The VESC-Project

Hi guys,

There doesn't seem to be a Mac OSX version of the new VESC 6 release... any plans for this?

First, I can't stop to thank Benjamin.

I started a couple of years ago to dig into VESC world and this brang me a LOOOT of knowledge.

As a basic Arduino project, I know discover the "adult"world with STM chips and coding using only Notepad++ (Atom in my case) and command lines in the terminal.

I'm also very impressed by Benjamin's talent when I came to modify VESC Tool. This is a piece of art.

Everything has been designed to be flexible, modifiable, very easily.

Some people had difficulties to get access to modified sources in the recent past, or the GPL license contract has not been delivered, or a device didn't come with a statement that is carries OS-firmware, or source code was denied access after requesting it.

No matter if you deal with hardware carrying OS-firmware, or simply downloaded OS-Software:

According to the GPL V3 the sources need to be available, you need to be informed about the fact that OS-Software is involved and you should have got the GPLV3 - license in full text format.

Hi VESC-Project team,

We are a few who are wondering what is the official open source status of the VESC Project.

Is it possible to clarify this ?

Hardware wize : no reference designed published and licensed yet.

On Trampa website, only software is mentioned as Open Source.

On vesc-project.com main page, not easy to figure out what is really what.

Can you give me some advices as I have to shorten and reduce the shaft diameter of a motor?!

It seems that the material used is extremely hard.

Of course I've seen videos that shows to use a plastic bag with tape to prevent iron fillings to be attracted by the magnets.

But what tool to use and how to have a very clean and well done work?!

The shaft is 10mm dia and I have to reduce it to 8mm as precisely as possible.

Original shaft is 10mm +0 -0.007mm!!!

I've been trying to figure out the relationship between this forum and the vedder.se forum? Can anyone explain it?

Happy 30th Birthday Benjamin!

The next 10 years ahead are the best!
