Just picked up a used unit and it has #114 installed.
Was trying to look up and see what has changed in the updated firmware but I'm not having any luck in finding any info.

What are people finding to be the sweet spot for 13.5 blinky in pan car is it still 4 amps or just depend on the motor and driving style...
Orion ultimate and trinity monster just want something to use as a comparison
Thanks

Well I've tried everything I can possibly think of in trouble shooting land and yes I have it hooked up right, it was working well for about a year and suddenly this happened. I just spoke to Trinity on the phone and asked me to send it in. Kevin said that he might be able to revive it otherwise it may need to be sent into the manufacturer.

Mine does that for some motors, I have to turn the timing way down...or I put a 2s battery on it instead of a 1s. But it sounds like you have already done that.

Can the Motolyser be run from a power supply?
I have two that are 10 & 20 amp output and can be set 4.2v

Needs a how-to and a tip guide to be worth $400
I have been tuning and rebuilding motors since the 80s. Have also have a real dyno to test loads. I have been using a G-Force (several other brands of same device out there) analyzer for about 2 years now.
I Recently broke down and spent the $400 for the motolyser as it seemed to be the industry standard. Well so far I am not impressed. I have read this entire thread and I found the same deficiencies as others.
#1) No instructions or tips on what to do with the output data.
#2) can’t use if timing it to high, so you are forced to keep the timing low.
#3) Mine keeps over-temping after about 3-4 runs. Checked the motolyser and motor temps 77-78 degrees? Have been in contact with Trinity but they keep asking for version, motors, voltage, etc. I have supplied all that info but no answer as to the problem.
#4) after several motors and testing I was able to determine the "symmetry” (0-4 is good) tells the health/strength of the rotor. The lower the number the better. I had a certified motor that was still fast but noticed not as good when it was new. The symmetry was 12. I used another rotor which tested at 1 on another motor and the symmetry is now 3 and the motor is performing as new.
#5) I had some issues with updating the firmware (using window 10), but after a few tries I successfully loaded the Upgrade Tool. Then the firmware updated easily.
Bottom line as is the Motolyser IS NOT worth $400 as is, but if someone could put together a “How To” and “Tips” guide for beginners and experienced alike, then yes it would be worth it. It’s like getting my 85 year mother-in-law a new iPhone 7 with no instructions on how to use it and she only knows how to use a rotary dial phone. Without guidance and tips it is a paper-weight to a newbie and frustrating to the experienced. I will keep working with it and if I can gather up some useful build tips I will put together my own how-to.
