ti842py VS ASI_AmpyDisplay

People have already responded saying yes, but I thought that I'd put my opinion in as well. Yes, you absolutely can distribute an application through PyPI even if it's not meant to mainly be a module, if fact I do in this project. There are other options if you want to go a different route, but PyPI may be the easiest.

ti842py - Some of you might remember making programs on the TI calculators in school, and I had an interesting idea a few months back. I found an old project that could decompile the programs into plain text, so I forked it and reverse-engineered a bunch of newer commands that TI-BASIC (the programming language used on some of the TI calculators) has added. I then set out to make a program that could transpile those programs into Python, and it works pretty well. Some examples of features that it's currently implemented are the drawing stuff and goto (ew goto). If you've got any old programs from those calculators lying around, and it seems interesting, give it a try.

TL;DR: I made a program to transpile programs made on the TI-84 into Python. link

72v/50ah battery and it can't do >8.5kW? Do you know what cells it uses?? Must be E-rated. I pulled 24kW from my 72v/42ah of 18660-30Q cells. Sags too much for that now, after some years. Also I have a lot of experience with BAC controllers and developed my own pi-based display for power profile switching and statistic tracking; https://github.com/cwkowalski/ASI_AmpyDisplay They are great controllers, but also a bit unique and finicky. Also very easy to crack the parameter access level restriction. They literally store level 1/2/3 codes in open modbus addresses 😂

I actually developed my own Pi-based display to do just that, and more including BMS management, with my ASI controller; https://github.com/Xenodius/ASI_AmpyDisplay

Depends on the highway. 98% of the time I use an "efficient" tune power profile on this bike. It's a BAC8000 controller and I developed a custom Pi-based display for it, primarily out of a desire to monitor my battery pack via BMS and easily set charge termination, and to quickly swap controller tunes for drag racing/showing off, efficiency, or legal configurations. I've done a few other mods to it since I made a detailed post about it.

I learned python over the pandemic to create an all-in-one Pi display for my 24kW electric bike, that I could use to retune my motor controller on the fly, monitor the battery and adjust charge limits (for conservation I typically only charge it to 70-80%) and much more. The readme is kinda huge and trash cause it's a very very niche project, and the code is definitely not PEP8, but it works great and it's on git; https://github.com/Xenodius/ASI_AmpyDisplay

This probably doesn't apply to you but my bike is a DIY build with an ASI controller. They have an antitheft feature that can be enabled by a digital switch-- I designed my own display for it which enables this antitheft function and requires a PIN code to unlock the bike. I expect a thief scoping this bike would be deterred by the "TRACKING ENABLED" warning and pinpad... No problems yet.

I recently finished programming my own pi-based display for it, and one thing on my to-do list of additions is to add a serial line to the BMS for onboard monitoring and cell-level voltage faults-- should work for any JBDTools-compatible 'smart' bms. And shouldn't be necessary as long a the pack is kept balanced. I'm pretty religious about that-- had a faulty BMS with no monitoring capability blow up a 1.5kwhr pack before. The only battery I didn't build =) It caused a surprising amount of damage.
