Yeah you need to install an ACS758 current sensor (I have the 150A version installed) and remove the solder bridge between the two pads. It should work right away when you flash the open firmware
From my experience the motor runs way cooler than with the stock kunteng fw and its absolutely...
Yeah I've tried running the controller with the top open, the heat definitely comes from the mosfets
I'm up for that since I have a pigtail connector for programming that is always accessible
Although my use case is throttle only since I dont have PAS sensor or torque sensor installed
I thought of making a hole on the bag and then making a kind of a scoop to force air into the mosfet side of the controller
and then a hole on the bottom for the exhaust
Another option would be just exposing the whole controller and hiding the cables in a box beneath the bottom bracket
but the...
I'm pretty relieved to hear that
So I guess i have to live with it right, especially when I'm using a pretty aggressive regen (15A)
My current configuration right now is the controller is placed inside a saddlebag on the downtube, so placing it outside the bag would give it a significant amount...
It gets pretty hot, I cant hold the case for more than 5 seconds
I verify current with a an external digital ammeter hooked up inline with the battery
Im still pretty puzzled by this
I doubt its the hall sensors cause the motor came with the controller and it runs normally with the stock fw
Alright
I've been tinkering with the bike for a while now
Got the spec angle tuned in using stancecoke wheel-on-air method, Its on 244 deg with 1.5 amp drawn current
The motor runs smooth, but after some test rides. the motor gets warm but the controller gets pretty hot
Is this normal for an 18...
Update
The ACS sensor has arrived and installed in the ZWS controller, and simplified FOC works :D
The firmware is absolutely way better than I had anticipated, the motor runs completely silent now. It sounded like a tractor with the stock Kunteng firmware. And regen is strong and crisp. I...
Yeah making a separate switch is plausible, a box with the switch and ammeter sounds good. Will just have to see if it works with the 880 first. Don't really need PAS options anyways since I use the bike like a motorcycle :D
Implementing bluetooth sounds interesting though
Ah thank you, I've read the FAQ and was just wondering if it covers my KT48ZWSRKT 18 mosfet one
Another question, will the LED 880 work with the modified firmware (I only need power and light) or do I require an lcd one
I've ordered an ACS current sensor to make my controller compatible with...
HI, I'm new to the forum
I've had a 52v 1500w hub motor system for well over two years now
I came across this open firmware and I'm intrigued to apply it to my setup, especially regen :D
I just wanted to double check if I can flash this firmware into my KT48ZWSRKT 18 mosfet controller with...
