I can however just rest my foot on the pedal and the motor will take off, which is exactly what I want.
isn't that in contradiction to the statement that one needs pedalling in order for the motor to engage?
Maybe you can explain because i could need any kind of assistance when starting on a slope.
Assist without pedal rotation - exactly that. You just rest your foot on the pedal and the motor starts you moving. This is exactly what 90% of people are expecting from a pedelec style eBike (my guess) but it must be enabled on a tsdz2 because of the cadence sensor lower rpm limit. Without it, and with motor current control set to 'power' mode, you will need 2-3 or perhaps more pedal rotations before the assist cuts in (which I wager is
not what people are expecting from a pedelec eBike)
People say you must have brake sensors, personally I think it's fine to just hold the bike on the brakes and rest a little pressure on the pedal*, no different to a hill start in a manual transmission car. You soon get used to the behaviour. I'll go on record and say I don't have brake sensors installed.
*not a lawyer, you might want brake sensors if it makes you feel happier on the bike
For the best hill start performance I would setup as the following:
Motor current control = torque
Assist w/o pedal = enable
Startup BOOST = disable
Startup BOOST duration = 5
Startup BOOST fade = 6.5
Motor current ramp = 10a (maximum)
Calibrate your torque sensor then enable calibrations
Motor current max = 20a
