[Bwizz]

Finally got my mp3 working, But having trouble getting the pie  to connect top the software. I don't get any beeps or for that matter any noise when connected. Not obvious but I have tried connecing with the pie turned on at the battery and of, but still no connect. noticed the reverse needs to be unselected. but stil no go . I need to turn down the pedal assist as it is to violent. also need to enable regen brake . any ideas appreciated

Bwizz , The only thing that should be connected to the motor is the usb cable . Disconnect the battery feed to the motor at the connector nearest the motor . No battery is needed for programing . Rodmiami

Would the on of switch not serve the same purpose, I'll try though and report back ta

Tried with the battery lead disconnected, still will not connect, also uninstalled software and re installed still no beeps or life

Hi Bwizz,
first: you have the normal USB MP3cable, didn't you?
second: What OS do you have?
third: how do you start it (elevated rights?)
fourth: what does your device manager show under USB or ports when you connect the cable (with or without the MP3)?
fifth: what software (version) do you have

G'Day.

If I could butt in...

I had old S/W with "282" or "288" showing in top right corner. It worked OK run "as administrator" on Win 8 and worked normally on Win XP sp2. Beeps were heard as expected.

Yesterday I found another link was to a later version (executable time stamped about May '13). It works OK EXCEPT the beeps NO longer occur.

So so long as the red notifications show at the foot of the display window all should be ok. If not summinks really wrong.

PS also ALWAYS "DISCONNECT" before closing program!!!

Anyhoo...

Annoyingly the S/W saves whatever you change on the interface (EVEN if not saved to controller) to a file "Data.mxf". If the file doesn't exist it creates it at start up and again at program exit.

So, I discovered that the only way one could be sure the motor was being updated was to laboriously delete that file (folder open behind program) when ever it appeared in the program folder thus ensuring that what I "GET" from the controller was indeed just that (else the file just loads exactly the same thing as last selected all the time). ie whenever I start the program (no file) the options are blank until I "GET" the controller setup; if it then appears as expected then it has updated..

Hope that helps debugging a bit. Regards, Ron

Early days of experimenting yet ,but  I think the programming is working despite not getting any now connected or beeps?

The software is working but I don't get any ,Now connected or beeps. I have other issues though the pedalac function has stopped working,It is enabled in the software! Also the cruise control is very hit and miss any ideas appreciated
