adding PAS feature on Firmware 5.01

Hi all,

I've been desperately trying to add the PAS feature on my Vesc 6 MK3.

First problem (solved I think) I've downloaded VESC 6.02 and tried to put back the FW 5.01  but it didn't let me even through the archive (probably since I had a custom firmware on it).

Now, when I connect to my VESC, motor runs fine and everything is ok but the PAS feature disapears in the APP selection choice.

From what I understand, I might have to compile a custome 5.01 by uncommenting some lines, is that the only thing to do?

 

Thanks for the feedback,

 

Marc

Well, as it turns out I managed to flash the 5.03 firmware and the PAS option now appears under VESC Tool.

I now tried to have it working by wiring a PAS sensor on RX / TX (pulling RX and TX to ground alternatively, they seem to be pulled-up internally to 3,3V) but to no avail... It doesn't seem to record any pulse.

Would you have any lead on how to make sure the VESC records those pulses? Maybe through debugging via SWD ?

 

Thanks for the help,
