Oh I totally missed this notification.
Bullfrog the controller won't work out of the box with 72V battery because its an OverVoltage scenario for a default 52V battery. You just have to go to the vesc tool app, BIKE CFG tab, pick the 72V battery presets (this will fill in the settings) and then hit the WRITE button.
The 72V preset limits battery current to 60A. You can set it higher if you want, but I'd recommend starting at 60A and see how it goes, in my particular bike and with so little flesh on my bones it was a bit scary.
Your firmware may be too old, and if your app is the latest you might have to update the firmware to use that new app. Link to the app is in the user manual (I'll check if link is working now)
D. At 72V you'll rarely hit FW speeds as it would engage at very high pedal cadence and the controller limits the motor rpm to avoid it generating more than ~90V, you can check that in the logs (id current). If you would like to make sure no FW is applied I can add a slider to the TUNE tab, its a bit of code that I could borrow from the M600 UI.

Thanks Marcos. My big hold up now is getting my tablet to work with the latest V2 firmware...but that is my problem and not anything you can help with at this point. I may need to buy a new tablet since the one I have is getting old.Originally posted by marcos View Post
The Field Weakening slider would be nice but no hurry to get it done. You have to understand that the way I use my bike is "NO" pedaling and I gear it so the motor runs fairly efficiently plus never gets me going faster than I can avoid the trees on the single track where I am riding. With my 28 tooth chain ring and something like a 35 tooth rear sprocket and running a 72v battery....my top speed should be about 18 mph and I plan to adjust my gearing if needed so I can NOT exceed 18 mph without any Field Weakening. So when I hit 18 mph, I do NOT want Field Weakening to allow me to go any faster...since those trees start to jump out in front of me if I exceed 18 mph :) AND I don't want any Field Weakening because that will add additional heat that I don't need since I am already pushing the motor pretty hard by not pedaling.
Thanks again...your help is priceless, well almost priceless :).
Just a tidbit for anyone with an older Android device...I believe you need to be running Android 10 or higher to load and use the VESC tool. I had an older tablet I was trying to use and it wouldn't work...got a new tablet and the things you can program with the new V2 Ludi controller are totally amazing :).Last edited by Bullfrog; 3 days ago.Comment

Hey Rob here, I have a question and wondering if any of you can help. I have a v2 controller that I'm trying to set up for the first time. and i think i made a mistake updating the firmware because i keep getting the message in the attached pic and can't connect with the vesc tool after i made an update to the firmware . So wondering how to fix it?Comment

Hi,
I'm trying to determine what version this ludicrous controller is. I was told it is a V2 but the internal component placement sure looks like a V1. Is there a sure way to tell just visually?
ThanksComment

It's not a Luna Ludicrous V2 (picture in your other post) ... Guessing by the ribbing it is a V1 but not positive.
