HFI and a big in-runner? 65121 Motor and Flipsky 75200 Pro V2 ESC.

I am trying to get HFI running.

Hardware: Flipsky 75200 Pro V2 ESC.  Flipsky 65121 brushless motor

Firmware 6.05, HW 75_300_R2. Stable release

Following the following YouTube setup video: VESC Sensorless HFI Tutorial(FW 4.0)

I can't get good data while graphing.  When I enable HFI plotting (foc_plot_hfi_en 1) I get a couple outlying values of 100+ which makes the graph unreadable.  Pic below.  Any idea how to fix this?

Some Flipsky Controllers do not have the best hardware design. Also they are often using wrong firmware for their hardware so you might get problems that way. Did you ask Flipsky?

I did, here is the conversation.

Me: "Could you please provide an HFI setup video for the 75200 V2.0 Pro?"

FlipSky support: "This needs to be set up based on various conditions, devices,environments,etc. This HFI function is relatively complex, and we have not tested it, therefore we cannot provide a tutorial video for you. So sorry about that."

Any good advice for a ESC running VESC that is fully supported/blessed by the VESC community?  I am learning as I go and realizing the FlipSky 75200 Pro V2 ESC is kinda junky.  I don't want to waste a bunch of time on an junky ESC when I could just spend a little more money and have a proper ESC running VESC and supporting HFI with the current firmware.

My power requirements are 15S batteries, around 100A continuous power draw.

Check Trampaboards website. Vesc 6 75 might be a bit too weak in your case. The 75300 might be a bit oversized.

VESC6 75 Ratings "60 Amps Continuous, 120 Amps Max"

Just a bit too weak.  I was on the water yesterday and pulling a constant 100a when heading back to the docks.  I will keep an eye out for a used VESC 6 75.  If I can get it for cheap, I don't mind the limitations.
