Vesc PAS (Pedal Assist)

Good question. It is disappointing that some many interesting and useful posts go unanswered. What is wrong with this forum?

Lack of email notification I think.

Here is my code implementing PAS assist using PPM input for this sensor https://nexun.pl/en/products/pas-sensor-isis-hollowtech-version-d2-waterproof-higo-connector-947.html

Upload it from Lisp tab in VESC Dev Tools. ADC APP need to be configured. I used ADC1 for throttle but it can be changed in the code to ADC2.

; Single line PAS sensor waveform

;-------  ------------  ----
;         ^-pulse width-^
;
; On reverse direction of pedaling the signal is at high state all the time

; When not pedaling(or very slow) the motor is disabled
; When pedaling is detected the ADC APP is enabled and throttle sets assists current
; I removed a spring from the throttle and put a piece of felt inside so 
; the throttle stays at set position

(gpio-configure 'pin-ppm 'pin-mode-in-pd) ; use PPM input

(define MAGNETS 12)
(define MIN_PULSE 0.3) ;seconds, above this pulse width assist is disabled

(define pulse 0) ; PAS pulse width
(define last_pulse 0)

(define last_pas_pin 0)
(define last_pas_t 0)
(define assist 0)
(define assist_cnt 0)
(define pas_rpm 0)
(define riding_stops2 0) ;debug

          (if (and (= 0 assist) (< pulse MIN_PULSE)) ; detect pedaling when pulse is shorter than MIN_PULSE sec

              (if (>= assist_cnt 2) ; enable assist when at least 2 short pulses detected
                (set-assist t)
              )
            )
          )

          (if (and (= 1 assist) (> pulse (* last_pulse 1.25))) ; detect rapid PAS slowdown
            (progn
              (set-assist nil)

how to configure the adc app, what are the parameters please, thanks for sharing!

Como mudar para adc2 no script?
