Popular Post GMOne Posted June 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Hi All! As I promised to myself i worked hard to develop this app. This is the latest version. AVAILABLE SPEEDS: -One battery from 16 to 24 Km/h -Two batteries from 22 to 30 Km/h. Items needed: 0) A Ninebot A1 or A1+ or S1 or S2 (with a quite recent firmware); 1) J-Link (clone too) to connect and download original firmware; 2) Few soldering skills to connect J-Link to Ninebot; 3) A backup of your original firmware! I won't do it!; 4) This software to modify your original firmware. You can find full tutorial below. Please send me other Ninebot binary files to increase the compatibility of my app. And remember... I WORKED HARD, and I want to make it better and to make it compatible with your device, so please be GENEROUS... ? By clicking on KO-FI you can donate... Think how you would have paid to have your speed increased... ? Feel free to suggestions, big mistake patches, and anything else! Any feedback appreciated. Goodnight! GM Please remember to like me, or love me if you feel it! ?

GMOne Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Some other tests... ? They require more fine tuning about limits, tiltbacks and currents (that i won't change, if i don't want to burn my Ninebot)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will test it when I have time. Absolutely safe. Not much code has been changed in this version. I used it for one month and it runs smooth. Of course i can't release a so important software without being sure about firmware mods. Every suggestion i'm looking for it's about the software by itself, or other hints if you want to change the behaviour at high speeds. No firmware can be safe for crazy people that use it without RESPONSIBILITY. Different thing is to go beyond 30 Km/h. I'm trying a little more changed firmware, but it won't be public soon.

MRN76 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I did a similar firmware some time ago (I asked one member of this forum and 7 more devices). Later I will add support for S2 to my program, but only I strictly scored 1 battery - 24, 2 batteries - speed 30. Displays idle time and minor improvements.

I talked with you and you chosed to ask money. You didn't reply anymore. Now i can modify whatever i want.

MRN76 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hint. Do not touch the bootloader area, most boards come with a 1.0.0 bootloader version, but rarely come across with 0.1.4 (there may be others I've seen - only these two), and it is not known how the wheel behaves after processing your program. It may simply not be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may simply not be included. V 1.0.5 Some check boxes added. You can go for the default option, even if bootloader with other limits is executed at the beginning each time. I partially agree with you. To be sure (even if, i know, the risk is almost zero) i added some check boxes. First of all you can try to choose "firmware" only, the default option. The "backup firmware" is not very useful (but i like to mod it to have same firmware on the board), because it cannot be called from anyone.

GMOne Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) V 1.1.0 Changed approach and some contraints added. You must check your file first (firmware and bootloader), and it will enable right options (you can change them if you don't agree). If you have different bootloader you won't be able to change it, only the firmware part. If you try to use it on a different firmware you won't be able to do any mod. This will prevent ANY (even voluntary) possible damage through my app. When you will open your firmware file it will also recognize the speeds written into your firmware. This is for your worries about your file, and about your monocycle too... ? Of course i remember that NOTHING about the firmware has been changed, only steps ahead in this simple app. Edited July 26, 2018 by GMOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOne Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Some screenshots First Step Second step if checked OK Second step if bootloader is recognized different from a standard one Step 2 if incompatible firmware Example of Step 3 (and if you try to reopen the same file the different speeds are recognized by the app) 1) This is can check other firmware versions! No damage will be done if incompatible. 2) I don't ask for administrator permissions, so remember that if your firmware file is not accessible by your user you can't do anything. You can "run as administrator" if you want to be sure to grant access rights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOne Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Every firmware from 1.0.7 is supported. In the next revision there will be a part about serial number: S1, A1 and A1+ can change model to S2 (with its limits), and then increase their limits up to 30Km/h.

