Why And How To Upgrade The Sherman Firmware

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I discuss the what features the new Sherman firmware (version 58) offers, why you may want to upgrade, and how to do the upgrade as I demonstrate the process on one of my Sherman's.

    I watched your video and found the upgrade tool when I pressed the button to upgrade. It was both worry and expectation. Fortunately, the smooth upgrade from 1055 to 1058. The driving experience improved the problem of turning pedal forward, the turning power was more obvious, and the acceleration torque was enhanced; Thank you very much for sharing the video about updating the firmware through the app

    Adjusting voltage I propose to: 1. Charge full like you said 2. Meassure battery voltage with exact multimeter on batteries. 3. Adjust according to that (real value) Why? Im pretty sure used wheels wont reach actual 100.8, maybe not even new ones. I heard there should be a diode on the charge port (though I doubt it as my wheel loads my charger capacitors after shutting off, have a built in display) so need to meassure directly on batt pack connector CAREFULLY not to short of course.

    You are absolutely correct. Just way too much effort IMO. Assuming 100.8-volts is close enough for me, considering that when you are riding at those low voltages you are only going a few miles per hour.

    I wonder if it actually affects operation... Or if it's just read out. For sure i don't think it will affect BMS and balancing, but who knows it might affect the "charging shutoff stage"and in that case it is VERY IMPORTANT to have the right voltage, though i doubt it as it could be a risk (fire and all that). On the other hand BMS will keep leaking so result would be that it never shuts off if adjusted wrong...naaah won't happen as then it wouldn't shut of as batteries degrade

    yup, exactly. No reason to calibrate by guessing, total waste of time. My chargers only put out 100.5v . If I were to simply guess and adjust to 100.8v it would be inaccurate, therby missing the point entirely. I doubt the user adjustments for voltage have ANYTHING to do with the values the bms relies on.

  • @popcultureisdead818

    My Sherman shows 100.8v when fully charged. If your Sherman isn't showing that, it's either due to a bad battery pack or shoddy software.

    Apparently you aren't aware that 95% of Sherman owners never see 100.8-volts. It's not due to a bad battery or shoddy software. It's called low-quality A/D converters not instrument-grade A/D converters. That's the purpose of the new calibration function, as explained in the video.

    Adding some tilt can assist in braking and acceleration. If you have the pedals tilted slightly backwards it can be easier to accelerate. And when I'm descending a long (miles) trail I will often add a 2-degree forward tilt with reduces the amount of effort required to continually brake while descending

    The update worked great for me. Wasn't sure it was worth the risk, but that voltage adjustment convinced me to give it a try. Found that the wheel feels a lot more nimble under 1.0.58 than it did under 1.0.56 (V1 version with original rim), and motor control feels a lot smoother. When riding seated it was vibrating forward and back at certain speeds, now it's just as smooth as butter.

    thx fo info. Maybee update just reset calibration and this fix ride feel? When you make last calibration before you remember? Is better or same pedal dip (angle cahnge) behavior in long turns? What mode you ride hard medium soft? Becasue on soft mode i have 1.0.56 and V2(red butons) i have problem make fast turn pedal dip down and i no have mental power keep stay on pedal with this dip. This is why i prefer medium mode PA+1 (pedal aligment). You feel on 1.0.58 this dip in soft mode too? @ElectricUnicycles say i think same. This app is internal leak from person who have waranty problem and distributor send him app to "Fix" EUC. But buyer make app public "leaked" i dont expect funcion like mileage wipe in end user app but i like is here. Big thumb up for Veteran to acept this and keep download link worked. 👍🏻
