Projects incorporating VESC technology

Hi, folks,

I have build a generator about 5HP.

try to put it on a 3.2m long drone.

I can get about 1500W~2000W from the engine on the ground.

use app control, "ADC1" with "current no reverse brake center".

so far so good.

here is the question, under "UAVCAN Raw Throttle Mode".

which mode should I use?  (to get the same result on the ground)

1. Current Control

haven't try yet.

free run, not smooth. and shaking heavily.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project that requires sending separate throttle signals to two different motors via Bluetooth. I need full bidirectional control of each motor's throttle independently to enable tank-style turning (where motors can rotate in opposite directions). I'm using the MakerX MBoards DV4S ESC with a Bluetooth module.

My current setup:

• Successfully tested sending PPM signals from a Raspberry Pi directly to each ESC

• Now trying to:

  1. Send commands over Bluetooth

Hey there,

Warning, i'm a beginner at this so keep that in mind.

First attempt was to decode the CAN and work with someone to build a controller to control this unit, that became near impossible so i went with what i thought i could do.

Wired in (yes its ulgy for now) a 75200 pro, and behold its working! Not great, but for having less then an hour into this its a good start.

Problems im currently having is max speed, speed variation etc.

Feel free to chime in, chastise me, etc

I’m working on a project that involves controlling two motors independently on an electric trolley using VESC controllers.

How do I set it up?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a project where I need to control two motors independently using a Raspberry Pi 4b, and I could really use some guidance to avoid frying anything!

Hi, new here so I apologize if I selected the wrong forum topic, correct me if I'm wrong. 

So I have a 3000w Hub motor thats on a Motorbike/scooter, stock the have whats described as a " duel mode Motor" it comes with two standard controllers that run the 6 Phase wires and teh hall sensors are split providing the same info to both controllers. It runs fine with one controller on either set of phase wires but to unlock the 227lbs or torque I need two running. 

Does anyone have any idea whats causing this, when i press the throttle the wheels just jerk back and forth.?

When I run the motor setup wizard the wheels spin perfectly forward and backwards, subsequently, when I do the throttle setup wizard it registers perfectly and detects the throttle input. After saving all the settings and i press the throttle the wheels just jerks back and forth.

For context I'm doing a power wheels build, I've upgraded the throttle, batteries and motors along with the FlipSky 75100 Pro VESC controller. 

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using an ESP32 to control my VESC motor controller. I am trying to connect my ESP32 to a VESC motor controller using UART2. I have already tried using the RollingGecko, SolidGeek, and Peemouse libraries for UART control, but nothing seems to work. We have tested our motor using the VESCtool keyboard controls, and it spins perfectly with 3A of power. However, when trying to use the Arduino IDE, it was not able to communicate with the VESC.

Hey guys,

Hello, I'm relatively new to VESC and CAN, but I need a way to communicate to my VESC6 using an esp32.

My idea is using CAN to communicate and using Lisp to implement the stuff I need (like cruise control, emergency stopping and eventually full self-driving).

For now, my setup is:

• VESC6

• BLDC

• Esp32

• TJA1051 (a can transciver)

I was able to put 2 esp32 communicating with can with the following code and with 2 120ohm resistors:
