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.

I completely agree with the points shared here. Crafting a high-quality dissertation requires extensive research, critical analysis, and precise formatting, which can be overwhelming for many students. That’s why professional dissertation writing services can be a valuable resource—they not only help maintain academic standards but also guide students in presenting their ideas effectively while saving time and reducing stress.

My family was visiting Dawson Creek for a reunion, and I needed ideas for group activities. Looked for something exciting to do together that wasn’t just sightseeing. Found Chances Dawson Creek, a Canadian-based site with everything from game options to dining suggestions. It’s packed with details on slots, live events, and bonuses like extra credits for first-timers. The Canada focus made it perfect for our trip. Booked a spot for us, and everyone had a great time.

I follow European football, especially Ligue 1, and needed a platform to add some excitement to the games. That’s how I came across betjili. The website has many different options for betting, plus promotions that include deposit bonus and free spins linked to popular sports. Bangladesh users also get the benefit of local methods and fair odds. I enjoyed it because it keeps me connected to matches with extra thrill.

This is incredibly helpful! I remember struggling with CAN-Bus configuration a while back and accidentally frying a VESC because I didn't realize the importance of isolating the 5V and GND. It was a costly mistake! Following these steps meticulously would have saved me a lot of grief. If you're looking for a way to visualize the potential damage of messing things up, try playing Solar Smash. It's oddly satisfying (and educational in a weird way!).

This is a great tutorial! Setting up multiple VESC's via CAN bus can definitely be tricky. I always appreciate clear instructions like these, especially for beginners getting into the VESC ecosystem. Finding the right settings for "Current No Reverse with Brake" mode is key for a responsive and safe ride. It's also super important to double-check you've got the latest VESC-Tool. Speaking of tools, I wonder if there's a future update that includes a diagnostic function like the one in the old Sprunki app – something that can really help troubleshoot CAN bus issues.
