New versions to try. V11 & V12

Here is a new version to test. V11

* Button/Device Functions. *

We have three buttons and four different lengths of button presses.

<0.5s = Short press for Up/Down Buttons [SP]
<1s = Short press for Cancel Button [SP]

0.5 - 3s = Medium press for Up/Down Buttons [MP]
1 - 3s = Medium press for Cancel Button [MP]

4 - 5s = Long press [LP]

6 - 8.5s = Very Long press [VLP]

Each button has the following functions.

Assist (Right/Up) Button [Red Led]
Short press = Inc Assist Level or Dec Regen level (Assist has 4 steps/clicks) 25,50,75,100%
Medium press = Max Assist
Long press = Toggle Assist Battery Protect Mode. Limits all Assist request to ~12A
Very Long press = Toggle OEM Assist Enable/Disable

Regen (Left/Down) Button [Green Led]
Short press = Inc Regen Level or Dec Assist level (Regen has 5 steps/clicks) 0,25,50,75,100%
Medium press = Max Regen
Long press = Toggle Regen Battery Protect Mode. Limits all Regen request to ~6A
Very Long press = Toggle OEM Regen Enable/Disable

Cancel (Middle) Button
Short press = Cancel any Manual Assist/Regen or Cruise Control Mode
Medium press = Activate Cruise Control Mode. (Target Speed = Speed when Cruise activated) (Flashing Red/Green Led)
Long press = Toggle AutoCancel Assist/Regen <5mph Mode. Default is ON
Very Long press = Toggle IMAC&C Enable/Disable and reset to program defaults

V12 is the same as above but incorporates IMA boost mode.

V12 has 50% Oem assist boost permanently enabled.

So if the car (Not you!) is requesting 10 units of assist you will get 15, and if it is requesting 50 units you will get 75 etc etc.

This won't necessarily transcribe into a 50% increase in amps as the relationship between the amount of assist requested and the current actually given by the MCM is very variable relying on lots of external factors like battery temp, soc, motor rpm etc.

Please report findings. All other functions are as per V11.

I haven't implemented the regen boost yet as that may be more detrimental to the OEM batteries so I've left that for a bit. It's fairly easy to do though.

The assist boost will become on/off selectable once we have a display up and running.

Good luck! Report any issues etc or success
