MPIII - Controller setup suggestion

[Libellule69]

Hello again

So here I am finalizing the project and I am not sure what should be the configuration for the controller.
Motor : MP 3
Battery : 48V 20Amp (Ping) LiFePo4
This is the actual setup of the controller.

My interrogation mark is
1.- what phase is the motor? 120 or 60
2.- PAS, what level? and what is this?
3.- Should something else be different?

Well that's it for now,

And thank-you for your recommendation.

Hello Libellule69.

PAS is used for pedal assistance. If you have this sensor installed on your pedals, this parameter is used to control how powerful the motor assistance will be. People that has used it, says that even on the lowest level, the motor is too abrupt. If you don't have the sensor installed, it will have no effect.

Regen is considered not very useful for many people and the presumed cause of controller burn outs. I don't use it, but it depends on how important it is that extra range to you.

Thank Vince

So no PAS for me, good thing.

Question 1, are you aware of the detail, 120 or 60?

Eric, the phase angle should be set to 120 degrees.

Regarding the regenerative braking, I have mine set at 50% and it really helps you stop quicker when you need to brake hard, as well as reducing the wear on the brake blocks/pads. Mine is fitted on the rear and works very well as a sort of anti-lock brake when going down steep slippery surfaces.

I would suggest you give it a try first and see if you can adjust the regen level to suit your riding preference. If you then find that you really don't like it, you can set it to zero.

I'd like to see GM produce a variable regen system that would also work in combination with the cruise control to provide a constant dog walking speed on the flat, going up hills and going down hills too.
