4. Input Setup Wizard for multiple VESCs via CAN-Bus, using a PPM signal radio controller

Submitted by frank on Tue, 2017-10-03 19:50

Configuration of your VESC® or VESC® based ESC using the VESC®-Tool Software.

In this tutorial we will configure multiple genuine VESC® motor controllers, using a CAN bus link cable. We will use a PPM signal based radio controller and will run the VESCs in Current No Reverse with Brake mode.

Make sure to use the latest VESC-Tool version!

Important Notice:

Run the Motor Setup Wizard on each VESC first.

Never connect a receiver or other devices to multiple VESCs (e.g. Y-PPM).  Use CAN-Bus instead.

Only connect CANH and CANL In the CAN connector. 5V and GND should be left unconnected. 

Failing to follow these instructions may damage your VESC (s) permanently.

Now we will start to configure the master VESC. This is the VESC with the input device (e.g.reciever) attached.

Connect your master VESC® to your computer using a mini/micro USB cable.

Mini USB is used for HW 4.xx only. Some cheap micro USB cables are designed for charging your
phone and will not work properly! Try another cable if you experience any issues.

Run the VESC®-Tool software.

Plug your USB-Cable into the slave VESC.  Make sure both VESCs are powered up and connected via CAN bus cable.

Hello, i cant find the selection form called "Multiple VESC's" for single / multiple vesc in the VESC Tool while setup input wizzard.

the Motor wizzard works fine and recognizes my 2 Motors connected by can .

Then the input wizzard does not show me the form to select the single or multiple mode,like i found obove in the manual.

I select ppm and Dutycicle and finish .

The slave is turning uncontrolled and both have no power.

Each of them in single setup works perfect.

Hope somebody can help

Does Ackmaniac's vesc tool have updates? I downloaded this version with firmware 3.103. But I need higher firmware, because I use remote with telemetry. As I understand,  this firmware (3.103) doesn't work good with UART.

Or maybe VESC Tool Bronze has setup wizard master-slave.

Make sure each VESC has the latest firmware installed. You can use the VESC Tool or compatible software to configure each VESC individually. Set the appropriate motor and battery parameters, such as motor wordle type, battery voltage, current limits, and any other relevant settings.
