JyYyM Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well, there goes the V8 vs Glide 3 theory, apparently... @t0meIs your wheel showing as on the latest firmware on Inmotion's app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0me Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yup, 1.1.1009, latest according to the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Barbosa Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The 35kph "unlock" only works on the speed setting. It does not override the V8 hard coded safety settings. If you ride on the heavier side, or with lower pressure on the tire It Will put a strain on the SCV power system and its electronics are programmed to act in order to counter It. It does that by tilting and/or alarming. You can find evidence of that on Wheellog logs. On a side note: I weight 75 kg, usually Ride with a 6kg backpack. My V8 rides smoothly above 30kph as long as It has over 40% battery charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But @palachzzz has commented that he is working on a derivative app (probably to sell). Maybe that will have wider device support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QriousJav Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I just got a Pebble it comes in a few days but I was wondering is there anything I have to do on the Pebble to connect with wheel log like a certain app or anything like that. I read something about rebble.io. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weight 80kg, no backpack and I get the alarm and tilt at 30 with 40psi and very gradual acceleration. Sounds different to what you are describing.

Scubadragonsan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Does anyone know when using Wheellog for KS18L, why the battery display doesn't work? It just stays at 100% all the time. This app has no problems with KS18S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, that is the difference, I always get tilt back at 29 or 30 even after setting tilt back speed at 35 in WL and even when riding with 100% battery.

Marty Backe Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Battery Percentage Not Correct on KS18XL During a long duration KS18XL range test, I discovered that the latest released version of WheelLog is not reporting the correct battery level. Towards the end of the ride WheelLog would indicate that I had ~5% battery charge whereas in reality I had ~20%. The battery level (even down to 5%) for my Gotway wheels seems accurate. I haven't had the opportunity to completely test my KS14S with WheelLog so I don't know if this is unique to the KS18XL or is a problem with all KingSong wheels and WheelLog.

I don't know how new KingSong app calculates percents for their 84v wheels (KS-18L/XL), that's why I use another formula for KS-18L/XL (and only for these wheels). Also, if you want to make range test, please note that KS-18L/XL show wrong distance (including total), it is 17% more than in reality, please use GPS for range test on these wheels (you can find it in WheelLog Logs if you turn on "GPS location" in WL settings). P.S. did you tried "20% in reality"?) how long distance you made with that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. did you tried "20% in reality"?) how long distance you made with that? I always use a separate GPS tracker, so my range value was accurate. I ran out of daylight so I couldn't measure how much farther I could travel. But I never heard the low battery alarm on the KS18XL. From my experience with many wheels, I feel confident that the KingSong app was reporting an accurate battery level (20%) vs the WheelLog (5%). I hope to do another test where I run it from 100-percent to 5-percent (as reported by the KingSong app) to see the total range. I just wanted to let you know that WheelLog is not reporting battery percentages accurately for the KS18XL wheel. It's OK, but when a XL rider is getting low on battery, they should use the KingSong app to determine what their real remaining mileage is. P.s. While I have you here, I've been meaning to mention that on the Pebble watch, I never get updates on the second screen (total distance, etc.). This use to work, but after one of the WheelLog updates the 2nd screen stopped functioning. Do you know about this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyzeus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is the alarm on the wheellog app supposed to be audible when enabled. My phone will vibrate when an alarm is triggered but there is no sound. Is there some setting to enable an audible alarm that i'm missing. I find it a bit hard to notice or sometimes don't immediately notice the vibration when my phone is in my pocket. Other behavior I've noticed: When speed alarm 1 is triggered, it will vibrate continuously until the speed drops below the threshold. When speed alarm 2 or 3 is triggered, it will just have one alarm/vibrate the phone a couple times and then cease vibrating even if i'm still going over the alarm threshold speeds. If I drop below the threshold speed and then go past it again it will retrigger the second and third alarms for their speed thresholds respectively. Not sure if that behavior is intentional, but...I have to say I rather like it. I can set alarm one as my last ditch alarm at 20mph, where I know i'm going too fast even if my wheel hasn't triggered the power alarm yet. And I can set alarm 2 to go off at 15 mph and alarm 3 to go off at 18 mph. Which is a good way of getting some speed awareness without having to pull out my phone to look at it. I'm using a Pixel 1 XL with android 9 and my wheel is a gotway MCM 4. I do not have the "my wheel is an MCM" checked in the wheel settings as I'm assuming that's for the more recent MCM wheels as if I check it, the distance/speed values no longer match up with the gotway app values (I'm assuming the gotway values are correct for my wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with you, because Kingsong uses an extremely stupid formula that contradicts the physics of the discharge of lithium batteries, I described it earlier, and also I have discharge logs with the remaining distance. With 5% you had 66.5v (3.325v per cell) you can’t drive even 5 km with strongly limited speed. But if I knew the formula that Kingsong uses, I would use it, as I did for other wheels, just to avoid such questions and disputes. 14 hours ago, Marty Backe said: P.s.

I was asked to add such an option, but I don’t know which exact versions of MCM such issue is present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't argue with you regarding accuracy - you may be right. But what I want from WheelLog is for it to match the hardware from KingSong. If WheelLog is telling me that I have 5% battery remaining but in reality I have ~20%, than WheelLog is not very useful to me. I understand you can't fix this because of your lack of access to the KingSong algorithm. But I wanted other people to be aware that they can't trust the WheelLog app when used with the XL. Such is life. I'll try and discover which earlier version of WheelLog had the working second screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there is no "hardware" in remaining battery percents) Hardware shows only voltage, and then KingSong app calculate battery percent. Pure software )) And I would say that this is a very dirty software, because it does not take into account voltage sag depending on the current. Only Ninebot show hardware battery percent. But I know your position, and it is pretty close to mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know your position, and it is pretty close to mine I'm not choosing the best words (by saying hardware). By hardware, I really mean 'the wheel'. If the KingSong XL wheel tells me with their software and LEDs that I have 10 more miles that I can ride, it would be ideal if WheelLog provided me with the same information. I use the Pebble/WheelLog on all of my rides. It's extremely convenient to be able to glance at my watch and see an accurate representation of my battery level. WheelLog is very accurate with all of my Gotway wheels and the Z10. Not the XL. I think we understand each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansolo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 And the voltage measured by the motherboard is not necessarily accurate. With my MS3 there is 0,4 V of difference in less With my MSX therre is 0,2 V of difference in less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best the values around the 100% "drop" and near 0%... 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
