I have finally dialed this wonderful V2 controller to my liking and just came here to say that this is by far the most fun I have had on any of my PEV's, including my upgraded ASI BAC 4000 Sur Ron X. This enabled my fat bike build to be 3 different ebikes by a simple few pushes of some buttons to change one of my custom profiles. I have 2 questions for the future. 1. Is there any plans to create a torque sensing pedal assist option to a BBSHD in the future? And... 2. Is there a way to make my Ludicrous V1 controller bluetooth enabled at some point? Thanks again for inventing this controller. Cheers.

Good news, your drive unit is getting even better!
Here at Luna we keep working on the Ludi V2 day and night, and after coding, testing and gathering user feedback we have some improvements to share in this new firmware release. It also comes with small tweaks into the VESC Tool app to improve the user experience.
FIRMWARE CHANGELOG
5.02 STABLE-3:- Pre-configured battery settings:
- Soft cutoffs
- Overvoltage trip
- Undervoltage trip
- Cell count
- Capacity
- Current limit
- Tuned temperature limits
- More linear power level increments from the display
- Fixed App "Profiles"
- Faster boot to catch the Eggrider last level setting
- PAS keeps the motor spinning at minimum current to prevent chain slapping
- Tighter 12V rail monitoring
- New terminal command to read and store the default power level for display-less applications
- Embed Luna BBSHD Ludi firmwares into the app for easier updating
- Add Motor Temperature gauge to the realtime page. Motor temp is the main limiting factor and it's good to keep it in check
- Fix FilePicker dialog used for datalogging that didn't work on some devices.
- Remove unused IMU realtime page that crashed on some devices
UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
Download the app installer here
Go to the FIRMWARE tab, select the correct firmware for your system depending on your battery type:
Keep your Android device close to the controller and don't shut down your BBSHD while updating the custom firmware.
REQUIRED TOOLS- BBSHD Ludicrous V2
- Android device
Have fun!

Just took the fat bike out for a 7 mile ride with the Dire Wolf uploaded settings and at my 3200 watt profile, this is more than enough power. Holy smokes. Even when I use my stock 1500 watt profile, this V2 controller is a beast. Torque could easily flip my bike up and over me if I don't lean forward and I am over 230lbs. I pushed it very hard in all profiles and went full throttle after starting from stop with PAS and the motor at 55 degrees isn't even warm to the touch. I remember pushing my stock controller BBSHD builds and the motor was hot enough to cook on. Great improvements here Luna Cycle crew. Cheers.

Thank You Team Luna !
Reading about the development of your custom designed products, and your history of success with those unique designs, is so very exiting for me.

Thanks Marcos.....great work......Still having PC BLE connection issues with MS Surface tablet/Windows 10. .... I have not successfully connected this device to my V2 yet. .... Does this new flash help with those issues? .... BTW...my android is connecting fine and I will use it to update firmware.

Hi - I've got a VESC/controller interface question. I've not had success connecting a Windows10 PC (via a generic Bluetooth USB plug) or via an Android10 tablet. My Andriod9 phone connection seems spotty or intermittent, so I don't want to try the software update with it.
So, I think that leaves the controller's micro-USB connection. Can I extend the controller connection out with a short pigtail, and plug it directly into the PC (and the windows VESC client hopefully will see the direct USB connection?) I assume this is the case, but am just checking.
P.S. if this was written up already and I missed it, apologies.Last edited by ncmired; 1 day ago.

Thanks Marcos, but no rush for now as I can't even get the direct USB to connect (either via "Autoconnect" or via the only two serial ports (COM1 and 4) that show up). I'm not seeing (or hearing) a USB to serial COM port show up on the PC when I plug in the bike either (turned on or off).
The freshly purchased & downloaded Windows client is version 3.00, and the "Autoconnect" error popup says, "Could not autoconnect. Make sure that the USB cable is plugged in (it is) and the VESC is powered (it is)". The cable is (was?) known working. The manual connect errors with, "Could not read firmware version. Make sure the connected port really belongs to the VESC".
I'm plumb out of F'ing with IT patience right now, but I'll try again tomorrow. Whatever's going on wrong with my IT setup is my problem ...Last edited by ncmired; 1 day ago.

Please email Tony at support@lunacycle.com I will get you the files over email. It will be a lot easier that way. Just address it to "Tony"

Anyone have an idea on how to use the V2 with 72 volts no display? I believe it involves using a display plug and shorting the correct wires. I have no idea which wires so, help?
Comment

Yes, you would need a way to short the correct wires and store the initial power level setting in the controller. I'm not sure how exactly people would pull this off reliably though. In my mind it would involve using a cable from a donor display and adding a sort of waterproof switch. Maybe paxtana can jump in here
-
Maybe this would work? This is what we do to bypass display with regular controller.
"Make a jumper out of a multi strand wire.. anything small enough to fit over one pin on the harness (like 20 ish AWG), please see the 3 pictures below. Jump the P+ and PL pins with the jumper. Don’t force the jumper in too much, if the insulation of the cable is too stiff, you can heat the tip of the wire with a flame to soften the insulation, it should slip right on it."

For future reference, Dale had installed the Original VESC Tool, not the Luna Edition VESC Tool we distribute.
That original vesc tool doesn't come with the luna firmwares, and if you flash a non-luna firmware you will brick the BLE connection and will be forced to re-flash it with the correct luna firmware over USB
