You are right. Setting the limits to 20A 900W doesn't mean that they will be used, so could work well, but as said the controller hardcoded limit is 18A, so OSF 20A limit will not work, it should be lower than 18A for effectivity.Lii said:The previous version of the firmware with similar settings worked well .... I think the problem of Mosfeet's burnout is in the PWM frequency......
You can enable cruise mode only with display, not with configurator.raylo32 said:...cruise mode is enabled how does one actually engage the function whilst riding with VLCD5?.....
I think this is the reason why mspider65 decreased that frequency and increased the dead time with his latest BT release (v13).Lii said:... But this will only work at a relatively low PWM frequency. At a higher frequency, the mosfet will not have time to quickly open and close, it will start to heat up. ....

enable:
Level 3 - 2+2+2 clicks, wait E04 stop flashing
disable:
choose assistent mode you want, for example:
"power assist"
Level 2 - 2 clicks, wait E02 stop flashing
Are you sure this was "cruise"mode and not "walk" assist.raylo32 said:.....
I saw a youtube video where they engaged cruise by holding down the "down" button for a long press. ....

Yes, but you only can enable "cruise without pedaling" if you have "brake sensor" enabled.raylo32 said:...the way you describe it the bike will keep the cruise speed up until I change the mode again or hold down the brakes? .... This sounds very dangerous.

OSF v0.18 for KT LCD3 or stock display and as I understand well, like a dead man switch too. The same as walkassist.raylo32 said:This link says to hold down the power button to activate cruise. ....
In EU countries it is forbidden to have an ebike without pedaling, like with a throttle or cruise control as you propose.raylo32 said:.....

Such a bike is from another category (small motorcycle) and for that you need a registration, special ensurance, safety additions and a vehicle approval by the goverment.

This is just relative, because you setup your desired default settings with the configurator and use only some other settings for example on road or off road or disable streetmode on the road.raylo32 said:... poring through the menus. ...

If you have some practice with menu handling on the display it isn't that bad.
Only as a starter it is overwhelming to click so many times to change something.
For XH18 and Vlcd5 that clicking can be done easy and relative fast, but with Vlcd6 you need to push the button 2 seconds everytime.
I have tried the cruise mode a few times with XH18 (level switch is a rotating handle), but with level 0 or stop pedaling the bike stops. It didn't feel dangerous for me.raylo32 said:.. This really should be a heads-up function to be safe and useful. Just like in your car. IMO....

Speed up from level 0 to level 4, stop pedaling and go to level 0 is almost like a throttle
Tried, because I just don't need it. I want a bike, not a small motorcycle.raylo32 said:What you said is the crux of this...I am sure at some point I will "try" this feature. ..
