VESC6 Beta

Hi! I finally got all the connectors and wires and got my first build running - hurray! I went through the wizards to get my board up and running.

First my setup: I am using a MacOS with VirtualBox with a Ubuntu environment. 1 GB of RAM is dedicated for this Virtualization. It works quite nice, so I can recommend this method for those of you using MacOS.

I just want to check in and start a thread to check status and get updates on ETA?

I have 2 VESC Six, and 8+ 4.xx VESC's. Would love to have one system to configure them all!

We had an initial ETA of 1 week before 4.xx firmware was released for new VESC Tool. It's been 2-3 weeks now i believe and want to see if we have an updated timeframe?

I know you all are busy, and hope Benjamin is healing up fully from his injury!

Thx All!

Hi,

I have noticed a bug in the vesc 6 firmware. If you use an external nrf module via the comms port, it will not connect to the nrf nunchuck unless you hit "write app conf" in vesc tool.

This is what happens (with the nrf settings already configured).

1. Turn on power to vesc
2. Press button on NRF nunchuck (nothing happens, it doesn't connect)
3. Connect vesc to computer and hit hit "Write App Configuration" in the nrf tag (not changing any values)
4. NRF nunchuck will now connect.

Hey guys,
I am loving the performance so far with my new VESCs! I have had a few ideas for new features so I thought it would be best to start a thread.
Here are my two current ideas:

RPM-Current Mapping
- Define currents at different rpm’s to compensate for high power/high efficiency areas for constant acceleration.
- Graphical interface with add and drag points
- Eventually, an inertia based dyno run and auto compensate option

Hi, yesterday I performed load tests on grass with me sitting on my mountainboard, and tried aggressively applying full throttle from stand still, and after few meters master VESC went dark, slave seems to be fine. My set up is dual VESC SIX via canbus, two sensored EMAX GT5345 170KV motors, set up in sensored FOC, 12S voltage, ppm input and bluetooth dongle was connected to master.

While waiting for my remote and connectors I cannot do much other than using arrow keys :) My testing shows that pressing right or left "kicks" the motor going quite hard while up and down steadily increases RPM. Can someone describe what functions the arrow keys have?

How is the wiring to be connected to the vesc 6 when a simple poti is used to control the power?

Thank you for a hint...

Michael

Hello,

I have been riding my board with two VESCs for a week or so now. I have been very impressed with the improvements especially regarding the lack of faults compared to the VESC 4.12 hardware. However, today I managed to throw an ABS Overcurrent fault by flooring the board while going about 1/2 speed and it almost threw me off. I used to have this happen all the time with the VESC 4.12 but I thought the VESC 6 had it fixed. Anyway, I am using 10s voltage, dual VESC 6, Dual 190kv motors. I pulled the fault info from the terminal.