I am going to be doing this process tonight. Should I use the hex editor/MRN76's program for now? Also I might PM you for help, but I'm pretty sure I have the process down if I can figure out the Segger computer program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOne Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I suggest you to do it manually. I cannot release it until one day or so... Although it is quite simple. I did it for sake of simplicity. Follow the suggested steps and you will be ok. I will pay attention to your posts... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotciv Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Curious how the firmware change the speed limit as the battery gets depleted? Is it linear or is it 30 kph up until certain battery percentage and then gradually decrease as the battery charge gets lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOne Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 V 1.2.0 -Serial number feature added (A1/A1+ S1 can be changed to an S2); -If it checks a file and it has no admin rights about it it gives "error"; -Little cosmetic changes; -Some minor fixes. Hint If you want to check the patched file close the program, reopen it and check the file. Remember that new speed limits are valid IF AND ONLY IF you "have" an S2. ? Notes When you check a firmware file the program will check if it can be patched (right firmware), read its serial number and then you can change model and/or speed limits (if you are on A1/A1+ or S1 you can go for S2 and increment speed limits all together). Remember to BACKUP YOUR FIRMWARE, even if you can easily revert to original settings. Please use it with RESPONSIBILITY, do not climb mountains at full speed (goodbye mosfets), do not downhill at full speed in front of walls (goodbye health)...

I didn't take a look about it because i don't want to change these behaviours. High speeds at low battery percentage is the most dangerous thing IMHO. But maybe i will investigate about it. Thanks for the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOne Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I think the situation is a little bit confusing so i will summarise every step needed. 1) Have a Ninebot A1 / A1+ / S1 / S2; 2) Buy a Chinese clone or an original J-Link interface; 3) Do a mod to the J-Link interface (workaround on its problem, it won't power your microcontroller so you have to do one bridge). If the original one (on latest EDU version) the mod is the following one: My chinese already had a 3.3V enabled bridge Then you have to bridge externally VTref and 3.3V, i did it on the add-on board, but you can do it internally also if you like 4) Disassemble your ninebot (not difficult, you have to remove every screw you see, and "gently" open it, you can follow one of one million tutorials on youtube). You need to access to the control board. AFTER YOU DISCONNECTED THE BATTERIES THEN PUSH POWER BUTTON TO DISCHARGE ALSO CAPACITORS. 5) Solder 5 wires connected to right PINS on the interface 6) (BATTERIES ARE ALREADY DISCONNECTED AND CAPACITORS DISCHARGED) Use J-Flash (4.20a for clone or latest for original, Google it) to read the chip. Configure it first as follows: 7) In menu Target try to connect it, if it gives error about power check your mod (better with a multimeter) 8 ) Read back your chip (Target menu) and save your file (in multiple copies!) 9) Download latest version of Speed2Increase from the topic you are reading ? 10) Open it and open one copy of your firmware 11) Check it, and choose what you want - If you have an A1 A1+ or S1 it is suggested to convert it to S2 (otherwise you cannot change limits), and then increase your limits; - If you have an S2 you can directly increase your speed limits; 12) Patch the file, write it back through the J-Flash menu Target choosing write and verify (yes, you can delete the areas...) 13) Disconnect the chip (from the same menu), close the Ninebot taking out the soldered wires from one of the two side holes (i took out a connector, so i can connect it to one of the add-on board connectors); in that way you don't need to reopen your ninebot to reprogram it; connect of course batteries (don't worry about sparks...). Before closing the Ninebot you can connect batteries only (power and control contacts, you don't need lights ;-)) and check the result with its Segway software on your mobile phone; Pay attention to wires you took out! They must be isolated each other! No contact between them at all! 14) Remember to thank me through the "heart button" and please donate me some coffee... ? 15) Ride your monocycle freely but with RESPONSIBILITY! REMEMBER THAT EACH TIME YOU WANT TO REPROGRAM YOUR NINEBOT YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERIES AND DISCHARGE CAPACITORS PUSHING POWER BUTTON. I hope i didn't forget anything. HAPPY FLASHING!!!
