Accessing Your Data Logs
Your dashboard automatically records every trip to the built-in SD card. Here's how to access and export your data:
On-Device Viewing
Navigate to the Data Logging screen from the main menu. Tap any recorded run to view detailed graphs showing RPM, voltage, current, power, and speed over time.
Exporting Data
Connect your dashboard to a computer via the bottom USB port. The SD card appears as a removable drive. Your runs are stored as JSON files in the /runs folder, ready for analysis or backup.
What's Recorded
- Timestamp and duration of each trip
- All motor metrics (RPM, voltage, current, power)
- Temperature readings throughout the ride
- BMS data (if battery monitor connected)
- Error events with timestamps
Firmware Updates
Your dashboard supports Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates. Updates include bug fixes, new features, and performance improvements.
Open Settings
Tap the gear icon to access the Settings screen.
Connect to WiFi
Ensure your dashboard is connected to a WiFi network for OTA updates. Keep the device connected to the bottom USB port throughout the update process.
Check for Updates
Navigate to the firmware section and tap "Check for Updates".
Install & Reboot
If an update is available, tap "Install". The device will download, install, and automatically reboot.
Note: Do not disconnect power during a firmware update. The process typically takes 1-2 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Can't connect to controller?
- Ensure controller is powered on
- Move closer to the controller (within 10m)
- Restart both the dashboard and controller
- Check if the correct password is being used
Connection keeps dropping?
- Move away from WiFi routers and 2.4GHz devices
- Check for metal interference between devices
- Update to the latest firmware
Screen shows no data?
- Verify the BLE connection icon is active
- Check if controller is sending data
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting
Data logs not saving?
- Check SD card has available space
- Ensure SD card is properly inserted
- Try formatting the SD card (backup data first)
Error Codes
| Error | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Overvoltage | Battery voltage too high | Check charger settings, let battery discharge slightly |
| Overcurrent | Motor current exceeding limits | Reduce load, check for mechanical issues |
| Motor Overtemp | Motor temperature critical | Let motor cool down, reduce sustained high-power use |
| Controller Overtemp | Controller temperature critical | Improve ventilation, let system cool |
| Cell Imbalance | Battery cells unbalanced (BMS) | Perform a full charge cycle, check BMS balancing |
| Low Voltage | Battery voltage too low | Recharge battery immediately |
