Beta: "brake lever params" explanation

[Nojevah]

Hello, I'm sorry if you had planned to add explanation later, but I'm quite tempted to test this beta (even if I don't know what could be improved with the actual firmware).

I don't understand at all what these settings mean, except it concerns engine breaking: Lever virtual limit (1-130) Minimum phase current Maximum phase current

I could do like I did with other settings: try and compare. But I don't even know if there are dangerous values for my security or even the scooter's safety.

From my experience, I know engine brake kicks in 1 second after using break handle. I was surprised at first before to understand that it is for safety reason (not being thrown above scooter). Anyway I don't really like engine breaks in general because I think it damages engine (and even batteries for scooters with KERS).

Do you advise some testing values to understand how it works ? Or values not to use ?

Addendum for the beta page:

• The default normal max speed is at 28. I think it's a mistake, it should be at 25.
• It lacks a warning not to abuse for max battery current (for those who don't understand what they are doing): the old 32000 should now be 27400 (or 27000). I don't know for max phase.

The max speed in normal is actually 28 in the firmware. Lever virtual limit: you can make it do 100% current earlier Like normal the max current is at about 2/3 of the lever pressed, you can make the range smaller with the limit Min/max phase current should be self explanatory, you set the max regen phase current Battery current should be about a third from that Use lower start value for smoother beginning and higher max for more power

Ty for this answer though I'm not sure I understood.

Lever virtual limit: The higher the value, the sooner "max phase current" will be reached when pressing brake handle ?

Min/max phase current: Admitting I don't want at all engine brake (for testing or measuring disc brake efficiency), I can put 0 to both min/max values ? I understand it is not recommended for safety reason, but is it dangerous for scooter engine/batteries ?

(Sorry for 28km/h, I was sure the default was 25 for months !)

I didn't understand this answer either. What is "Lever virtual limit"? The position of the brake lever at which regenerative brake starts (with minimum current)? Is 1 "completely released" (or close to it)?

i believe the virtual limit means the position where max engine brake is applied. so for example if you set it to 60 (range is 1-130), it would apply full engine brake at about 50% pull of the brake lever.
