Popular Post Seba Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I'm happy to announce that long-waited EUC World 2.4 is now available in Google Play store. Here you can read detailed release notes: Major changes and new features: Lateral tilt limit and beeper volume settings are available for newest Begode RS. Battery charging controller, utilising TP-Link HS110 smartplug. Charging control can be used to actively monitor and control battery charging process and terminate charging when battery is fully charged, after balancing phase. User can also define battery level at which charging is terminated (this requires wheel to be connected during entire charging process). Safety timer may also be set to terminate charging after defined time. Note: this is a "Premium" feature. Option to continue last finished tour when starting new tour recording. This is possible if new tour starting point is located within 200 meters from finish location of last tour and last tour was finished no more than 6 hours earlier. LED mode in Gotway/Begode wheels can be set to "stick" to last user selection. Automatic "Go Home" mode for Inmotion V11. When low battery mode is detected, "Go Home" mode is activated automatically so rider can continue riding. Optimizations for Lemfo Lem T or Ticwris Max devices making EUC World much easier to use on these devices. Weather information may be received during a ride, including wind analysis. Weather is reported for a rider current location and is refreshed every 15 minutes. Wind analysis allows rider to be aware how wind impacts his ride, providing information about effective wind impact on the ride. Tool especially helpful for a long-distance riders. This requires Internet connectivity (data plan usage is very low). Note: this is a "Premium" feature. New quick actions added - "Strobe" for enabling/disabling strobe light and "Request weather information" for requesting weather information message. Introduced compact display mode - feature that hides top status bar when minimizing bottom bar. This maximizes usable screen area and is recommended for all small-screen devices. Issue reporting tool built-in into application. This allows user to easily report any issues and bugs and all necessary technical information will be attached to the issue report and sent, greatly helping with resolution of the problem. Internal web server that allows for integration with other applications thanks to open HTTP API. In future releases this will also allow to remotely control EUC World app from any device within the same home/local network (for example to remotely control charging process). Option to keep alive Bluetooth audio devices. Some BT headphones/speakers etc. goes to standby/power save mode when no audio is played for some time. When audio is played, restoring normal mode may take some time causing the beginning of the audio to be cut. Keep alive option prevents BT audio devices to go to sleep by playing quiet noise that sometimes can be heard as a waves on the sea shore. Added Romanian language. Other changes: Unified and simplified user interface. Default font has been changed from condensed to regular for better readability. Simplified and improved dialog windows. Where possible (and applicable), dialog windows were replaced by simple settings in application menu. Application menu has been reorganized. Grouped settings into categories and added descriptions to make settings easier to understand and use. Simplified top navigation bar. Speech and watch button has been removed, as they are not required to be readily available. Remaining buttons has been slightly enlarged, so it's now easier to use them. When connecting to a new Ninebot or Gotway/Begode wheel (that wasn't yet used with the app), dialog window pops asking user to select wheel model. Once selected, wheel model can be changed from wheel settings (not available when tour recording or data logging is active). Interrupted tour recording now also works for autostarted tours. Improves application stability and reliability. Now when killed, app doesn't restart its components. Still, killing the app is not a best way to close it, because... App can be also closed from main menu. Tour map now displays rider location even if tour recording is not active. Journey timer now doesn't start until first movement is detected. Legal speed limit is now adaptive, depending on area (country, state etc.) where rider is located. This requires Internet connectivity (data plan usage is very low). Altitude displayed on GPS gauge is now relative to mean sea level instead of theoretical, WGS84 ellipsoid. Wheel model may be displayed on tour page in euc.world. User may prohibit this in account privacy settings. Wheel model may be included on video overlay. Wheel password dialog is no longer displayed for recognized wheels that doesn't support password/PIN protection. Improved support for most recent King Song firmware versions. Improved support for Veteran Sherman. Other minor changes, bug fixes and improvements. Now EUC World will love you even more Edited January 21, 2021 by Seba 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planemo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Great update cheers Seba! Deffo worth it for me just for the charging data Just a quickie - whats the 'safety margin alarm'? Is that just for the temp or all alarms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagingGrandpa Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 2.4.1, MSX 84V, tour looks great here... HS110 smartplug worked straight away too. @Seba in charging control, if I select 100% as the threshold, what condition causes it to switch-off the charger? (I noticed that if the charger is not plugged into the EUC, and 0 watts input power reporting, it switches off automatically after about 15 seconds...) Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Speaking of 100% charge and smart outlets, (I use DB but points stands: It would be nice with 100% +30min or +1h for the balancing and round up approximations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 PRO TIP: if the play store still shows 2.4.0, go to settings>apps>Google Play Store>Storage & Cache and clear the cache. Then force quit the play store app and relaunch, it should have the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did question this earlier when TP110 support was announced.....and I asked if the user could set a minimum amperage draw to decide when the charger would switch off. It was said that EUCW control would 'know' when to stop...I'm not sure how though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i understand it every value below 100% causes a charge stop once this percentage is reached. So this means a stop once the charger reaches a certain voltage whilst the CV phase. Take a look at my 70% trial graph in https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/18317-battery-faq/?do=findComment&comment=307641 8 hours ago, null said: It would be nice with 100% +30min or +1h for the balancing and round up approximations. My information from @Seba is that with the point "Disable Battery Balancing" charging is stopped once the charger plus battery burdens around 30W. Depending on the chargers base consumption and battery capacity this is mostly a fine value for a normal, recommemded charge stop. With this option disabled it charges about one hour more - so much more thouroughly balancing can happen. So - your wish is the standard option! Full charge to real 100% state of charge plus one hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heffjansen Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Howdy, Been using your app for months and I love it. Thanks for all your hard work. I was happy to see that the current/speed chart has been updated to show mph (if selected). However, there are still some instances where the wrong unit is shown. For example, when I swipe my phone's screen down to show my phone's notifications, then EUCworld shows the distance and the temperature both in km and celsius respectively. See pic Also, I use the pebble watch, and I noticed the temperature is always in celsius. See pic . You will also see in this photo that the speed shows 9mph as somewhat of a "default". Once I connect to my wheel and roll it, then the speed updates. Not sure why it reverts to 9 otherwise! (Note: you may notice that my pebble app looks a little different. I'm using a modified version, but I noticed the same issues on the standard version) Hope this helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my data, my wheel was still balancing down to about .15A, and was only showing a rocksteady current draw when it hit about .1A. Which, handily enough, was about 45minutes after. So for me, an hour should be just about right without trickle charging the batts needlessly. Doesn't mean to say all wheels and chargers will be the same though. Without wanting to criticise Sebas work, I still think it would be nice to have a user-adjustable current cut-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't disable balancing phase and set charging to 100 %, charging will end about an hour after load will drop below 30 Watts.

