F****** awesome to see my app on that monster. The power consumption is crazy. 72 Wh a km on average. I would call that a record. But you still see that the average current is low in the active and riding Tab. But something doesn’t work properly with the original firmware. Because you only get one Reatime data update a second. Normally it is 8 till 9 a second so it would give much more data. But i will test this evening with the original 2.18 firmware to find that bug and then the information would be much more fluent and much more detailed.

Jepp, I also noticed the low sampling rate, will make further tests… More time resolution would be great!
Another record is 800W of friction losses when freewheeling (end of the video). Have to blame my ‘gamma ring’ sealed gearboxes for that.
Also sometimes it seemed that the logfile was written while the video was recorded and sometimes not, will try to take a closer look next time.
Found the bug already but need a little while to fix it. The log file is always written when the board moved once. SO it doesn’t matter if you take a video or not. Only when the board doesn’t move (for example to check the battery voltage) then the log file get’s deleted automatically.
Ok, this makes sense. I wondered over the strange logfile behavior while benchtesting.
Is there a technical reason why your app only supports newer android versions. Would have been great to take my old mobile out for skating…
To record your actual screen you need at least Android 5.0. Before it was only allowed to record the camera by the Android policies.
I fixed the Issues for the firmware version 2.18. Should work without issues now. Of course you can only watch the data and not change the mode because you need my firmware mod for this.
Google play needs a while for the upload but you find the file also at my dropbox account.
I would like to try this app, but I cant figure out how to download it properly… I have ubuntu 14.04, when I click on bldc tool in the downloaded file it doesn’t do anything…
@ekitesurfer You have to do it the same way as for vedders firmware. Only difference is that you use my bldc-tool mod and firmware mod instead of his.
I do not understand how to use yours instead of his…
I had the same problem, when I tried to start the downloaded BLDC Tool via double click.
You have to do a right click on the file, choose ‘Properties’ go to the ‘Permissions’ tab and activate the checkbox ‘Allow executing file as program’.
That solved the problem for me.
already tried that, doesn’t do anything for me…
Just go into the folder with the terminal and run “make”. After that it should be runnable.
Maybe a stupid question but did you ‘click on bldc tool in the downloaded file’ or did you unzip the archive (BLDC-tool_ACKMANIAC_Mod_Ubuntu_2_53.zip) in a new folder and clicked on the BLDC-Tool file?
Folder with a terminal? This Ubuntu stuff is beyond me…
unzipped…
After unzipping
I downloaded your file. I “extracted” it, I assume this mean “unzipping”? I right clicked on the bldc tool icon, did the permissions thing and it does nothing when I double click it…
Then go into the unzipped folder in the terminal (shell) and type “make” without the high quotes. If you get an error then post it here. If it works without issues then double click the bldc-tool file and you should be good to go.
I clicked on the unzipped folder and do not see anything that I can type “make” into…
Do you have a windows PC or MAC?
