PWD's Yamaha XV250 Virago build

[bananu7]

It has a microprocessor + screen and onboard CAN (with transceiver).

This looks great, i'll keep an eye on it in for when i go back to screen development as well.

I'm still working on the display and I think I'm close to having it working. Its been a while since I've been for a ride so I decided the display can wait.

After doing some reading I've decided to enable MPTA (Measured) on the 3shul controller. Here is the difference it made:


I'm pretty happy with that and could feel it in the seat. My battery voltage has sagged more than usual but I've read that it is not from more battery current being pulled (it is still respecting my limit) but from longer period in the max current zone.

I need to retract that previous statement... the VESC DID pull more current from the battery when using MTPA. My limit was set to 250A but it says it pulled around 400A... I will have to take a video of my BMS to see what it says.
