Great Video. I see you said to connect the battery and ensure it is on. I recall reading somewhere that the battery needs to be disconnected. I am scared of doing the wrong thing - can you confirm which is the right thing?
Hi! I prefer to leave the battery connected and turned on cause I've learned in my life to never assume that the power coming from a USB cable will ever be enough 😅 That said, it's SUPER IMPORTANT that you do as the manual says: "Caution. During programming, the display must be off!" That's why maybe you read that other advice elsewhere: overcaution, which is not a bad thing... Do what you feel it's best, just be sure to keep the display off while flashing
I disconnect the battery before doing any installation --> work fine. however I use a short DIY programming cable to make sure there is not much voltage drop on the cable.
I just built my tongsheng middrive last week. I was looking at possibly installing osf in the near future. I think this is gonna be super helpful. thanks for posting!
5 Stars presentation. Very thorough and recognize the time and research you did! Looking forward to Part II and it's info. The CYC Photon mid-drive (@ $950) been getting lots of attention. HV or High Voltage channel is a good source of info. His BBSHD kit is a beast & He loves his Photon. He also mentioned that a Tongsheng engineer has made a separate company "2K"? that's going to expand on the Tongsheng system. Hope both companies send you a motor so you can introduce it to your European viewers.
Thank you very much, for the info and the appreciation 🙏 The CYC has been detected by "my radar", but I haven't yet found the occasion to try it out yet... we'll see for the future! Oh if you're still interested, part II is already out: ruclips.net/video/6Boe3xXcCQo/видео.html
Great video, thank you for making it! I bought now two bikes with tsdz2 conversion, one is 36V 250W, the other is 52V 750W. Need to get my head around flashing both.
@@LukeLorusso Thanks, enjoying both already! There is a difference between the 250W and the 750W motors indeed but I heard that custom software changes feel of both for the better. I'll start with 250W first and then think of doing 750W with SW102 display. Thank you again for your videos. Thanks to them I pulled the trigger and bought TSDZ2 motors as Iwanted riding feel as close to Bosch system as possible and I'm not disappointed so far.
Good video as always! It appears that you are a lot more computer savvy than I. This motor is a lot more complicated to re-configure than the Bafang BBS02
The mystery speed you see at powerup and other times are status - Battery voltage and I think power levels . The odometer compensation option makes it so the first little distance isnt added to your odometer and it isnt adding phantom miles to your overall odometer. I was hoping you would explain the E02 menu system - where you start in street mode so it is street legal from poweron but a combo of buttons can change to say hybrid assist I am yet to see a video that shows that :) But yes Hybrid mode rocks
Thanks man, that's really helpful!!! 💪 It makes sense: 58.3 is the battery %, 37.7 is the residual volt... but what's that last 19? Do you know it? ...yeah sorry for not going too deep into the explaination, I'm still figuring it out
@@LukeLorusso All good - I did mine about 6 months ago and still cannot figure out the menu system :) so like you just set it to hybrid assist on power on. But the street mode from poweron would be good for those countries like mine that are really pedantic about the 250w limits, as if your bike is suspected of being overpowered will only LOOK like a 250W motor without the menu changes.
Hi I’ve got a problem , because I’ve got the stmlink v2 stm8 but my engine has 8 pin and not 6pin pinout , and has someone the instruction how to connect the stink with 8pin because I can’t find it
Grazie per il video anche se i passaggi sul PC sono troppo veloci e poco chiari. In ogni caso la procedura non sempre funziona. A mio avviso ancora la procedura è da perfezionare.
When I hit the compile and flash button, the command promp opens and runs a bunch of code but I'm never prompted to press any key to continue it just closes on it's own. How can I confirm the motor has been successfully flashed?
Great video Luke ! I plan to install the OSF on my bike and already ordered the interface card and cable. Part 2 video is "private" and does not play. Is there any reason ?
Hello et merci! 😊 The second part is live, but it has been re-uploaded, so maybe the link is out of date... Please, check again: it should be good now!

Hi. Great video. I have the same display including all accessories but i don't know if the controller is the same. My bike model is Apex Stark DH 2 battery 60v/20A. Unfortunately i can't enter hidden options in the display menu by pressing in 2 bottoms simultaneously. Can you tell me please if i will upgrade firmware to your version after all can i get an unlock display and do anything from the display. I want to change power and speed.Thanks
Hello! Even if the Stark Apex DH shares the same display, the motor itself is completely a different one from the TSDZ2. Unfortunately, you cannot use this specific firmware to flash your motor
buongiorno , io ho installato OSF DI EMMEBRUSA, impressionante nella potenza ad eco , tour, la marcia spped non la uso quasi piu'. oltre ad consumi ridotti della batteria , non voglio esagerare ma resco a fare piu' del 30 per cento in piu' di strada . Per quanto riguarda il display VLCD5, mi da' piu' informazioni, appena accendo il display il primo numero che compare ho potuto constatare che coincide con il livello di batteria, anche se la misurazione dalla piletta in alto a destra e' molto migliorata, poi compare un secondo numero che ho notato che dovrebbe coincidere con le volts di carica batterie , perche' man mano scende e cosi' anche il primo numero. Devo dire che il motore nemmeno riscalda eccesivamente dopo lunghe percorsi di cui anche in salita. Dimenticavo io un TDSZ2B 500W. Sarebbe bello approfondire la lettura del display dopo l'aggiornamento. grazie
Only you know this :) The detailed part will come with the next video, but suppose you have a 17Ah battery @ 52V. It makes a theoretical output of 17x52=884Wh. For such a battery: Battery current max: 17 Battery power max: 850 (better to be conservative) Battery capacity: 884 Battery cells: Battery voltage cutoff: (depends on you but I would put) 45
@@LukeLorusso Yes, I have exactly 52v 17 Ah em3ev battery. 30 amp continuous limit. I just meant what would a safe max be for the motor to stop it burning with the new firmware ?It's very hot on stock FW. I'm waiting for the ST-Link. I can't wait to try the new Firmware.
@@o00scorpion00o unfortunately I don't own the 48V variant, so I can't be very precise, but I believe the 52V battery might be the reason behind its temperature... you'll surely find some better configuration with the OSF! ✌️

Hi, this working with tsdz2b with 500c display?
I make my own programming cables. All worked so far when using the java tool to install OSF. Anyone interesged in buying?
Does the update work with the EKD01 controller?
Are this firmware be good for TSDZ2B ??
Can I try with this update firmware, with motor TSDZ2B ??
Can you do the same with VLCD12 display? Does this work with ANY display or only for VLCD5?
