Hi! I have a problem with my TSDZ2 coaster brake motor and would need some help.
I installed a TSDZ2 coaster brake version to my bike in this week and flashed it with the OSF 1.1.1.
When I try to stop pedalling, motor pushes pedals forward quite forcefully and I have to push back to stop them. Especially using higher assist levels it is hard to stop pedalling because the motor kicks back so hard. Does anybody has had similar problem? Any ideas how to solve it or which direction should I go?
In the coaster brake version of the motor there is no sprang clutch (crankset freewheel) so it's normal that the pedals move always when the motor moves. Somehow it feels like the motor would lack to regognize when I'm going to stop pedaling. I have to really resist the pedal movement so that motor will stop pushing. It's only small amount a time, maybe a second or so that the motor stops. Anyway it feels very disturbing and even dangerous. I have read that there might be a slight delay in motor cutoff when you stop pedaling but I think this is something different.
I have done
heat dissipation improvement,
torque sensor calibration and installed
motor temperature sensor. During the temperature sensor installation I ended up to change the controller to a new one because the temperature sensor gave weird values and I thought the controller was broken. Recently I found that it probably wasn't the case: it seems like the coaster brake version of the controller have one extra pull up resistor that affects to the temperature sensor values (see posts
here and
here). Anyway, the point is that I have changed the controller to a 6pin basic one (It's an old type). It shouldn't be a problem, should it?
Technical specs:
- Motor: TSDZ2 36V Coaster brake version (firmware: TSDZ2-v1.1.1.hex, found here)
- Display: 860C (firmware: 860C_v1.1.0-bootloader.bin, found here)
- Battery Voltage: 48V
- The motor and the controller are at least two years old but they are new, never used before
- Coast brake setting is enabled
- Motor voltage setting is 36V
- Changing the Coast brake ADC setting doesn't affect the problem
- I have done torque sensor calibration and enabled the setting, it didn't solve the problem
I would appreciate any comments or advice. Thank you!