Yeah that's confirming what I said bud, obviously lost in translation So the 45 mins shown on my charger before the current went static is about right.

Halig Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Many thanks for this interesting update! About major change #3 ("Option to continue last finished tour when starting new tour recording. This is possible if new tour starting point is located within 200 meters from finish location of last tour and last tour was finished no more than 6 hours earlier."): I have checked "Start (tour recording) when wheel is connected". In this situation, I think is impossible to continue with the last tour, because a new "last" tour is started (the actual tour). My suggestion: if this option is checked & we dont have make movement, will be a good option appear the possibility to continue with the "real" last tour and reject the current null tour (without km or change of place) Edited January 22, 2021 by Halig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halig Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) BTW: I just make some test with GNSS (dual frecuency) and odometer and with the new option to correct the speed and distance, the real values comes with -6% in both paramethers in order to have real data in speed and distance. Model V11 and 2.1 bar. Great option! thanks! Edited January 22, 2021 by Halig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model V11 and 2.1 bar. Great option! thanks! I recently heard on here and on Facebook, that -6% is also the amount that has been recommended to set for correction of the Veteran Sherman. I should get to try this out later today, but just wanted to say thanks a lot @Seba for this fantastic New update and all the other great advances it contains.

Halig Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 What are the changes in update 2.4.2? If they are internal changes, don't worry, it is not important. It is simply to try what is new. So far, everything I have tried works perfectly. A small suggestion: If we are in a submenu that requires scrolling down, when we return to the main menu, it stays at the bottom of the menu and we have to go back to the top. I suggest that when going back you stay at the top. Or, ideally, if possible, in the same position we were previously An unimportant detail for how impressive the app is elegant (even more so) and functional. And another suggestion for the future: make a "Basic" mode in which the functions that most people will not use (I know, hard to decide) are automatically removed. I will always use the "Advanced" mode, but I think the app can be made more attractive initially by putting that Basic / Advanced mode option in the initial setup wizard for many people who get lost in so many options.

Paradox Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I use the Belkin Wemo Insight switch that has energy monitoring. Any chance these switches will work with EUC.WORLD in the future or will I have to go buy new smart switches? Thanks for a great app!

I plan to do some research on Belkin WeMo Insigth communication protocol and if it will provide the same features HS110 offers, I will also add WeMo to suppported devices.

Halig Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I understand that to have data on this screen (more than the voltage, which is already on another), you need to buy that TP-Link HS110, right?. This screen is from other guy. Suggestions: In that case, I suggest that, if you don't have it, like smart watch, .. it doesn't show up. Customize which screens you want. For example: I do not use that of the graphs (Although I would love to have here the same graphs that are shown on the web) Customize screens cycle or not cycle (like now), so you don't have to go back to the first screen from the last.
