Issues using vesc for Gimbal Motor iPower GM5208-24

Submitted by marcnyffenegger on Fri, 2026-05-15 15:18

Hello,

I am trying to get the Gimbal Motor iPower GM5208-24 running using Flipsky Mini FSESC6.7 PRO.

Motor: https://iflight-rc.eu/de-de/products/ipower-gm5208-24-gimbal-motor

Flipsky: https://flipsky.net/products/mini-fsesc6-7-pro-70a

Vesc Tool: 6.06

I am using a regular 24V power supply (90W) instead of batteries, but i assume this shouldnt be a problem?

Duty Cycle with brake switch and PAS

Submitted by m620 on Tue, 2026-04-28 03:50

Hi, I have an ebike with a mid drive motor running a custom made VESC controller with working torque sensor and throttle. I have it running on throttle in current mode with high phase amp but find throttle to jerky on rough trail . Tried Duty cycle mode and its way better feeling at throttle. The only problem in Duty Cycle mode there's not brake switch program for adc2. Also in Duty Cycle I can only make the throttle work or the PAS torque sensor work but not both, either one or the other? Is there a setting that I'm missing or a lip scrip that would work? Thanks!!!

Field weakening in reverse?

Submitted by Toymanfrank on Wed, 2026-04-15 04:40

Does field weakening apply to both directions of rotation? I am experimenting with a Hoverboard motor and field weakening works very well in Fwd (+ Duty Cycle) direction(I do have invert motor direction ticked). With my testing so far, I have not been able to get any changes in Erpm while running the motor(unloaded) in Rev(- Duty Cycle). Firmware 6.05. Hardware 4.12.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Quiescent Current with FOC and PID

Submitted by twald on Mon, 2026-03-23 03:37

Hi,
I am using a VESC controller on an e-bike with only a hand throttle input. have a PID set up to automatically brake when the throttle is released. 
The trike is used for short runs, then rests for extended periods. I don't want to bother with switching on/off the key, as it is unnecessary and a nuisance. The system works fine with the exception that the battery life is less than ideal, due to the controller not shutting down.

ABI maximum speed

Submitted by liran vigdor on Fri, 2026-03-20 17:00

Hi I have a motor with ABI encoder 16384 ticks (4096 pulses ) per rotation, when rotating at >3000RPM I see the internal counter is unable to count the ticks and after a some time the motor looses counts and then the FOC is dead (since the phase shift is wrong),

I see the pulses loose clearly when looking at the real-time data of the encoder , after some turns , I return to the same position of the motor but the encoder is off by some large angle.

what is the maximum rate of the ABI counter ? 

Dultron X2 UP

Submitted by timgunn5555 on Wed, 2026-03-18 02:34

Hi All, so i have a Dualtron X2 UP and changed to Flipsky 75100 v2 pro controller ran through the set up wizards and its working ok.

The only thing is its very slow to take off and has little power but does accelerate to higher speed but takes its time, im not sure about phase amps and all the other stuff.

looking for advice on settings for this scooter, i cant find anything and have been searching for weeks.

Im also very new to VESC

Cheers Tim

mini fsesc4.20 help

Submitted by bravo29 on Mon, 2026-03-16 17:14

Question sort of new to this

 

I have 2 FLIPSKY Electric Speed Controller for Skateboard Mini FSESC4.20 50A that are meant to control 2 LRunner Brushless 24V motors.

Power is 2 in series 12v 10Ah batteries for 24V.

My issue is this

If I connect the Flipsky to power pole with 24V they power and stay on. If I go though setup as soon ad detection starts I get disconnected and get a red error box

Serial port error: The operation I/O has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request
