Today I updated my VESC 4.12 with the latest firmware and switched from the old BLCD Tool to the new VESC Tool.
I noticed there is an option for Timeout Brake Current, set in amps.
Should this work as a fail safe when, for example, the battery of my remote control dies?
Is this motor current or battery current?
Which is a good value to not get thrown off the board, or being imbalanced completely, but still can come to a good stop?
I'm running a single 190kv engine on 12S li ion battery.
Hi, yeah if the VESC stop receiving PPM or UART commands for a time which you set, it will automatically breaks with current which you set. I think its battery current. You have to test it which is the most comfortable but still safe current, I have set mine for 10,4A but I have another HW controlling VESC which is doing something similar with smoother ramping.
OK thanks, I will test it and begin with 5 amps then.
