Motor "sticks" and stops spinning

Submitted by flagoworld on Fri, 2025-12-05 19:03

Hi,

 

I have a 90mm outboard puck motor and an AS5048A encoder. Fresh install and setup. Seeing encoder pulses as expected.

I set duty cycle to some value and press >. Sometimes it will spin as expected, sometimes not. It will randomly "stick" in a position and hold it as if i am telling it to go to an angle instead of rotate. If I try to spin the motor by force, it springs back.

Running motors under 900ERPM in speed control

Submitted by Chieflouis01 on Thu, 2025-11-27 21:32

Hey guys, 

this is my first post here. Up until now I always was just a quiet reader.

my question is as follows. Currently I run a big outrunner motor (watercooled and hall-sensored) with my MakerX G300 on my Dyno.
However there is the following problem that must be a software issue: whenever I run the motor over the tool under 900ERPM in speed control mode it cuts out aka the VESC goes into braking-mode and stops the motor immediately.

when set to 900ERPM the motor runs fine and when I apply a load there is no issue. Puts on full torque.

hey guys please help, fell like abit of a nube but.i cant get my ft60bd to connect to the tool.it reads it but then comes up with a not conneted bubble.if someone could point we right thread ill o u big time .thanks in advanced 

VESC to spin motor after power up?

Submitted by A_Baum92881 on Fri, 2025-10-31 06:01

Hello VESC fam!

I'm working on a project were I have a potentiometer wired up to the VESC.  The potentiometer part works wonderfully under control type - Duty Cycle.  The part that I'm struggling a bit with is being able to power on the VESC with the potentiometer left in a position other than 0.0V...say 0.50V or 1.123V and have the motor ramp/fire up automatically.  Currently the VESC requires me to reset the potentiometer back to 0.0V and then manually ramp back up to the desired setting.

Vesc boost charging with external inductors

Submitted by Bunda on Wed, 2025-10-29 08:37

Hi, 
I am wondering if someone have tried to use boost charging through VESC but instead of motor to use external inductors?
Also at his github issue https://github.com/vedderb/vesc_tool/issues/141 , Benjamin told to disconnect middle phase wire, 
so current reading will reflect consumption from power source. Is this case we loose one  phase  winding, but how then boost converter is working ?

Hall sensor port repeatedly fried on original hardware

Submitted by Rc 44 on Fri, 2025-10-24 22:44

My setup is running dual Trampa Vesc 6 (first version without phase filters), which are driving two Flipsky 6374 140kV motors. 
 

I've been having issues with the hall sensor pins on the Vesc STM32 frying multiple times, with a ~100ohm short to ground. I've confirmed it's the not the board itself since the short disappears after replacing the MCU. 
 

FOC detection.

Submitted by Roger Wolff on Tue, 2025-10-21 19:57

HI, 

I again have a motor that VESC-tool will not lambda-detect at all. ben b

I've configured it as BLDC. I have a 1A 12V powersupply for now, so I tell it to go at 0.5A motor current and... voila! there it goes. Somehow, the dutycycle does not go up to 95% as I expected, but lets ignore that for now. It runs. 

Next I want to reduce noise, ans get FOC to work. So detect RL and I get 26mOhm and 16 uH. Good. And then... no mater what I try: I can't get it to turn during the lambda-detection. So I have no clue what the lambda is.
