Hi all,
Just started with the excellent new and improved VESC tool but had the same issue with the BLDC_tool before. Seems for me the position function isn't working as expected. If I turn it on the motor makes a terrible noise and shakes like a pollaroid picture on steroids.
-Motor : Racerstar 6056 140 KV
-Sensored (i expect hall sensor as there is no explicit mention anywhere about the type of sensors this has (has 5 threaded sensor cable coming from the motor)
-Calibrated as FOC
Any thoughts?
Position is not supported with hall, must have an encoder for that.
If you have an encoder, in the Foc-general tab set sensor mode to ABI and then use the encoder detect function in the FOC-Encoder tab.
The you must tune the position PID controller.
Did the terrible noise and shaking cause any damage to your set up. I accidentally pressed Position last night and had the same experience. Now my motor won't spin when I try the speed function. Did you just erase all settings and start again?
Running the motor detection wizard again solved the sound.
