSDZ2 i have with 850c screen. Maybe stock firmware is different on it. I can tell you that the assist levels do not work correctly from 850c LCD to begin with. I'll give it a go if i can make sure i know how to do a full backup correctly. There are 3 tabs in st link, data memory, program memory etc, do i have to click on each tab and save. Or if i click save does it save all three in a file.
I'd gladly try to take a backup and upload the file here if someone wants to help me see if firmware is same as original motor.

I have just upgraded my bike from stock software to the latest Marco. And OMG.... Its like having a new bike. Twice the power and more manageable.
Things I learned. This is what worked for me.
Just my learning's, but its worth the effort.
Took a few attempts to get to the above, but once it worked the bike is a "rocket".

When making the programming lead, make ST-USB-dongle to motor leads very short
If programming does not work try a different USB port on the computer. As Only 1 out of 3 USB ports worked on my laptop. All work normally but the programming configuration seems very sensitive.
Buy more than one st-usb adapter, as they are "China" quality and only 1 out of 2 worked
After installing ST software, copy it to its own folder on root c drive, or it will fail to find files.
Turn battery off when programing. Let USB lead 5v power motor controller.
Disconnect USB reset pin

Hi everyone,
Did any of you install the software on the coaster brake version?
I installed it a couple of months back to see and the motor was still on half a second after I stopped to pedal. It was quite annoying so I put the original software back...
Also I found the motor to be less powerful, it required more efforts to move forward.
Is there any option on the configurator to make it work better and get 0 cut off delay when I stop pedaling ?
Many thanks

Did you manage to program with 3 wires only? Which wires did you use?
When I tried with 3 wires the procedure LOOKED ok, but it resulted in a corrupted firmware loaded and consequent strange behaviour of the bike.
Please let us know if you read the firmware after programming and save it as hex file.. it is exactly the same as the hex file you uploaded.
Thanks

I did not bother using what i think is called the "reset" wire, the one that goes to the middle.I read elsewhere it was not required. Also the 4 female connectors with shrink tube on them do not fit in the connector well. With 3 it fits no problems. I've updated my firmware a few times on my motor with different settings. I should clarify, I've only done this on my VLCD5 setup. I have not tried on my friends 850c display motor yet.

Attached is the Files from (48v 15amp 4000rpm it states on the sticker) 850c version. Rename to .s19. Can someone let me know if they are the same as original VLCD5 version? Based on what I've found on the web it looks like it might not match.

Hello, the test you can do is to compare the hex file you are uploading (downloaded from casainho or generated by marcoq interface) with the one you obtain by reading with STVP right after the programming.
You should see at that point if what you uploaded is effectively equal to what you intended to upload.
Cheers!

625watts is how much power your motor will use when not in street mode. There are two different modes you can toggle between by using the lcd. When on power assist level 1 double click the light button on lcd to toggle modes. Street mode is designed to be street legal. In my case I did not care so I just set street mode to same watts also. I use 750watts on my motor. Carful to not overheat your motor if you have not installed a temperature sensor.

Strange fault fixed - posted here for info.
Symptom : Turn on controller, only one battery bar shows even with full battery, LCD functions ok but motor does not work.
Reason : One of the ebrakes are stuck on when powering up.
Took me hours of re-programming and testing and investigating because I thought the software was corrupted. Only to find that one of the ebrake switches was on as the magnet had moved.

Did you ever find the cause of your EBIKE_WHEEL_BLOCKED E07 error, as I am getting the same issue on the latest marco firmware ( Controller M0.16.D, Java Configurator Beta 0.2.0 )
cliftonarms said:
No, I never figured out why it happened. I switched back to 3.3 and it was fine.
I then had my crankshaft snap so was unable to use it for a while. I got a replacement torque sensor and installed it and I flashed the latest 3.6 over the weekend and it works great. I wonder if my crankshaft snapped due to having the one bearing as was mentioned, which seemed to allow a bit of play and caused squeaking when pedaling?
feedback on 3.6:
The only 2 things I noticed so far in 3.6 is the backwards resistance is there even when the box is checked.
I have the eMTB checked as default but when I wanted to turn eMTB off by pressing the lights button I was not getting the E01 confirmation, when I pressed the light button again it showed the E02. So it did not look like I had the option to change setting 3 to normal setting. It only ever showed E02 or nothing.
From having to pedal my bike without the motor after it snapped to being back on the road with Marcoq's brilliant version 3.6, You cant imagine how much of a smile it brought to my face. Thanks again to Marcoq and all of you who have contributed so far, it is sensational.

Where are you getting the older code versions from Minatauro ?
I cant see them in Marcos's github https://github.com/qmarco/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-compatible-with-original-VlCD6-display

This is where Marcoq usually posts his latest versions:
http://www.jobike.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=76426&whichpage=38
His post with the zip file for 3.6 is about a quarter way down the page. I cant remember which page the earlier versions are on but they are there in that forum.
