Baserunner V6 User Manual
Rev0
This option can be sensible if there is no pedal sensor on the bicycle so that the
display levels still have an effect.
8.8 Updating Controller Firmware
Since the V2.0 release, the Phaserunner Suite software also has the ability to
update the firmware loaded on the motor controller. The current firmware can be
seen from the “Dev Screen” tab, and the button “Update Firmware” presents a list
of currently available firmware versions that can be installed.
Most Baserunner V6 devices shipped prior to 2024 came with 6.023 firmware.
This release has bugs and limitations in how it interacts with 3
rd
party displays,
and needs to be upgraded to 6.025 or later for use with a Main9 harness and 3
rd
party display.
9 Cycle Analyst Settings
Current Sensing [ Cal->RShunt ]
The Baserunner V6 uses a 1.00 mW +- 0.02 mW shunt resistor for current
sensing. The exact calibrated value is laser engraved on the controller heatsink.
In order to have the most accurate readout of battery current, ensure that the
Cycle Analyst’s “RShunt” value is set to match this.
Throttle Out [ ThrO->Up/Down Rate ] [ SLim->Int,D,PSGain ]
Because the Baserunner V6 uses a torque throttle rather than a voltage throttle,
the entire throttle voltage range is always active. Optimal settings for the throttle
output on a V3 Cycle Analyst will differ than that for generic ebike controllers.
The ramp up and ramp down rates as well as the feedback gain settings (AGain,
WGain, IntSGain, DSGain, PSGain) can be set much higher than with a
conventional controller with a voltage throttle. Good starting values are:
• Throttle Up Ramp: 6 V/sec
• WGain: 50-100
• AGain: 300-400
• IntSGain: 100-150
• DSGain: 600-800
• PSGain: 2-3 V/kph
