Fixed the assist indication on the display. Now works and blinks when the pedals are rotated.
Finally starting to understand the PAS settings. Borrowed this diagram from the German forum.
Ramp end and PAS timeout are timed amounts between 2 PAS pulses. This is in recorded in 8000ths of a second.
Pas timeout cuts the power if no pulse has been seen for the determined period (must be longer than Ramp end).
Ramp end is the point that the power for the selected level is applied.
It looks like my previous statement that power is increased with cadence was wrong. My understanding now is that power is increased with cadence at lower speeds of crank rotation as some sort of soft start. When a predetermined level is reached the power for that level is applied.
I have had the ramp end setting far too low meaning that I have flattened the incline on the graph. Adjusting the number upwards should steepen that ramp and bring the power on sooner.
Third attempt at the V hill this morning. Behaved exactly the same. Power came back on the uphill as soon as the speed dropped below 25kmph.
