THanks offgrid, I've taken your hint and bought a win10 desktop for this. Haven't succeeded yet installing CA setup though

... although the display is still lit. I meant to write

The question is more about the battery and bms. Just wondering if anyone had similar glitches with different batteries. The regen on descent works fine (if of course the battery is not full) until the hill gets too steep and then the CA cuts out power and braking although the direct is still...

Corrections The switch does not work after the regen braking cuts out. Cycling off on the ca doesn't make any difference, neither does stopping. It seems to be after a while everything works again, power and e-braking I watched the amps and today it seems to cut out at 7 or 8 but, the other...

Does anyone here have experience with which batteries work better with regenerative braking? My bike is capable of regen of over 10 amps as read off the cycle analyst, and I want to buy a bigger battery, but I don't know if the charge rate capacity during regen is an issue. I have some long...

I thought of temperature being the problem, but I watched the temperature as I went down the steep Hill and it didn't seem to be that, also the temperature went up quite a bit higher on the climb and it didn't stop running. It does work with the brake lever, and in fact if it cuts out I can use...

I have the baserunner that came with my gmac kit last year. I think that's variable regen capable. It behaves as if it is when controlling speed down hill with speed limit. Occasionally the ebraking cuts out on a step hill, not sure what causes that, could be the battery

Yes, I went through all the settings yesterday while the setup program was connected and wrote down all that I was unfamiliar with using already. I'm comfortable to go ahead now, thank you. Unfortunately, I'm once again unable to connect. I ran FTDIUSBSerialVCPDextInstaller from the applications...

I converted my old mountain bike (store brand frame, XTR components) with a rigid fork. I built sturdy road wheels around a gmac kit. Really the cycle analyst and controller setup were ready to go electric/electronic wise, but fitting the components to the bike was another story. I had one or...

Well i hear you on the auto updating, I'm still using Microsoft money 98 because the later versions were much worse; found out they did it on purpose to keep users"in the program ''. I want to try the ca 3.2 for the braking but I'm hesitant to do the update for for I'll mess up the bike

And yes the sensor has 2 control wires, as I can see in the setup on the ca

As far as modulating the e-brake using back pedaling, watch this video. This is why I wanted to update my firmware in the first place, free up my brake levers for the mechanical brakes. In addition to back pedal to activate and modulate e-braking you can also use your three position switch in...

I'll follow your instructions on saving the current settings, thank you. I've emailed grin to ask for a file of the original settings that would have come with the kit, but have not heard back yet but the bike does work well in most respects so I'll go ahead. The PAS sensor has 4 wires, red...

Update: I solved the problem. I tried the solution suggested on the grin instructions (not endless sphere (un)official manual) again and this time got it to work! Download virtual com port (VCP) drivers for mac for mac from FTDI, put both that and CA setup utility in the applications folder and...

I've been through everything that can be changed using the buttons, except the throttle settings I don't understand yet. I now try one change at a time, during a ride, if it seems to screw things up i change it back. I'm not 100% sure I'm back at grin kit settings now because of what I may have...
