A reed switch can reverse the action or am I wrong. As long as this is possible, you are not safe as I have said before.

advancedo said:Hi,
after 3 testdrives over several hours with speedict-ebike and testing various software-settings it seems not possible to get a functional setting as I would expect.
I want to use Road Legal 2 Mode. I have connected speed-sensor to port 1 (works correct), blue throttle-in-cable to port 2, PAS to port 3 and red throttle-out-cable to port 4.
First problem:
Throttle grip works with or without pedalling (0 in port-status of port 3), which is not "Road Legal".
Second problem:
Even when throttle-grip is in off-position (Port-Status of port 2 = 0) and PAS-Cadence-Rate to Power-Level-Output is set to 120:10 or 120:1 or whatever: at the moment when PAS is detecting low Cadence
(30? in port-status of port 3) throttle-output is going to maximum (100 in port-status of port 4).
Third problem:
Sometimes (maybe after 2 hours of cycling) my Phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S - LT18i) lost connection and is not able to reconnect even if i close and reopen the speedict-app or if i reboot the phone.
The only solution is to remove power supply to speedict for a moment with the effect that all data in the live-view especially Capacity Fwd is reset to zero and so i lost overview over the consumed battery-capacity.
To solve the two first problems, i plan to use simply-cut-mode with governor to limit the max-speed and build some extra hardware as "PAS-enables-throttle"-switch or program a mikrocontroller to do this in software.
Then i use Speedict-ebike only for data-logging and live-view.
Here is my wish to you, Danny: I miss in the Multi-Data view following two data-fields:
1. current/actual/latest Wh/km (or Ah/km).
The existing Wh/km shows only the average of the total trip and gives no clue, how far can I biking with the current performance.
2. Total Ah as in ebike-setting menu, which would solve third problem.
PS: Even after re-flashing the firmware, nothing change.
PPS: I can not find any setting in the throttle-range-setup that really the whole range of the throttle-grip is used.
PPPS: I have tested with GPS enabled and disabled. It makes no difference to any of these problems.

advancedo said:Here is it:
First you can see PAS shows Cadence=23,8 and Throttle-Out is going to maximum (Throttle-Grip is in Off-Position).
Next you can see Throttle-Out reaches maximum (without pedalling, PAS=0 and speed is over 6 km/h) when Throttle-In is 211 and not near the maximum at 447.

Just got the Mercury totay, and I think i killed it,i was connecting the ports and didn't notice
i dont need to connect port 4 +5v to controller, a little spark and no respond from the
Mercury no lights no bluetooth connection.
Does warranty cover my case ?

speedict said:Erikjan said:Danny do we have the one button roadlegal button with the mercury?
I read the manual but dont see anything about that.
It will be nice when we can switch between roadlegal 2 and unlimited throttle only with one button when cops stops us.
sunday i go install the mercury
we only have instant legal shortcut on speedict venus, not on speedict mercury because the instant legal shortcut is one way quick change which is not elegant enough![]()
imagine you are on throttle mode with current throttle or speed limit to 50km, suddenly you want to switch to legal 2 mode speed limited to 25km (provided you have all sensor connected), after awhile you want to change it back to throttle mode, but current design you might need to go through some settings such as speed gain or time gain on speed throttle setup, that's is painful ...
later we will re-work the whole function mode module to custom function mode, e.g. you can create your own function mode like "test-drive" and all setting parameters will also be stored within individual function, and these functions can be quick switch via shortcut interface.
1. you are on "test-drive" function mode, and suddenly you want to change to road legal 2 mode by tap on the road legal 2 function mode on shortcut menu, after awhile you can tap on the "test-drive" function mode to resume your previous setting.
or 2. each family members can has their own function mode and style !

I was wondering if there are any developments regarding the "test-drive" function.
chucho said:Speedict when are you going to put the option to multiply by the number of bateries to get the corect voltage? How much does the speedict consume?
chucho said:Some one using more than 74v? What voltage do you use in speedict ? Did you use 3 or 4 conectors of speedict?
advancedo said:Android-client-2.4.3:
When I select PAS-Mode with 5 magnets, Port Status says: PAS In 50 (real Cadence is 60, measured with timer).
When I change to 4 magnets (PAS-Sensor has still 5 magnets), Port-Status now show the right value: PAS In 60.

advancedo said:Hi Danny,
is it possible (in the future) to use the usb-port or bluetooth (or if the microcontroller have an i2c-interface to use free io-ports) to connect to an (USB-/bluetooth)LCD?
I ask this because android-smartphones are smart, but in the bright sunlight is every modern smartphone difficulty to read off.
In contrast to LCD, which are in bright sunlight very easily to read off. This is in my opinion the major advantage of the cycle-analyst.
Here are some links:

Next idea:
I use a heart-rate-belt to measure my heartrate when i cycle. I use an ant+ heart-rate-belt from garmin and an ant+ capable sony xperia arc s with following apps: HRnavi+, GarminFit and uBikeLite.
I can use ant+ and bluetooth at same time, but i have to switch between apps when i want to view my heartrate or to view the eBike (or mercury) data.
It would be nice, if it would be possible to watch the heartrate in a data field of eBikes live view.
And then the heartrate could be logged similar to gps-data?

don't waste your time with speedict.
There are many unsolved problems and missing features which we never get.
