Luna BBSHD Ludicrous V2 controller documentation

[marcos]

Ok, its fixed now, the UI needed some extra lines of code. Before uploading the change I'll try to also show battery voltage at least as a number because I know that the SOC is not very accurate, it changes a lot when voltage sags. In the next coding rampage I wanted to make a fancier gauge cluster, but until then lets patch this one up

[xcnick]

I just noticed when the guage was correct the heading was the old RT Data, not the new Ride. I don't remember when they changed, but maybe that helps.

Let me check, I think you found a bug that I can fix quickly

[marcos]

oh... I don't know. Let me check this at home

[xcnick]

Dumb question number 2. I tell it I have a 72V battery, then click write. Clicking read confirms the order for 72V has been taken. Upon startup I don't get the overvoltage message. However the battery gauge is pegged at 100% even though the battery is only half full.



When I started, it read correctly, so I must have messed up something.

Hi guys - I'm in pairing lockout hell with the Android app.

I installed Luna's Android app, per #88, paired it (apparently stupidly), updated the controller firmware and when I tried to reconnect, I get the dreaded, "add the UUID to the pairing list manually" notice - which I would do if I knew / knew where to find the UUID (hopefully via the PC USB app somewhere).

It will appear when you connect to the ludi, the new UI is actually stored in the controller, not in the phone ;-)

Break time over.

What happened to Motor Temp on the second page of RT Data?

At least we're both out riding!

If it were the other leg it might pass as my plastic one

Mr. Nolte - err, AZguy, your table awaits you:

Option to have full throttle torque on all PAS levels

Thanks for the update, Marcos!

P.S. Looks like Nick raised his e-bike game a bit. I hope there wasn't any crash events (the knee) - probably an old football related injury:

[marcos]

lol, yes its a *lot* of work put on this and issues will show up but as long as we can fix them to improve the products we're good. I hope one day we can get the releases out over google play, I haven't mastered that part yet.

[xcnick]

Somebody has been working their ass off. A manual? All the settings we asked for? Crack a beer, smoke a fattie, or whatever you do to relax, because we are about to use all this stuff. In a couple of days we will light up the forum, so enjoy the calm before the storm. VESC rocks!

Ludicrous hardware gets a new software package!

Hey guys, we're happy to announce the latest software update. The new Android app can be downloaded HERE:
https://public.3.basecamp.com/p/ANbU...JEzacxxt1gkjQ2

You should uninstall the previous app and then install this one. The controller firmware should also be updated using the firmware included in this new app.

I'll update the first post soon. This release was planned for April but we found a last minute issue that took extra time to address.

This is a MAJOR release that includes:
* Fully revamped UI for a vastly improved usability
* Proper Field Weakening algorithm
* Single firmware supports all battery setups
* Street legal, Trail and Ludicrous profiles
* Option to have full throttle torque on all PAS levels
* Wheel diameter setting
* Reads last eggrider PAS level setting
* Ruggedized PAS algorithm
* Easier to enable datalogging
* Motor temperature sensor detection
* Offset calibrations
* General vesc improvements

For the impatient, this how the UI looks like:



See the documentation for this release that hopefully covers your questions, if not I'm here to help and improve the docs.

LUNA LUDICROUS V2 - USER MANUAL

This firmware is coming from a development non-yet-released branch of VESC that we've been working on for quite some time, we're probably the ones who provided most flight hours to the new field weakening algorithm. I think this branch will be very soon marked and released as stable by the vesc project developers, when that time comes I plan to catch up with that so we stand on fully stable code.
There are some kinks in the UI that we'll address over time, but it would be a shame if we don't make the release now, this is already a clear improvement.

We strongly suggest to update because recent BBSHD motor drives came with a vastly different motor temperature sensor that rendered the previous overtemp protection useless (and the v2 REALLY needs overtemp protection). The luna ludi v2 might be the only controller that can support old and new bbshd motors seamlessly.

Alright, go have unicorn-grade fun!

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up and appreciate the work you guys do!

It was scheduled for a May release, fully tested by the staff and even included in the bikes sold recently... but then we ran into production issues (covid shortages) that took me a couple of weeks and we got suckerpunched by bafang when they decided to change the motor temperature sensor overnight. The bikes we sold had the temp sensor replaced at luna but standalone controllers now need to detect which sensor the motor has... I'm working on that now, StvMan found out the hard way about this temp sensor change.
Anyway, I'm hoping for a June release if the sensor detection proves to work alright
