A.S.S is senstive to the motor temperature, since the resistance changes with temperature. There is also a method to catch the motor temperature via HFI bleeps, but temp sensors are the way forward at this stage. They are easy to add to non sensored motors and two thicker temp sensor cables are a lot less likeley to fail than 6 thin and fragile wires. Also fixing a broken temp cable is a lot easier than a six wire hall cable. For initial tests I upgraded a non sensord motor with an off the shelf 10K ptc on a cable. Took me 15minutes and a smile…Another advantage is that broken or shorted Hall sensors can take down a motor controller, a broken temp sensor will not do that.
After coding a little HFI bleep into the A.S.S code, BV confirmed that he can now get perfect startup in every single try. An updated Beta software will be available soon.
