Yes, I have the all the things needed to program the motor controller from my PC. The motor only has one set of parameters so what I'm wondering is how the display learns my new settings without just overwriting them. And then what happens when I switch from eco to sport.
The display does not learn them, it has its own separate set of settings that interact with those of the controller. Some do overlap such as Top speed, but I believe that the controller one is dominant unless you set the controller Top Speed setting to "By Displays Command"
Interesting about the odds / even thing. I'm gonna look for that, thank you.
That is interesting... I wonder what happens if you select to have 9 levels of PAS? Or is that not an option for systems with Eco/Sport?
Right, not an option.
I'll take the 9 PAS levels then.
I didn't need a driver on the W/10 laptop I use. Where I had trouble was typing in the com port it was asking for. Turned out that has to be done in Caps with no space between COM and the port number. (E.G. COM4) Once I had that figured out, we were good to go.
Windows should install any USB to Serial Port drivers necessary automatically if not already installed.
I tried AHicks COM in caps and your device manager look. It shows the USB but no driver and update driver does not work even though I downloaded the suggested driver. I think it may be the cable as a previous poster noted back to Amazon it goes and perhaps order another one. USB is usually easy so this is a little concerning.
Totally! I come from a cycling background and I wanted to set up the motor so it won't run away from me on pedal assist. Also, conserve power and engage gently, disengage quickly and pull power way back when my leg rpms show i don't need any more help. I've come up with my own setup for this that might be worth looking at for some. I've read all the articles in Post #1 - especially Karl Gesslein's, and by and large use a bit here and a piece there, and tinkered mid ride. Plus it seems the BBSHD's of two or three years ago don't behave the same as the ones sold today based on settings that are great on one old motor and crap on a new one.

Thanks but after successful driver installation ... no cigar. Win 10 still does not detect a driver.
So it was NOT a successful installation. Are you using a Prolific driver for W10?
Yay Matt! Nicely done!Totally! I come from a cycling background and I wanted to set up the motor so it won't run away from me on pedal assist.

With any luck, some of these bits will be different enough to be useful to someone building their own preferences up (I can only speak to BBSHDs):

(But Not For The Throttler) There is a follow-on to this article that tinkers with these settings a bit further. In August 2023 I published another update that passed along what I’m doing dif…
Who has a link to Penoff's rewritten BBSxx software that installs so easily? Never mind. Found it. The guy rewrote the software, and his version installs pretty much automatically - or much easier at the very least. Use the link, then scroll down to "Here" and download his software. See if that takes care of your issue....
