VESC6 Beta

Hi all,
My computer is asking for this driver Chibios/RT Virtual Com Port Driver when I connect the v6 to it in vesc tool I can't find this driver download anywhere doe anyone know where to get it.

Hi !

I open this thread to put few inputs about the CNC case.

1. The edges of the input power hole are sharp. With vibration I'm afraid that the silicone of wires will be cut making a short at the end (there is already a mark on mine)

Is it possible to smooth the edge with a fillet or chamfer ?
For the moment I would suggest betas to add a little piece a heatshrink to protect the silicone. ;)

BTW, congrats for this great case, it feels like rock solid !

Hi, is it still just the two centre pins when connecting two vesc 6 over can?

Hi,

When I connect the VESC-6 to vesc-tool I am informed that the VESC has too old firmware and that the tool will only allow firmware update.

When I go to the firmware page I see Hardware version 60 with firmware VESC_default.bin in the two Included Files panes. I go to apply the firmware which it uploads to the device, taking less than 10 seconds and then the VESC disconnects with only the blue power light lit on the VESC. The tool claims fw upload done.

Hi,

I received my VESC-6 today and it looks amazing, such a well produced component it's going to be a shame hiding it away!

I can't find any details on the specific connectors used though, could someone please point me to the brand and pitch of the connectors? Apologies if this is somewhere obvious but I can't find reference to them. As the PPM connector is also one of these it might be worth putting the specifications of the connectors in the manual?

Thanks,

Neil.

Not really sure where to write down the bugs (correct me if desired).

I found a typo:
VESC-Tool Version 0.77 (Windows) -> "Motor settings" -> "Additional info" -> Tab "General" is spelled "Genera".

Welcome to the VESC-Project Beta forum! We hope you all like your VESC SIX and the new Software. If you have any questions, please post them on this forum. We will have a close look at all your questions, remarks and suggestions. VESC-Tool has a fair amount of documentation build in (just click on the ? buttons), but we know questions will arise. Have a good time testing out the Hardware and Software. Always stay on the safe side! Frank

Hey guys,

first of all I am sorry that I unlocked my account on a way that was not intended to use, but now I am here so I should use this forum also to share my observations on VESC Tool. So I used my chance to download the VESC Tool (V0.76) and flashed the new firmware (V3.24) to my second VESC 4.12 (which has the filters of the hall port removed). First of all I must say that the new VESC Tool looks amazing and it should be a lot easier for new users to set up the VESC with the wizards. Great work Benjamin. It was a piece of cake to get my motor running in FOC mode.
