Programming the Vector Controller
Bikemad:
If the changes you have made are not noticeable, then either they were not "downloaded to the controller" properly or they need to be changed a bit more until you get it working as best as you can.
At least with Bluetooth, you can easily change the settings on the bike and quickly test the effect of the changes. ;)
If the PAS is still not working at lower pedal cadence, you may be able to add more magnets to the magnet ring on the pedelec sensor (if you can find suitable magnets).

Hi Alan,
yes with bluetooth is too easy.
now i've changed and put these settings:
pas ratio 100
battery drawn current 10
rated phase 35
max forward speed 200
acceleration 50
with level 1 help me only with high cadence frequence
with level 2-3-4-5 the motor help me but with same power
any suggestions?
Bikemad:
I don't know what else to suggest, if you can't improve it any more by adjusting the settings, then another way to improve the PAS is to purchase a PAS Torque Sensor to enable the motor to provide power relative to the pedal pressure instead of the cadence.
I'm not sure if these will work on their own, or whether a Cycle Analyst is also required.
Here is the user guide for the Torque sensor, but if you need further information, Gary (GM Canada) may be able to answer questions on that particular setup.

Hi,
now i've solved the problems on cadence.
with different sensor and magnets i've a quickly response from motor.
just the problem on the levels remain.......with level 1 or level 5 I get ever same assistance!
Phoogiman:
First of all, thank you in advance for reading and helping out.
The case:
I want to change Maximum Forward Speed from 380 to 700 because at the moment the topspeed is set to 30 km/h, it is a 26" wheel so should be able to go +40 km/h.
My Pie 3 on the same bike could go over 40 km/h and I could edit the RPM however I wanted. I am confused as you can tell.
I have done settings before on previous series but this Pie is testing me.
I can change other settings like Reverse Enable or the Voltage - but when I change the RPM it defaults back to 380.
Following every step from Bikemads post on the first page:
"First you’ll need to install the correct driver for the USB lead (download and run CH341SER.EXE USB driver in the above link) and download the programming software (LBMC_GUI_v3.3.0_GoldenMotor.exe in the above link).
Here is the important sequence that must be followed in order to connect successfully:
1) Connect the USB lead. (Vector controllers use a USB lead fitted with a five pin connector, see below)
2) Open the software that you downloaded previously.
3) Select the correct COM port from the dropdown option box (if you don’t know which COM port the USB lead is assigned to you will have to repeat the whole process selecting a different port each time until you find the right one).
4) Click the “Connect” icon and wait for the timeout error.
5) Then connect the battery power!!
The controller should instantly connect and the relevant parameters should automatically be uploaded and displayed.
When the alterations have been saved to the controller you need to unplug the USB lead and then switch the battery power off and then back on again for the controller to work."
It connects fine with Windows 10 - I also tried to open the PI-800 software in compatibility mode Windows 7 with full rights, it did not make any difference. Also 5-pin+ports are working as intended. I also updated the USB driver.
I then unplug the USB lead and then switch the battery power off and then back on.. Nothing, back to 380.
If you know what I am doing wrong please let me know, I want it to run 100% unlimited.
Cheers, Phoogieman
