100 W
Anyone played with a throttle that you can twist backwards to increase regen to use for slowing down?
more like $3.Mammalian04 said:It would appear that the reed solution is cheaper (expensive at 60 bucks for a pair) and lighter (reed+magnet seems very lightweight)
ok, finally sorted out the 'overheating' issue - it wasn't overheating really. in interface, when T display is set to T, bars rise quite quickly, but current isn't being limited, and the system isn't OVERheating necessarily, it's just heating.GCinDC said:yep, i did it on both mine and axel's bike. everything seems to work fine, but still learning the features.madin88 said:has anyone already flashed RC9b?
really struggling w/ overheating tho. i'm seeing temp bars and lower power when internal temp is only at ~100F...
translated manual said:T display: T/OVH
Graphic display bar indicator on the right side of the home screen. When you select "t o" the bars will fill as the motor/controller temperature increases. When you select "OVH" bars will fill out only when the overheat protection temperature limit is reached and current limiting is enabled due to overheating of the motor/controller.
edit - i actually think the F/W doesn't force a particular Amp limit, but the Watt limit, because each shunt resistance is different, so the Amp value adjusts accordingly to limit the watts.
no doubt. max power (watts) occurs when max voltage (freshly charged batts) and max current are supplied.Hugechainring said:The only time there is an absolute power limit is when you are running at maximum voltage.
but re the current, i guess what i was wondering: is 56.4A the max Ib A profile setting (for miniE) in F/W 9b, or does the system adjust that amp level based on the max voltage it detects so it can limit the wattage to some fixed amount...
one could solder the shunt and recallibrate it, though i'm not sure if the F/W needs to be unlocked for that?

You should consider starting your own thread showcasing the development of your products. You are swaying us off topic.
GCinDC said:controller heat is now the weakest link in my build, even at 60A max. good reason to get max-E, but i keep thinking about a new enclosure and a small fan..
motor heat used to be the weakest link.
part of the reason for the extra controller heat is - well, DC is stupid hot, but besides that - REGEN. i hardly use my brake pads at all any more - only in emergencies. the regen is strong and awesome, but it does add heat...
I will show case stuff on my build thread. I brought up the cooling system in response to people complaining about heat problems and responded to questions and made a single elaboration on my en devour. A single post with a portion straying from topic is hardly a reason to call me out for being inappropriate. I added my little rant in an edit to contain it in one post.
I'll be sure to keep my solutions to problems people encounter to myself in the future.
