EE Senior Design - Controller Code

Hi all,

This is my first time using a VESC and I had some general questions about the open source code and how / if to access it.  

For my Electrical Engineering senior design project I am building an electric skateboard.  I was wondering if it is possible to add different functionalities to the VESC by writing new code.  Everything I'd ever need is already implemented in the software already, but I would like to take a stab a making my own or creating some other functionalities just to learn how and design something new. (Like a cruise control or max acceleration.)

Is this possible?

Are there tools to accomplish this?

How is the learning curve?

Thanks!!!

Hi Flaz,

 

Cool to hear that you are doing some VESC programming! You could get some ideas about cool additions from the feature request thread here: https://vesc-project.com/forum/7. The github link for the code is: https://github.com/vedderb/bldc.

 

I reckon this looks like a really cool project; https://vesc-project.com/node/1430 but alas I am not a coder! 

 

Good luck and  enjoy.

 

Best,

 

Jeremy.
