0:00 VESC TOOLS app 0:13 Motor Configuration tab was designed by the maker of the Rubik’s Cube. IYKYK lol 0:19 Think of the first dropdown box as showing all the drawers in a filing cabinet, after choosing a drawer, the second dropdown list shows all the file folders in that drawer, selecting one will show you the form to fill out for those settings. 0:23 in the GENERAL drawer, CURRENT file folders, we see where to set battery and motor current limits. 0:30 I change battery current max from 25a to 20a (2c discharge of my battery, original controller was only 16a) 0:37 Hit WRITE at bottom left to save anything on this form before leaving this folder 0:44 now click FOC drawer and then FIELD WEAKENING folder. 0 amps means no field weakening. 1:02 I restart the app after changing setting or else it gives me annoying popups later during the test ride. 1:13 RT (Real Time) Data shows most of the information you want when riding. 2:39 watch battery SOC% (Voltage within 42v-32v operation range) sags to almost 50% showing this is near peak reasonable discharge for this pack. 2:53 top speed about 32 kph (20 mph) without field weakening. Amps pulled back, voltage sag reduced, can cruise continuously at this speed 6:29 as it is here its a good upgrade from the original Hobby Wing controller because I have more acceleration and useable regen that I can set to my desired values. 6:38 lets add field weakening 6:57 I change field weakening to 10a which is how many phase amps can be injected to reduce the d-axis flux, which does help add torque but does make back EMF, so we cancel it out. 8:04 looks lit it gained 2 kph top speed. 8:14 this screen shows more information, DC amps and voltage at the bottom are most useful for many tests 8:41 change field weakening to 20a and duty start 40% to ensure it doesn’t restrict field weakening 9:04 I push wrong button so settings aren’t saved. 10:09 35 kph top speed, basically unchanged. Hmm, i wonder why, lol 11:00 lets increase battery amps from 20a to 25a (25% increase) to feed that field weakening better 11:26 imagine my surprise to see only 10a. Lol, lets change this to 20a again 12:40 top speed 39 kph(24 mph) now. 15:07 DC amps temporary peaks at 31a even though set at 25a. 16:26 the controller temperature is 53C even at these low amp settings. Its ok for now but if I upgrade motor and battery I need to make a better cooling system for the flipsky mini oven.
@ Gold? That sounds great. Glad you got it all working good. My new Jimmy C4 is slow and lethargic but the Flipsky will let my make it accelerate acceptable because I can increase DC amps from 16a stock to 25a safely without tripping the bms. The battery is still too weak for field weakening.

6:29 as it is here its a good upgrade from the original Hobby Wing controller because I have more acceleration and useable regen that I can set to my desired values.
6:38 lets add field weakening
6:57 I change field weakening to 10a which is how many phase amps can be injected to reduce the d-axis flux, which does help add torque but does make back EMF, so we cancel it out.
8:04 looks lit it gained 2 kph top speed.

Ohh I missed your videos!
@@cjdelossantos5832 did you get your scooter running correctly?
Yes, it's well running now and it just won gold on the recent Ecooter cup😁
Thanks for all the tips👍

@@imho7250 yeah but I'm not the rider.
That's a cool bike!
