I start this new thread to share the new versions of TSDZ2 OSF.
In common they all have the same base firmware, v7 of mspider65 which derives from 20beta1, to which I have added other changes.

The most important news are:
Field weakening function that allows you to pedal at high cadence. Optimizations to the motor control, the torque sensor and the cadence sensor (from mspider65 - v7).
I added in "Power assist" mode, a very effective boost function, with only two parameters it is possible to modify the response curve of the assistance. Makes "Power assist" mode suitable for all uses.
I also added a new "Hybrid assist" mode, it is a combination of "Torque assist" and "Power assist" modes.
The result is excellent low cadence assistance typical of Torque mode and the extension of Power mode to high cadence.
For a complete list of new features, please read the changelog.txt files and manuals.

Version for VLCD5-VLCD6-XH18 with Java configurator:
Release Open source firmware TSDZ2-v20.1C-VLCD5-VLCD6-XH18 · emmebrusa/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-1

Version for KT-LCD3:
Release Open source firmware TSDZ2-v20.1C-LCD3 · emmebrusa/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-LCD3

Version for 860C-850C color display and SW102:
Release Open source firmware TSDZ2-v20.1C-860C · emmebrusa/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-860C

English manuals are translated with Google translate, if someone of good will wants to check and improve them there are editable odf files. Thank you.

Have a good time
Hi I have a 2016 BOTTECCHIA NEWTON BEGREEN E-MTB

(the display unit is the detachable unit - display unit can be removed from the handle bars when you are away from bike)-

Ive lost the pins that connect the housing to the actual display unit now I'm not sure how to replace with another brand as they all have more wires than mine


The brose display unit has 4 or 5 wires to the display 2 wires to the wired/connected remote (+ M - buttons )

I have a Chinese cargo ebike display and various other types I need help with wiring also the bike runs a mid drive brose motor with peddle assist only NO accelerator "unless i can some how wire up the accelerator also"

Another brand will not work for you, because it isn't only the different wiring, but more important a different Input/Output protocol with the motor controller.

As an example:
The Tsdz2 controller can use a Bafang 860C display specific for Tsdz2, but the use of an 860C specific for a Bafang controller will not work. You need to flash that display with other firmware as from OSF.
Also you can't use every 860C specific for a Bafang controller, because Bafang uses the Uart and Canbus I/O protocol. So you need always to know which controller you have.


If you know the brand and type of the motor controller, you can search a display for it..

By websearch it looks that Bottecchia uses a midmotor from the brand OLI, that could be related to Brose.
But they sell Fazua, Shimano too.
But it could be too that the 2016 model has a rear hub motor.

After a Youtube search I see that they used in the past a Bafang and Brose midmotor too.
So imho @mista-Bottecchia must first look which motor type and brand he has.
