Hi, if someone is able to help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to be able to use a thumb throttle to control variable regen on my sabvoton controller. I have wired in the ebrake throttle to the ebrake throttle input on the controller, and enabled slide regen in the MQCON app, but it is not working.
Is there something I need to do with the yellow 0v brake input as well to get variable regen working perhaps?
Thank you
"Slide recharge " as it is called in the app works as a motor braking in petrol cars. You let go of throttle and the motor slows you down. Once set up, it can not be controlled wrt how strong the brake force is. Anytime you release throttle the same force slows you down... without touching brakes or anything else. Only applying throttle again stops the braking.
Variable regen can not be set in the phone app. Only via PC software and connecting cable.
The variable brake is exclusive to Brake switch, and i THINK it also doesnt work with slide regen but im not 100% sure on that.
You dont have to do anything with the BrakeLow / BrakeHigh if you want variable input.
E-brake throttle = variable input
E-brake switch = on/off full braking force
the above mentioned option is missing from the android app, you can only set this via PC software.
In the settings you can set the PhaseAmps (motor amps) to directly controll regen strength and thus braking force. But you only set the max value, so it is best to then regulate the force via the variable brake throttle.
The brakes are as strong as you set them to be, but the force diminishes with speed. At near-stop the Ebrakes stop working at all, so full-stop is only possible with conventional brakes, regardless of which kind of brake signal input is used.
