Could your software potentially overclock or over speed past the treadmill firmware limit?

[Dannymh]

Hi,

I know this is a random question and there is safety etc at mind, however my treadmill is limited to only 12km/h which is slower than my natural pace. I run at about 4:30p/km across 10kms and is a real punish when running long distance trying to slow myself down for the treadmill feels really unnatural. A 4:30 pace is about 13.5km/h and I am really hoping there is a way to somehow push through the software limitations and clock it up that exta 1.5km/h as I believe the motor is capable of this.

Before I jump into try and get firmware dumps and rip out speed sensors etc, I am wondering if there is any thought on a way to push past that limit with your kit?

cheers
Dan

At least I should need to know which treadmill you have :) Roberto Viola Software engineer and open source enthusiast http://robertoviola.cloud Il giorno mer 2 lug 2025 alle 07:35 Dannymh ***@***.***> ha scritto:

It is a "Fortis 3" which I believe is a rebadged YPOO machine. This one https://www.ypoosport.com/under-desk-treadmill

https://device.report/manual/1783733 is the old manual

Cant see it still being sold

qz can send only speed target. qz can send even speed higher than the max, but if the firmware is rejecting it there is anything that qz can do for this :(
