Extended BLDC-TOOL with Watt Control Mode, PPM Cruise Control, individual Throttle-Curve and Android App

Thanks Nico, I’ll try to do that tonight and report back the results

Exactly what @Ackmaniac said, the BMS cut the conection between the VESC and battery, but there still a current wanting to flow, all energy goes into the capacitors and the voltage rise quickly since they can’t store much charge, triggering the cut off.

I would say to stop riding in this condition, if the conditions are right (or wrong in this case) the VESC may react to slow to the rising voltage and something might blow

@The_Dude was so nice and provided a new Version for MAC. Thanks again, much appreciated.

I added it already to the Dropbox link. Hopefully the problems are now fixed for all operating systems.

This new version doesn’t work with macOS Sierra 10.12.3 for me.

“BLDC-Tool_2.53 cannot be opened because of a problem.”

Works for me now (Yosemite 10.10.5). Thank you very much @The_Dude !!!

Strange - I also gave it to @mrplaygood and it worked for him. As far as i know, he’s also with OSX Sierra. I will see, if I can get access to a Mac with Sierra to check.

Can you post a screenshot of the error? That would help.

Wasn’t there some issue with newer Macs that you have to allow “sideloaded” applications. Maybe that’s the case…

Of course :

Hi, I tried @The_Dude s software on Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.3 and it worked fine. I had not installed QT which he said could solve the problem but I have installed Xcode. If you don’t want to install this because it is about 5 GB you can also install the Xcode command line tools which are free and much smaller. I hope that helps.

I have all updates done, but I have Xcode Version 8.0 (8A218a).

I’m downloading Version 8.2.1 to see if it helps.

The problem is : “dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/QtPrintSupport.framework/Versions/5/QtPrintSupport”

What is the size of your pkg-file you downloaded and used for the installation?

It’s 852 858 bytes.

Updating Xcode didn’t help.

I’m installing QT now… Maybe that was the problem? :blush:

You really downloaded the latest version? The size should be around 10 MB or more. The error you encounter was exactly the error of the version before …

Yes the new version is 10 MB and the old version was around 900 kb. So it seems that you have the old version. Please look again at the Dropbox link and download the actual version. Could be that Dropbox needed a couple of minutes to Update the new files.

You’re right I downloaded the same way the real new version and it works!

That’s weird when I downloaded it first it shown on Dropbox as it was modified 18 minutes ago but actually it was the old version…

Thank you very much! :grinning:

Great, have fun :sunglasses:

I there, just a quick message to thanks loudly Ackmaniac !!! Pimousse told us sooooo much good feedback with it, I’m now in FW 2.53 HW4.10 (no custom throttle curve actualy, wanna test it like that and enjoy the changement of the dual first, then watt and custom throttle curve and maybe cruise controle on CH3?! And test all in session by android … It’s like a dream !). Many thanks for all waht have done Ackmaniac !!! If we could help in any report or other think please feel free to ask (I’m with a GT2B MadMunkey custom by Pimousse with CH3 channel, running 10s5ah20c lipo, dual VESC via canbus and 2 APS 6355 190kv motor) little unusefull video :blush:

Great to see that more and more people are using the mod. You can do me a favor. You can check which pulsewidth signal (PPM) you get at channel 3 when the button is pressed and not pressed.

And do yourself a favor and try the throttle curve with these settings. Makes the throttle much smoother without loosing power.
