Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: 2013 OEM charger as bridge to DigiNow
« on: September 07, 2018, 11:05:14 PM »
My old 2013s charger is also rated for 58.1v volts. I'm sure that something will start to smoke if you connect this charger to the 116V of the newer battery. It is possible that you can use two chargers in series but i would not try that, it also can go very wrong.

I think that the contactors inside the battery are not closed until the charger enables them over the can bus.

I think that the 2013 Charger has the wrong voltage.

What happens when you reset the BMS?

You can also check your Batteries and much more with an USB-TTL Cable

I have the same issue, did also post here about it. It works with the 1.2.8 APKG for me.

I think the APK should have the folowing checksums
SHA256 910a59165d0c5639d0157f86cbc848e4ce794e60058bbca20088f46efc4a1063
MD5 e288c46b5b8c618b2581ae3e7cc44424

My guess is that something went wrong with a firmware update, my 2016 FXS did not have the correct configuration in the firmware, the model was not set which resulted in issues with the odometer. I did solve the configuration issue with an USB-TTL Cable, but bluetooth still does show up as RN-IAP-XXXX and pairing does only work with the 1.2.8 APKG

I think that the bluetooth module is not initialized correctly by the MBB or has a firmware without the correct configuration.

I did not go to the dealer with this issue because i'm not sure that he can resolve this issue in one day and i need the FXS to get back home. The odometer issue was not resolved by zero and the dealer that sold me the motorcycle. I'm not complaining about the dealer here, he can't do much without the help from Zero.

The layout is a different, the charger of the FX series is in front of the battery.

I have a 2016 FXS, i'm also interessted in adding a supercharger. There is no space in the tank but i have two ideas where to mount the supercharger, one would be in or under a top case and the other variant would be to replace the original charger, i'm not sure if this is possible and if there is enough space for a supercharger.

Ok, i've built a console cable for my Zero FXS, i can confirm that the model is set to NONE:

Code: [Select]
ZERO MBB> set

*************************************************************
*                   System Settings Menu                    *
*************************************************************

  model           - Model Name                                 NONE
  model_year      - Model Year                                 2016
  vin             - VIN Number                    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  serial          - Serial Number             2016_mbb_XXXXX_XXXXX
  runtime         - Total Run Time                   00000:XX:XX:XX
  test_mode       - Test Mode                   : Off

Now, i guess that it is possible to change the model with the correct password...

My dealer did resolve the odometer issue somehow with help from Zero, but now the Bluetooth dosn't work. I have a 2016  Zero FXS.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Need Voltage Meter Recomendation
« on: June 13, 2018, 11:42:18 AM »
I do not think that it is a good idea to use a Voltmeter that has no safety ratings and costs about $5 on a battery that can deliver a massive current. And if you decide to do that, install a HRC fuse and make sure that the fuse is rated for at least 100V DC (not AC!)

I do not yet know much about the zero BMS and MBB, i do have two other electric motorcycles and they do both provide voltage, current and much more over CAN and serial interfaces.

I got older versions of the APK from apkpure.com will try that later. I did try Phones that are newer and older than the Zero. Newer phones do see the RN-IAP-XXXX device in bluetooth settings, i do not remember seeing it with the older phone. All Phones do have Bluetooth and BLE, not suer if this is relevant.

Yes, i did follow the steps in the documentation. The LCD shows two error codes: 44 (Kill Switch Disable) and 45 (Kickstand Switch Disable) So i'm sure that both sensors work. The dealer had some Issues after flashing the new firmware, it is possible that more things went wrong with the update. I will call the dealer tomorow. I think that the bluetooth module is not initialized correctly by the firmware.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Bluetooth pairing issues
« on: June 11, 2018, 11:41:24 PM »
I bought an used 2016 Zero FXS the latest firmware is installed. I tried to pair it with my android phone and it dosn't work. The app dosn't find the Zero and when use the System bluetooth menu i find a bluetooth device with the name RN-IAP-XXXX XXXX is a four digit hex number. I've tried about four phones, it dosn't work. Rebooting the phones or killing the App dosn't help. The bluetooth symbol on the zero is blinking and dosn't stop blinking when i use the settings app to pair the phone. Any Ideas?

My dealer is too far away so i can't easily drive there for another firmware update. I could load the zero into my van but i do not want to do that if there is another solution.
