Love this! This has been super helpful around regen settings, especially how the pot2 vs brake inputs interact. Thankyou

One quick question - if you have tripmode set to pre charge, does the 5 second pre charge limit still apply, or will it stay in that state forever? (is it watching for a udc value at that point?)

I understand these a lot better already!

A suggestion...

To me it's a little crazy that this isn't written down anywhere. A paragraph or two seems roughly appropriate. Ideally built right into the OI parameter page, on a [?] right next to each parameter, with a popup explanation and a default. Can that be done... somehow? Maybe not built-in (documentation bloat and up-to-date issues), but, can that be integrated from say, the wiki list of all the parameters (which itself is a still a bit sparse, perhaps a brief vs. detailed list?).

I imagine 99% of the time people are going to wonder what a parameter is and how to use it, I feel like they're not going to watch a video or know to watch that video, but, if there's a little tooltip thingy for them to click on, they'll manage to figure it out for themselves and save everyone a headache. Ideally there'd be enough information on hand that most people can figure out how to use and set any relevant parameter.

I'd do it myself but I haven't got a motor running yet, and I'm already overcommitted on "someone" should documentations that I lack the experience to actually document and haven't gotten anywhere with.

Just spitballing, things that would in the long term take more effort but save even more effort.

Christian has added those bubbles to the renewed web interface, now someone would need to extend those docstrings: https://github.com/chrskly/esp8266-web- ... strings.js

This video is fantastic!

I actually thought of suggesting the little (?), great to see that someone has already made a stub for it.
The parameter overview in the wiki is very good. I didn't understand that for regen to be active potnom needed to be negative.

For the inverter params I think I developed an understanding, especially because the code is browsable, the charger params I read several times and I find them harder to understand - but that might be because I am still learning about the subject matter as I go along, but I can feel the fog lifting itself gradually.

Thanks for making this.

Edit: brkrampstr means Break Ramp Start! I kept wondering why it would be called Break Ramp Strength, given what it does.

Cool, thanks

I do actually consider renaming some parameters in the coming release. E.g. "brknom" to "regentravel", "brknompedal" to "brakeregen" and so on. brkrampstr would also be a candidate for renaming

Johannes, please turn on subtitles, to translate into Russian from English

I tried, but youtube keeps trying to interpret my beautiful english as german, despite setting video language to english. I'm now trying different online services to create subtitles

I too recently had problems configuring the options. It's strange that the regeneration parameters were in the "Throttle" section. This made me difficult. Especially considering that the previous version of the software worked fine with regeneration. Thanks to Johu for explaining my mistake.

Thank you Johannes for the parameter explanation, it is a great help.
I have a question regarding throttle min and max values please. Taking settings as 0 and 4095 what does the 4095 equate to in voltage if using 0 to 5v at the pedal ?

On all boards but the mini-mainboard it equates to 3.3V
On the mini-mainboard I added a 1:2 voltage divider, 4095 would equate to 6.6V

Thanks Johannes. No need to worry about 0v wire break when full throttle would become 5v then as it’s already covered by software.

midway, thanks a lot. спасибо большое.

hello, I can’t deal with the throttle, I set all the parameters correctly, potmod shows -7%, when you press the gas a little, potmod is 0% and no longer raises
