Inconsistant braking force when full brake starting to apply

Hello,

I am using the Spintend VESC 75/100 v1 (FW 5.3) on an escooter.

I drive the VESC with an ESP32 APP with CAN bus. It uses the COMM_SET_CHUCK_DATA message at 30Hz to give orders (so, little delay).

It works really great... except one thinkg (sometimes scary) : when I press full brake, it never react the same way.

Sometimes, it brakes strongly & instantly, sometimes, there is a delay (~200-500ms) with really low braking force (even if brake is pressed at max during this time), then it apply full braking force.

No error message

Main config :

- 120A / -80A motor

- 160A abs max- 50A / -25A bat

 

I catched the event in the logs :

2022_10_22_16_00_26_Window.png

 

Those are small motor hubs (given for 80A motor at detection).

I tried :

- saturation compensation at 15% : no real difference

- changing sensorless erpm switch : 350 => 5000, no effect (and the current test is at 4500 erpm max).

- changing pos/neg rampup times : 0 <-> 0.5s, weird effects

- reducing motor current to 80A (instead of 120A) : no effect

 

Another strange thing, very often, the first braking is hard, the next is soft...

 

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Thanks !
