hfi needs no sensors, but if you have the temp sensors anyways on the motor, might as well do ASS

no clue how ass works tho :man_shrugging:

i thought the latest one is called VSS or something

25

Hot take:

A.S.S = V.S.S

Just so the Ass references stop.

This feature is ass btw.

Frank said the “latest sensorless Startup VSS”

So hfi was version 1
ASS 2.0
VSS 2.x ?

Probably an incremental improvement over ass, just so they sell it as a new version, rename it and be done with ASS.

Cause god forbid you change the name after it has caused controversy, otherwise it looks like you are “weak” or wrong.

*Just speculation

I think the V stands for Vedder now but agree it was a move to pivot away from all the ASS marketing.

weak? nah, wrong, maybe

“my board got no sensor, it runs on ass” seem like some powerful words to me

i doubt ass was BV’s idea, so he had to coin a new name after frank’s fail marketing

I had a sweet taste of it and it’s a step up for sure. The right side swipe bar allowing can fwd is really nice.

Unfortunately 5.3 beta FW acted super stupid with my setup 3 times now in a bench high speed scenario that makes me not able to trust it quite yet :slightly_frowning_face:

They say the price of Lithium batteries has gone down by 85% but I don’t see it when I go to buy batteries. I’d love to see a buck a cell in 2022.

imma guess that’s the raw material cost going down, but after cell are manufactured, the price are around the same.

Also excited to see the Kami and WavRx remotes as well
