New Mamba software (beta) posted today

[Pdelcast]

Added some new features, including true torque control (should be very interesting to see the applications for this!)

Getting it now. I can't wait to try this out at the drag strip. Thanks PDC!!

One question Patrick - can we hold full throttle on a 7700Kv or 9000Kv motor on 3S lipo for 3 seconds? That's what we use on our set-ups but I'm a little concerned about grenading a motor doing this. What do you say? Also, how is this new torque setting different to punch control? And can it be used on sensorless motors? Thanks.

Edit: Or do you recommending on running 2S for the motor test and then go to 3S later? Will that be as effective as running the raceday voltage for the test?

Installing now :)

I've been waiting for this for too long.

Finally!

I will install this new update right away.

your my hero, thats going to be nice in my touring car, my diffs will be thanking you too

Ok, updated the firmware on both my MMM and MMP. I see a problem. If I barely give throttle the car creeps forward, then jerks forward to almost full speed for a second them calms back down, if I hold the throttle just barely it continues to do this lurching forward then slow then lurching again.

This is in two cars two separate esc's, MMM and MMP. Going back to previous firmware.

Try this--

Turn off punch control. Set torque control to "7".

Try driving and see what it's like. If you get lots of wheel spin, try setting torque control to half the value (3.5)

Remember, higher values means MORE torque is allowed. Lower values means less torque allowed.

Torque control is designed differently than punch control. It doesn't ever limit the throttle change, but limits the amount of torque that the motor is allowed to make.

Play with it a bit. We are still refining the software. :)

LOL @ Thomas....

We always do that.

Did you reset full throttle, brake, neutral?

[FG101C]

Recalibrate? Yes, I recalibrate after every time the esc is plugged into Castle Link.

This "torque control" could be great. I'm seeing it as an aid for throttle control in the infield without compromising (possibly even increasing) speed in the straight.

Could this be a step toward traction control? Is there a way for the esc to detect rapid changes in motor rpm so it adjust the motor torque accordingly? Then ABS breaks next! :)

ABS already have it, as for TC control, they had it on a few reaaaaaaly old brushed esc's and it worked sooo well that ROAR banned it...
