As you can see nothing happens when i connect, im completely lost does anyone know what to do, this is a CAN-BUS model

I'd unplug USB and battery, close program, then reconnect battery then USB then try program again. Maybe test the USB port with something else to make sure it works.
Not sure what pulsing red light is. My bbshd program cable doesn't have that.

when you say unplug the battery do you mean take it off the bike or unplug the lead
modus_bonens@reddit
the latter

Try different com ports?
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
it doesn’t give me that option
Kevintj07@reddit
Yes it does arrow down and use com port 4
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
it doesn’t give me a option to go down com3 is the only one
Kevintj07@reddit
Its in windows https://electricbike-blog.com/2015/03/17/programming-the-bbs02-without-frying-your-controller-and-losing-your-sanity/

i’ve already done all this found the usb in port, it says the device is working but still nothing happens
Kevintj07@reddit
Damn thats annoying, Is it Laptop thing? Maybe try using a friends lappy i'm running out of options.
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
i’m going to try my friends tonight it’s got more than 1 usb ports so i can try com4 and it doesn’t need an adapter like mine now so this is all i can think of to do

i am 99% sure this tool is only for the UART bafangs, such as bbs01, 02, HD. Are you sure you have canbus, is your connector for programming cable a circle or not
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
no it’s triangle have a look at my other posts
rCamilleMain@reddit
on yout cable listing website does it say to use this program or does it not mention which Software at all.
This tool communicates with uart I've programmed uart motors with it
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
i bought it from fruugo website and had no other info i heard canbus are quite new so its hard to program i just have no idea what to do
rCamilleMain@reddit
check OpenBafangTool on github, by andrey-pr
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
i’m new to all e-bikes so i don’t really understand what i’m looking at on github i would appreciate if you could explain it simply and i can try a new laptop with more than 1 ports later
rCamilleMain@reddit
after reading the requirements the tool i sent won't work anyway as you need the expensive service device to use it not your cheap can cable.
I think you don't have to bother trying with the new laptop as this software in your video won't work with canbus anyway
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
okay so should i return this lead and what do i need to buy? thanks
rCamilleMain@reddit
You said you're new to ebikes. What do you even want to change? The bafang tool (BESST) is like at least 150 euros. if you're changing once might be more cost effective bringing to shop
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
every time i ride the bike cuts out after a few seconds and then carry’s on fine but still annoying, it also doesn’t go as fast as it can
rCamilleMain@reddit
Last thing you can try is get a normal PC without the port adapter, look in device manager which com port it has, plug to bike first, then PC, then connect.
I think the CANbus programming Tools are paid or you have to pay a shop to unlock it.
Maybe look more

Battery must be connected during software tuning
THALLfpv@reddit
This. You can’t just plug USB in, it needs to have the battery on as well.
surfyogi777@reddit
You can try posting a LANDSCAPE of the interface, and show all the options; been a while since I had a POS Bafang bike; hard to remember, I sold the USB cable with the bikes.
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
there is no other options
surfyogi777@reddit
I think you can change the PAS levels, and it will show you have modified something. THEN you can save it?
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
but if it’s not connected to my motor how will that change it?
surfyogi777@reddit
It's mostly about being able to set class 3 up, and setting your PAS levels to what works best for you. See if you can take some screen shots, and remember how it was set to begin with; then change stuff and see how you like the bike; then change it again; trial and error.
Resident-Persimmon11@reddit (OP)
but i can’t change anything if its not connected to my controller that’s the whole point on this post, not being able to connect
