    Cycle Analyst PAS settings - speed target possible?

    I made the change, and after a period of frustration I arrived at settings that are way better than the Dillenger controller could provide, so yes, very pleased with the CA3 - BaseRunner combination. I posted a thread on my journey to the settings that work, it's here...

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    I gave up clicking after about 50 attempts. Yellow every time :-( So, waiting for that 6P cable before trying agin.

    Electronic load for testing - any thoughts on ET5410?

    Yeah. If you go back far enough in the thread you will see I'm not into hillbilly solutions. Also - good luck drawing fixed amount of power across a whole discharge with any of the hairdryer etc solutions. And, plugging in, switching on, and setting desired load is a lot quicker than trying to...

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    I found a YouTube video of a guy changing the settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k20iQ_k224E Notably, he gets values in the "Firmware Index Number" and "Battery Code fields". He also gets a yellow square back, but just tries again. Didn't work for me, but I'm game to keep clicking....

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    Many thanks for your help, it is appreciated. I thought I'd post some screenshots of what I see in the software. After making the serial connection (COM6 in my case), this screen populates with the BMS details and cell voltages: Going to the "Readparam" tab, I press "Read All", and after a...

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    Yes, all cell voltage reported correctly. Just can't change any settings,

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    Thanks for all the info . I *think* that all my hardware is functioning correctly, in that I can connect, and do get status data from the device using the UART to USB cable. The main reason I bought the thing was to be able to set the Cell Low Voltage Cutoff to values that make more sense (to...

    Electronic load for testing - any thoughts on ET5410?

    I'm not suggesting anywhere that other people do it. I have the equipment, and so I use it. Buckets of water have poor data gathering characteristics.

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    Mine has UART and 485 ports - does that make it one of the USB types? I'm using their 3P UART to USB cable. I've attached a picture of what I see in the PC Master screen - nothing obviously named "password" - have you found the magic translation for the field to put the password in? And thank...

    Electronic load for testing - any thoughts on ET5410?

    No, I have not tried any computer interface with these. For my main use case, I am hooking two up in parallel to get a constant power load. I then use other equipment (desktop multi-meter, current clamps etc) to get any data I need. Note that they do not have four wire capability, so any...

    DALY Smart BMS: Anyone managed to change any settings?

    I have a DALY Smart BMS (10S). It is functioning correctly, in that I have it connected to a 10S pack, and it is displaying the cell voltages in the PC application (UART connection) correctly. Also, charge and discharge are fine. My issue is that I want to change the cell low voltage cut off...

    How about a 3D printer section?

    Thanks guys - good pointers to get started. Can't print a whole battery holder and case unfortunately - printer too small. But I can set about dividing things into smaller bits for post print joining. Looks like my winter project has arrived :-)

    How about a 3D printer section?

    That is a very kind offer, thank you. I am even more limited in print size, with a Prusa Mini - <700mm square print area. I'm looking to create a number of configurations up to 10S. I think a single holder cell that can clip together to make an arbitrary size might be a good option. I use...

    How about a 3D printer section?

    Off topic - your picture shows a 18650 cell holder design - are there any designs available for download that I can start from? My search skills aren't finding any :-(

    Ivermectin/Covid info

    That article (conveniently?) ignores the translation from infection to serious illness. In countries with high levels of vaccination, the proportion of those infected who end up in hospital (or dead) is greatly reduced. Going on the UK data the proportion is in the order of 1:10. Also, the...

    UK Harvest time for LG18650 3.5ah (all gone for timebeing)

    Many thanks Andrew. Got the batteries back safe and sound. Looking to a nice winter project extracting the cells from the pottage :-)

    How about a 3D printer section?

    Fascinating. I looked at every option for clicking on links on this site, and none of them ended up at this page. I eventually found it through searching for "personal use", and following two linked knowledge articles. But based on what is available through the normal site interface, they want...

    How about a 3D printer section?

    https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/fusion-360/pricing It may just be in the UK, but I don't see the "free for hobbyists" pricing. Which is why I went for FreeCAD. Open Source, works well on Linux. Pretty capable. Work around the drawbacks, or submit fixes - joy of open source.

    Just more than a bike (low power / low consumption)

    LoL - asking about low power on a USA dominated forum, I don't think they believe that 250W exists :-) For me: - Generic Shengyi rated at 250W "maximum continuous power" (sic), supplied by Dillenger - Cycle Analyst V3 and Baserunner controller, configured for 500W max power, and 16mph max...

    Are EzEbikes really made in the UK? How to verify?

    This is your opinion. Based on your posts I think I can assert that you do not live in the UK or Europe. As such, you are not in a position to judge the motivations behind the desire not to be controlled by a faceless bureaucracy. Would anyone in the USA willingly allow their Supreme Court to be...

    Do you think e-cargo bikes should have laws allowing them to have more power than ebikes?

    I agree with this. But I fear the bear is not hibernating, but just dozy. I come to this from the RC self build world. Everything was fine until the press whipped up a moral panic about "drones" flying "close to airliners". Started as a drip, drip in some obvious red tops, and then something...

    Electronic load for testing - any thoughts on ET5410?

    I thought I'd post this here because it would honestly not have occurred to me to do this until I saw someone on YouTube doing it. Picture below shows two ET5410 loads connected in parallel to a pair of Dolphin batteries, also in parallel, under discharge test. Each ET5410 contributes 250W of...

    Setting up a GMAC for "250W nominal power" ?

    People are being a bit vague here about EU regulations. Here are some relevant ones: - EU No 168/2013 states "maximum continuous rated power means the maximum thirty minutes power at the output shaft of an electric engine as set out in UNECE regulation No 85" (copy here...

    Ronapreve approved for NHS clinical use: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58602999 From the article: "It will be offered to those over-50 without the necessary antibodies, and those aged 12-49 who are immuno-compromised - for example those with certain cancers - who struggle to mount an...

    CA3 - Baserunner: Help with PID tuning for PAS only

    Whilst all the above is great, and I now get an enjoyable ride, there are still some niggles. I have a theory about them, which I will share here. I would be very interested to hear any counter points. The remaining niggle has to do with speed of response when load conditions change. This goes...
