I'm trying to control the speed of my motor with the vesc tool. It seems like no matter what I do, after I program my esc, it just becomes an on/off switch for my motor. I pass the PPM threshold and it turns my motor on and at full speed. Any higher doesn't do anything. If i go below, it just stops the motor.
I would like to control the motor with a servo signal (50Hz 1.5ms center, 5VPP, 1.0-2.0ms range) to have the motor spin from 0-3000 rpm
Here's my hardware:
function generator for PPM testing
12V LiFePO4 battery for testing
flipsky FSESC 4.12
Flipsky motor - 6354 190KV
I have just been following the set up wizards on the home screen of the VESC tool. Any help would be appreciated.
i will guess that u bench tested it with no load attached. usually speed will be maxed with no load, once u put load (ride ur skate or what ever) ull see difference i.e. speed contoll will work
I was just bench testing it, that's good to know that it needs a load to work. Thanks!
