Luna BBSHD Ludicrous V2 controller documentation

[berkel]

I've been asking and have not received any info/confirmation. I have a V2 from a few years ago running as is out of the box in a EEB BBSHD build 52V. I had bought an eggrider at the time so I could eventually run 72V. I need to update the firmware on my BBSHD V2 ludi controller.
I do not have an android device but I have a Windows PC with VESC tool with bluetooth. I also have the IOS VESC tool for my Ludi X2 purchased earlier this year. Is an ANDROID tablet the only way to upgrade the firmware on my Ludicrous V2 controller for the BBSHD? Can I use the generic version of the VESC tool or do I need the Luna customized one? I downloaded the .apk posted since it had been MIA when I was trying to get this working awhile back. There was some documentation from before, but it seems to be outdated or no longer applicable but it's hard to say.

The three pages I posted is all I get. Luna's page "Ride" would be "RT Data" in the generic. I don't get this or any of the useful stuff, just these posted. I have VESC Tool 3.02,

Recently ran into an issue where the smart watch I bought and was using to view the motor temp real time without pulling out my phone updated, the app I used hasn't been updated to support the new firmware and it seems never will be sadly. I would highly prefer being able to view my temps in real time without pulling my phone out. I know the bafang protocal doesn't support displaying the motor temp (although the eggrider does have a section to display it) but open source firmware for a stock bbshd controller was released and they had the genius idea to have the "range" display the temp, which I would highly desirable as the range has never been accurate or useful anyway in my case. That way the controller could communicate over the bafang protocal and then either the eggriders "range" will actually mean the temps or even get eggrider to update the firmware to correctly swap the range to temp. Would be nice if Marcos still was working on updates so us owners could get these features......

Pax, in my case I lost my presets (manageable) and the Luna custom user interface wouldn't take effect (royal pain). I'll admit that I did not give the generic version much of a chance, as I was in a bit of a rush at the time.

In what way does the regular version not work?

[ncmired]

With some of the Android file managers, you can back up installed applications - guess which app I can't back up? Sigh ...

Thanks for posting ncmired, I was feeling alone. You should be good until you buy a new phone. Paxtana, can we do something about this?

[ncmired]

Apologies xcnick - I didn't check the Play Store previously this morning, should have. The Luna edition I redownloaded about two weeks ago (VESC Tool LUNA Edition, version 3.01) appears to have been taken down. My issues with the generic tool were that I lost my settings and that the Luna custom user interface wouldn't take effect. Pissed me off, and honestly, I didn't give the generic tool much of a chance.

[xcnick]

ncmired, do you have a link? I can't find the Luna version in the play store.

I searched luna vesc tool, vesc tool luna edition, and other combinations... nothing.

[ncmired]

I had difficulties with the generic version too, and reverted back to the Luna version (and firmware), still available on Play. I'll likely just leave the bike be, as it works (as before). I'd still like to purchase one more V2 controller, should they become available.

[xcnick]

Although I am happy to ignore the pop ups, the controller is not. It does not work with the app. Please try it yourself with the latest VESC Tool on google play. It might be I need to upgrade to Platinum or pay something, but my guess is it has something to do with the latest release.

thanks

[paxtana]

The luna version is obsolete, you only want to use the vesc version. You can ignore those errors.

[xcnick]

Thank you Paxtana, can you point me to the Luna Version VESC?

[paxtana]

I know the app can recommend updating firmware but I would avoid this unless necessary for some reason. Whenever you are updating the firmware there is always a chance that it could get bricked. I seen it before and sometimes folks have had to ship their motor in so we can unbrick it for them

I am thinking we need a firmware flash so we can use a generic version of VESC. The M600 has a new version released a year ago which allows this.

This forum has been good to me. I don't understand enough to ask question on endless fear or the VESC forum. Now I wish I had asked questions everyday that Marcos was here.

I have been told that even if I had the apk file, my new phone can only use google play. Here is what I get when I connect with the generic VESC Tool. I can't find RT tools or what Luna calls ride.
