Speedict Ebike - Anybody seen/tried this?

my question is, do you also need twist throttle input ? if you use PAS only, may be "PAS to Throttle" mode can help ..

by enable "cadence matching" + "throttle range setup" e.g. you can instruct speedict ebike to start power when your cadence > 10 rpm and set appropriate motor start power, i think it may help !!!

by the way we have plan to design customize power band e.g. you can design your power band by drawing the curve on your android device :)

I presently use a potentiometer as a cruise control instead of a throttle. It's activated by a switch and I turn the knob to make adjustments to my cruising speed. What I would like is that it's activated by pedalling and stops when I stop pedalling. If the throttle only gave a signal when pedalling, this would be the same as what I want because I can substitute my potentiometer for the throttle. In some European countries it's not allowed to have a throttle that can work when not pedalling.

interesting, if i understand correctly, you want and you can use speedict ebike "road legal 2 mode" connect both your potentiometer and pas and owning to the regulation, when you stop pedaling it stop, when you want it be activated your pas cadence has to be detected by speedict ebike ... right ? tell me more see if we can help ?

That's exactly what I want. Can it do that already with "road legal 2"?

yes !

if you have time you can download the Android Client 2 User Guide from our website then ...

1. take a look on page 45 for the connection diagram, so you just replace the twist-grip throttle with your cruise potentiometer

2. go to page 58 you can see the android interface for road legal 2 mode, there are feature called "motor start method" so you select "6 km/h", and you can also set the throttle type to "speed throttle" and limit your top speed 25 km/h so whenever you increase your potentiometer signal, speedict ebike will govern your speed to 25km/h (whatever value or speed you set)

Hey Danny, I've got a weird issue going on. Just went for a ride, got back and checked my wh/mile. It was 43 wh/more in live view. I then synchronised with my phone and had a look at the trip record. The wh used us correct (145wh), the distance is correct (3 and a bit miles) but the wh/mile says 16! I know it was displayed correctly in live view, bit is wrong in the record? Any ideas?
Thanks

Sent using the might of the Android Army!

will get back to u tomorrow

hi, can you send me your log file, or upload your log to our server, we can examine there ?

Yeah, I reckon I can do that. I can save the logs off using the pc software right?

Cheers Danny

you can either :

1. using pc suite, and from the main menu - File -> Save Log (as i remember that)
2. or using pc suite, open you log, chart view and upload to the our internet server and send me your url ...
 
I can't wait to get mine!!! Tracking (EMS) says it is in the US after only 1 day. Presumably, I will have it very soon.

On a side note, Danny helped me change my shipping address since PayPal forwarded the wrong one. Great guy to deal with! Changing the address also might have created a double shipment, he said. His solution: I could send him back the extra one or if someone stateside orders it, ship it from here to the new recipient. That's the kind of service that we need from International Sellers!! :wink:
 
Totally agree, Danny is more than ok to deal with ! Shipping, support is perfect !!
 
yeah ! last week end i email communicate with danny for about half an hour, he gave me a lot of information including their company coming products, features and road map, that's all i am waiting for especially the community concept !
 
What I like is the way that nearly every suggestion we've made has been incorporated into the software. It does so much now and more is coming. IIUC, coming soon is the solution to smooth throttle control.
 
Hi Danny,

Great product and getting better every page of this thread!

Can I ask you if the power can be turned off via the software, which would then turn off the controller ?

Maybe some kind of current limit for the controller connecting your device to the battery to prevent high currents and spark ?

Maybe a power outlet to charge the phone, a cradle for the handlebars ?

That would be really cool !

>> sorry ! it can't

Maybe a power outlet to charge the phone

>> on our project list, mobile phone charger, max input 80V and max charge current ~1A

a cradle for the handlebars ?

>> difficult with many size of Android phone in the market, however we do have a plan to sourcing china made Android PMP ~ 4" and connect with wire not bluetooth, so don't need external power source and fixed size for cradle install.

cheers,

danny
 
Thanks for the reply Danny,

Ok so how about an on off switch or some kind of current limiting when connecting power to stop spark in a future version ?

like this ? anti-spark, we may not produce standalone but may include in our speed controller ... what do you think ?

Yes Danny that would really be good as there is quiet a large spark on some higher voltage setups when you connect the battery to the controller.

Some people use pre charge resistors to charge the main controller capacitors before switching on the main switch.

But if you could include anti spark in your design with an on off switch that would be very good. And maybe have the option to switch on and off the controller from the phone.

The on off main switch would be needed to have 0 power being drawn from the battery if left unused for a while.

The option to read temperature to 150 degrees Celsius would be good for people that drive their motors to the maximum.

Danny, I have not seen your temperature sensors ? would they be small enough to fit directly inside the motor to get a real reading of temperature ? Same with the controller, maybe to fit temperature sensor directly to the heatsink ?

>>> it is difficult to switch on off from android phone, but if for security reason such as remote lock it is ok

>>> yes this is what switch purpose

>>> our temperature can measure up to 150 degrees celsius, we just software limit it to 100

Hi Danny.

Does your product already have an on off switch ? I can't seem to find that information.

Most controllers do not have this switch.

Thanks

may include on our speed controller product, but not yet decided ...
 
firmware 2.4 we did today with port status feature for whose who not sure when connected cable or sensors in function mode has no response e.g. motor did not turn when throttle is applied and no voltage signal show on specific port, in such case mostly was caused by throttle-in cable etc....
