Luna BBSHD Ludicrous V2 controller documentation

Thanks Adam, that will be my “plan B”.

Welcome to the V2 club. I'll leave the answers to your questions to Marcos, only to say that if the 750c does not work out, the Eggrider works very well.

Hi Marcos,
I just ordered my V2, and have some questions while I’m waiting for it to arrive:
1) Should I expect it to have the latest firmware loaded when it arrives, or should I plan an update to be one of my first actions?
2) I believe that the latest firmware allows quickly switching between 52v and 72v, correct?
3) Is PAS functional at 72v? (I understand the cadence and gear selection issues 72v creates.)
4) I have an ASI BAC 800, from ERT, that I’d been running at 72v, so I have their 750c display, which Alan modified to run 72v. Can I use that display with the V2, if I want to try it at 72v ? I’ll understand if you’re unfamiliar with that product, and don’t wish to comment on that question, but the 750c is my favorite display, it’s also what I run on my 52v bikes, and I’d love to be able to use it at 72v, with the V2.
I’ve been reading this thread, and I’m extremely impressed by the level of support I’m seeing.
It seems exceptional, even for Luna, which is generally excellent, and worlds beyond ASI or ERT.
Thanks,
Mike

I havent heard of any problem, just make sure the eggrider has the beta firmware so it displays battery voltage correctly. More info in the ludi user manual

Hey guys, anyone having any issues with a 72v and Eggrider display? I heard 72v doesn't work too well with V2 Controller.

asking because some guy wants to sell me his.

Marcos,
thank you, I got it downloaded OK now

Hi Mike, go to post #96 in this thread, the link and user manual are there. I'll try to get the post #1 updated today

[Mike Eatough]

Where can I download the appropriate VESC tool for a V2 controller, the link on this forum is not working?

There's been some OD'ing but mostly just late in the day/evening and az soaring (Estrella) has been only benefiting from the monsoon right now... it's supposed to get worse middle of the week though

I've got a buddy that I was soaring with back in '95 that moved on to the big boys and flying a global express these days (chauffeur for the rich and famous) - last year he got based out here so we've been back down at Estrella a couple of times

El Tiro doesn't have the huge mountains you have there, just a lot of really good thermal activity... and from what I understand you all get the crazy winter wave... winter wave happens here in AZ but it's not so often or dependable at all. I started out at Warner Springs in the 80's and we'd get some good winter wave out there - 20-25K wasn't unheard of... I actually used to work wave conditions in the diver back in the day too... nothing really high, but fun for wintertime flying for sure - most the hang guys didn't really understand it...

Tuscon is second in the USA weekend competition using a Strava like computer program. Tenth in world. Bragging rights is as much our weather vs. theirs as it is pilot vs. pilot. I hear you having overdevelopment with rain and lightning. Too bad for you. Minden is even crushing the Eurotrash in the world comp.

Nice line-up

The 1-34 isn't all that bad - sure beats the 1-26 and 1-36 they have at my local place (az soaring). Their high performance rental is a genesis 2 and they also have a PW-5.

The big xc flying around here is mostly down at El Tiro (Tucson soaring club)... those guys set records...

ncmired what are you talking about?

no, a different bike, i bought a 2021 Giant Talon 2
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/talon-2-2021

right now all i'm asking if I should expect any issues with the controller that I need to be aware of with either a 52v or 72v battery and eggrider display..

[marcos]

I purposely coded the throttle response slider with a 3 second maximum because I remember you used that setting. If you really need a 3 second ramp on the pedal assist let me know and I can add it in the next release (by default the ramp is 1.25 sec)

Release date is a good idea, will try to make it happen. Vesc version numbers are a bit limited, its just X.XX and for this fast paced development I would like X.XX.XXXX

What bike? The Specialized Sirrus Sport mentioned here: https://electricbike.com/forum/forum...ed-some-advice?

Is the motor install complete? How does it ride?

For a start, I'd install Luna's Peek gear. Then I'd fatten up the tires is big as the frame will clear, and then get a bigger front brake rotor.

Finally, I'd hope that the battery's BMS is up to the task, an issue that easier managed by the new firmware. You really don't want the battery to cry "uncle" and shut down while crossing a big & busy intersection.

[adamlivi]

Marcos. Really liking the new firmware. Set throttle and pas ramp up to 3 seconds for locomotive snd butter smooth power which is import on a 3 speed IGH and belt drive. I love this setup.

Well done.

possible to put release date in version notes of updates?
