First of all, I want to apologize to the community for being absent! Have become time constrained again but I still try to follow the thread as much as possible. A lot of things have been discussed and that is great!
I have personally nothing to add to the discussion for now. But I do want to clarify that I look forward to the stable release of the 0.20.0. That is a priority for me because there are a LOT of changes and I want to get them out there. The community has provided several great suggestions and ideas that have made the firmware even better! What an awesome collaboration!
It will be interesting to see how the development moves forward and what can be done to further improve the experience. I am very excited to see the changes the new developers will introduce and also the ideas Casainho will implement! It will be some great work and I truly look forward to see and try it all out!
For the time being, I hope everyone finds the 0.20.0 Alpha version a great upgrade from the 0.19.0! Because it is going to get even better with the 0.20.0 Beta :wink: More about this in my reply to Microchip7000 below:
Thank you for being so detailed in your feedback! You have done an amazing job explaining the problem and giving me a very clear picture of what I need to do! I appreciate that a lot so the least I can do is to solve the problem :wink:
As soon as I got home today I did some work on the bike that enabled me to connect some instruments and do some tests. Can confirm that the ADC conversion values are not perfect. Error range: 1 - 20 %. I have already sorted this out and everything should be more accurate.
Oh... and one more thing! How about more torque and power? :wink: Yes, Solving this bug has enabled more power and torque! The changes are already submitted in the pull request and will be available in the 0.20.0 Beta 1 as soon as Casainho has time to take a look and release the beta version. I now recommend everyone to update to 0.20.0 Beta 1 as soon as it is available.
--------------------------
A big thanks to the community!
EDIT: 0.20.0 Beta 1 will have several small improvements here and there so I hope everyone will feel it is worth to update, even for users coming from the 0.20.0 Alpha 10!

microchip7000 said:Hi, I upgraded to 0.20 alpha 10. I did 1.000 km with 0.17 and 1.000 km with 0.19. My bike's battery is 1kw and the engine is 36v 350w. With the old versions the watt meter was very precise, 1 kw of consumption and the battery was completely discharged at 29v, while with the 0.20 it marks about 20% more consumption, reached 0% I still had a lot of battery, I increased from the menu the battery capacity up to 1.200w to arrive correctly.
Even instant consumption obviously marks 20% more. There is some calibration to do to adjust the shot.
for the rest everything is fine, excellent starting from a standstill and much more linear than the 0.19.
Hello and congratulations for having reached these levels :thumb:
