... I wonder if "motor torque level" is the same as the phase current setting :? ...
Max torque % in the motor section has to be related to phase current, so once you guys get this figured out, it will be interesting to play with that field in conjunction with the current ramp up time called "soft start time", especially if they have numerous selections in the pull down box. If that's correct, then it gives us an extra bit of tuning beyond what the more expensive XieChang controller offers.
Reverse current or power is also nice, since I gotta do a trike at some point, and that will definitely be high power, so speed % alone won't be enough for reverse.
The different selection boxes related to low voltage have potential for nicer features than we are accustomed from cheap controllers.
High speed/low speed is an interesting setting. I wonder if my hubbies fall into the high classification due to their almost double Kv over common hubbies, or would that be more like RC motors. What might it change?...the PWM rate?
Are you able to tell the number of selections in the pull-downs? I'm most interested in the numbers for controller type, nominal voltage, battery current limit, low voltage boxes, and max torque.
I wish I could be of direct assistance in this effort. I did send a PM to Crossbreak regarding his donation request, but let me also put something on the table for everyone. The first person who gives me a cable with instructions to which wire goes where on those programming pins that I can connect to my PC running XP and change settings in these controllers will get a high efficiency 6 phase MidMonster motor shipped to their door. If it's by September 30, then I'll throw in some kind of added bonus, ventilation and weight loss mods or controllers or ???. Please don't let this impact the group effort though, and I'm open to changes in the offer that you guys think is fair for collaborative effort.
