VESC6 Beta

Hi,

I've loaded my motor with my dummyload so that a torque is required to perform startup.

When I command 90A of motor current, the motor remains stalled. Shoving the rotor results in the motor running leisurely at "only" 35A. IMHO, the VESC6 should be able to startup this motor from standstill in sensored mode. What do you think?

The load is not quite perfect at "constant torque" but pretty reasonable. The torque required to get things running (my shove) in this situation is quite small.

Hello all,

I am trying to setup my vescs with an RC receiver. However, they don't seem to be providing 5v to the receiver. Only 0.9, when measured both with the receiver, plugged in and not. Is there something I have to activate in the settings?

Thanks!

I tried foc_openloop, and it did not work. It looks as if after a tenth of a second, a fault occurs or something like that. But no fault is registered.

Can sombody with the VESC6 on the bench reproduce this? Enable FOC Mode, and type foc_openloop 2 60 into the "terminal" tab?

Hi, yesterday I was fiddling arround with different VESC SIX settings, and after my crash on caster board (with chinese esc) I wanted to set up timeout brake on my moutainboard. Bun unfortunately for me this option does not seem to work for me. I have benchwheel remote setup, dual VESCs with ppm input connected to master, slave via CAN. After I turn off remote while spinning motors at max throttle the VESCs spin motors for like 3-5 more seconds, then they slowly stop.

Hi i Hope i dont kill one Vesc.

I Spoke with Roman from metr.at and he Said Vesc6 Works, only i Must change two pins rx and tx. So i do and connect the metr doggle with the Master Vesc .
I connect the Vesc with the Tool change ppm to ppm and uart and i Looking for the right frequenz. Everything fine. Restart the Vesc, the red LED switch on. I Switch the Vesc of, disconnected the metr doggle and restart the Vesc. Only the Blue LED light is on and the Vesc does not react. I cant connect the Vesc with the PC, nothing. I Hope for help.

Hi, has anyone tried this its under motor settings, general "invert motor direction" it doesn't work for me so had to swap phase wires over and do a motor detection again and all ok. the help section says this option is so you don't have to swap the phase wires over. Benjamin this is not a moan, just trying to give feed back on an amazing piece of Hardware/Software. I'm using Vesc Tool on Windows 10 dual booting on a Mac.

Hi,

The heatsink has M5 threaded holes I assumed to allow it to be mounted neatly, however the PCB doesn't allow an M5 bolt to pass through the holes meaning you can't mount the VESC on stand-offs with the connectors facing the neck and the heatsink facing away from the deck where it would get better cooling and protect the connectors.

Is there enough clearance around these holes to allow them to be widened to allow an M5 bolt to pass through? Maybe in the production release?

Thanks,

Neil.

Foc over the Wizard without Problems. I Ride 7km without any problems. The temperature of the vescs and the motors was Cold, incl. 25 degree hill. The roll on is very Smooth and Regen break works too.
The following Video say more than Words, hear the Sound of silence.? i get Closer to the motors to hear the Voice.

Hey guys,

Hi folks :-)

So I have been working on a custom remote for the past week, planning to use the built-in NRF24-module on the VESC 6.4. However I have no idea, of where to start. I have tried using the "Input Setup Wizard" in the VESC-tool, however it can't seem to pair with my custom NRF-remote. Does anyone know how to set a nrf24l01 in this so-called "pairing mode"? I haven't been able to find any examples online, not even an Arduino-example.
