VESC development is moving quickly, and more people are getting involved, both developers and users. Until now I have been doing all testing myself on my ebike, scooter, longboard and mountainboard for every new firmware release, but  it is becoming more difficult to catch all corner cases of different setups. Many people also use VESC-based hardware on rather dangerous setups (which I don't recommend, be safe!), so I want to do everything I can to make firmware releases as safe as possible.

I'm so new to this. Question about the G4 series capabilities

Submitted by betacyth on Fri, 2022-08-05 19:51

Its totally possible this in the worng place. LMK.

So I found an MCU and Driver combo that claims to be able operate 2 motors independently when you put an accompanying independent 2nd driver on the board. It uses the G4 series (the same I've noticed on Flipsky 4.20 boards). Is it possible to run both motors using both hall sensors for FOC operation at full 4.20 spec?

use SWDIO and SWCLK as normal GPIO ?

I am trying to setup a PAS to use SWDIO and SWCLK on a Flipsky 75100 (5.03 branch). Is this something possible? or these pins are reserved only for reprogramminig? I believe I should be using:

 

#define HW_PAS1_PORT            GPIOA
#define HW_PAS1_PIN                15
#define HW_PAS2_PORT            GPIOB
#define HW_PAS2_PIN                3

 

right? what is the best way to debug it to make sure the signals are actually being read?

Thanks!

 

Migrate to STM32H7

Submitted by ERG on Sun, 2022-06-19 19:35

Im currently having some issues with my FOC. Anyway I think part of the reason is the limited capabilities of my chines analog signal preparation as well as the "limited" ADC performance of the STM32H4.

 

Since the ADC performance is massively improved in the H7 compared to the F4 (mostly: internal calibration now involves compensation of non linearity of the ADC) - and the difference in pricing is low, I think it would be smart to think about porting the VESC to the H7.

 

[SOLVED] trying to get the new release version 5.03 but when I order the free version, the linux release version doesn't show up

Hello,

I am trying to use the latest stable fw release 5.03 on Ubuntu but when I order the free version of the vesc tool, under "Purchased Files" I only get the "vesc_tool_mac.zip" and the "...BETA_ALL.zip" which are already including the 6.0 fw beta build. Shouldn't I also be able to download the stable 5.03 fw version for linux?

Thanks!

Add support for AS5x47U encoder

Submitted by ZachOB on Wed, 2022-04-27 00:50

I've been working to add support for AMS's AS5147U magnetic encoder.

It is similar to the already supported AS504x, but has internal redundancies and diagnostics allowing it to meet ISO26262 ASIL-D safety requirements. This includes an 8 bit crc on each message for integrity verification and internal diagnostics to hall sensor failures.
