Multiple questions about vesc control

Hello all,

 

I have a project right now where I am controlling a vesc using vesc uart (https://github.com/SolidGeek/VescUart) and an esp32.

 

This works quite well so far. However, I still have a few questions that hopefully one of you can answer.

 

1. vesc uart does not seem to give me the battery level. Where can I find the function. How on a vesc this is calculated? Then I would just calculate this in my esp32 code.

 

2. since I can't recover power at any point in my application I would like to disable it completely. Is this possible? Also, I would love for the engine to be able to spin when I'm not on throttle. Currently it is being held down by the vesc.

 

3. how can I run a very low RPM on my brushless motor with hall sensors? On my current motor once the hall sensors are active I can't go below 2000rpm. If I disable the hall sensors this is not a problem.

 

4. can someone tell me what the keepalive in vesc uart is for? I do not understand it

 

 

I really hope you could help me :)
