That is great, I did read the document.
What would you like to have for yourself, on your EBike, that will be unique provided by your firmware??
What will be your next step?
I will probably not take this very far, I have too many spare time projects...
But the goal is to create a basic working firmware to run without speed sensor and display. Similar to my customization of your great TSDZ2 firmware I have made for running without display and speed sensor.
I like to keep the minimal amount of electrical components on my bikes, less stuff that can break... which everything does all the time for some reason...
I (or someone else) may create a 1:1 replacement firmware for bafangs software compatible with original display if there is any such interest. Then we can fix the throttle/pas bug for all hardware revisions and also fix the 52V 28A issue I believe, possibly also increasing max current a bit further without doing the shunt mod (a bit shady, shunt resistors could get too hot...)
Maybe you or someone else wants to make a version compatible with the Flexible OpenSource firmware eco system you have created? That would be great, it should probably not be too much work once the initial work is done. If someone finds a way to attach a torque sensor that should definitely be possible to integrate into the software.
Currently my problem is that the board I'm working on is hardware version 1.3 and I cannot find any original firmware files out in the open for this version. This means that when I flash my first version of my firmware I cannot go back to the original one if I missed something and need to take more measurements...
I will probably have to get a new controller, or be very lucky, we will see!
Do you know if will be possible to flash the motor firmware just like TSDZ2, without open the motor??
And maybe you should ask for donations, as some users did offer to me motor controllers, even if damaged they may be very useful.
Yes, maybe a wireless torque sensor on the crancks can be used, maybe a DIY using the same wireless board we are using.
About the no speed sensor and display, I also want to make my ebike very minimalist. With our wireless board, with 1 button and 1 RGD LED, user will be able to turn on/off the system and change the assist level - this will make a very clean EBike. And will be very modular because of wireless, at any moment the user can attach to the handle bar his mobile phone to have a big display and full control the motor. Even he can instead or simultaneous, use a cycling GPS to have navigation and record the EBike real time data like cadence and pedal human power as also all other fitness metrics like heart rate, jumps, ride flow, etc. The speed value will be from GPS, but this is optional, some may prefer to install the EBike speed sensor.
And optional is also the wireless remote with the brake sensor signal. Ideally this remote is very small and no wires, for a cleaner EBike. If the remote fails, like battery that will last at least 1 year, the user will also be able to do the same on the wireless board button and RGB LED. And this remote can be bought from a few brands.
Our mobile app would only need to be adapted on the configurations (reduced for sure the number of configuration variables) as also the number of available variables to show to user.
And for the ones that may prefer the Bafang best looking big 860C display, the user would just need to exchange on the display connector the wireless board for the 860C display, as the motor firmware is just the same. But the 860C firmware would need again to be changed on the configurations and number of available variables to show to user.
