New infineon consistent Rshunt value?

I have a 48v 30amp shenzen controller and read a post from knuckles that the new controllers shunt are now all a consistent at 3.8 mOHM . Does that mean I can program my CA's Rshunt value at 3.8 mOHM and voila? Is there more to it than that. I was hoping that the Rshunt value of 3.8 mOHM would at least ball park it and get me up and running but no luck :cry:
I'm not very tech savy but can use a voltmeter and a soldering iron (even built my own hall tester) yet I'm having a hard time setting up my CA with the proper Rshunt value. I have a voltmeter with 10amp unfused capability to calibrate my CA but electronics are hard to get access to where I live. I'm still considering the easiest way to conduct the calibration. rkosiorek's nicad D cell is looking good to me right now but I don't have access to a ammeter other that my voltmeters amp scale.
My motor runs without the CA plugged in but when I plug it in the motor runs at low speed then gradually shuts off then "boom" large shots of inconsistent power at WOT. I may have to look at my phase/hall connections again because mine seem to be different than Knuckes Grubee setup. There is a faint bit of "cogging" but it did this with the old controller. Is this symptom because of the bad a Rshunt value or does it sound like a bad phase/hall combination? I thought you could still run a setup with a uncalibrated CA? Help :!: !
 
My CA's problem might be because Keywin wired the Hall wire to the hall sensor
amplifier
and instead of direct to the hall sensor. I have a 116 controller chip and it
seem to act differently than the true Infineon boards. This could be the cause of the
weird speed readings. I'll try this and report back. :wink:
 
Tried my bike with the controller's CA hall wire change and voila! I finally have accurate
readings. Well, at least for the speed and voltage. I'll be fine tuning the Amps reading via the
Rshunt setting probably with the excel spreadsheet. I really like methods new 10amp foam
cutter/charger calibration setup for accuracy but I can go through the pain of doing it
manually for now (cheaper and its my first build).
