I just bought a VESC 6 and have been playing around with it. I have been modifying the PID controller for a 3800KV motor for days. This is the best result I've got https://imgur.com/a/3JwVKyt
And I don't know if this is smooth enough or it needs more adjusting. Any idea to make it smoother guys?
Here is the motor configuration content (i don't how to upload a file here):
