Hi all,
I would need your 2 cents on a good controller where I can tune some basic parameters. I have been on EB309s until now from EM3EV (with IRFB4110 FETs for those playing long at home) and absolutely love the XPD interface. As you may guess by now, I was surprised as heck that these controller, as well as XPD are discontinued - since 2017! TBH I bought one, worked, bought a few more and never needed anything else.
What am I looking for:
* sensored control, or sensorless provided it can do high current steap slope start - in my case the last EB309 can, a newer S09S sensorless trips.
* adjust AC and DC current
* limit top speed
* define DC low cutoff voltage
* have the possibility to use PAS or Hall throttle
* can use 14S 58.8V packs. Flexibility to use down to 10S is appreciated
I have looked at a few options, including the sticky ESC vs controller thread and preliminary conclusions:
* VESC: aesome but complex. Can do a ton more than what I need. Would only put time in it if there's no other (good) way LINK
* VOTOL: looks industrial, like the old Sevcon's. Is this really for ebikes? Votol Controller Ebike Controller MCU Manufacture in China
* Kuteng: can it take 14S? Seems like no, but the specs are so sparse I might want to try LINK and firmware mods here
Which one should I pick? Unless there are other ideas
Thanks
