Strange braking-issue and high currents

Hey there!

When Im using FOC-Mode with my Turnigy Propdrive 6374 it accelerates very well and drives smooth and fine but on rapid braking I get a cut-off.

It only happens on rough braking at middle speeds. After reading my fault-codes I got this: (and am a little worried about the -279A oO This cant be true I guess!?)

Ive read about adding another capacitor to C18... Anyone knows if that helps? Doubling the Observer gain just made it worse.. Im not sure if reducing it to half (10%) is a good Idea?

Thanks for any help!

Hi

the current is the phase current afaik and therefore far from the RMS current which is mostly interesting.Do you use Regen Braking? As the internal (=measured) current is normally only increased with caps (but helps with stabilizing the battery+VESC itself). I'd check if not the measures Ri of your settings are problematic. In a few of my threads I mentioned my startup problem and the adjusting problems as Ri was far from the real value in my first setups. With a lot of tests I defined a middle value and since then my overcurrent problems were solved.

Cheers

Sam

Thanks for your answer!
I do use regenerative braking...
Hobbyking says that the internal resistance of the Motor is about 0,016 Ohm VESC-Tool reads about 11,4mOhm. How dangerous is it to adjust the value?
After replacing the battery with a fresh one I experienced the start-problem even in BLDC.. By giving too much current, the motor just stalls and freewheels... but why? I don't trust this board anymore :(

 

Trying to get bluetooth to work but even with a HC-05 or HC-06 that isnt working either.... Is there something I am missing?
