Hello,

I buy 14.5 inch Electric Wheelbarrow Hub Motor kit (48V,500W (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004115893822.html?spm=a2g0o.order_li...)). Together with motor I received driver and throttle which can regulate speed between 20 and 40km/h but I would like have walking speed (around 5 km/h.)

Is it possible to use VESC, MAKERBASE or FLIPSKY speed controller and set speed around 5 km/h and same time max torque? 

this version has native BLE function, how to order it??

please and thank you.

Ive got a makerbase 75100, wired it up and set it up as best I can, I must say I have used all sorts of motor/servo controlers for cnc machines,and this vesc stuff is the worst I have come across for tutorials!!

Anyway, ive got a standard ebike 4.5 v throttle linked to adc1, it works but just like a switch either on or off.

I can only assume its because in the input setup it wont allow you to go above a 3.3 input voltage, the output is 5 volt, how do i get it to accept 5volt input?

Regards

Tony

What firmware can I use on this esc

We recently switched our fleet of robots from running in BLDC mode to FOC mode. In doing so, we noticed that the reported distance from each motor (which reads from the tach value) changed dramatically. In BLDC mode, we noticed a +- 5% difference between any given robot's reported distance (for the same actual distance traveled). once switching to FOC mode, the motors started reporting up to 200% the actual distance traveled.

I'm building a large robot (>100kg) for farming tasks. First usecase will be autonomously raking the sand smooth on a 20x40m riding arena.

It has a 2-wheel rear drive (left+right motors with free swivel wheels at the front) and skid steering / tank steering. I use a dual VESC and an ESP32 for controlling it, steered via bluetooth with a PS3 controller. It works well so far with 2-stick-steering, but now I want to switch to 1-stick steering (Y axis for speed, X axis for steering), in preparation for the following step which will be automomous driving.

Hello VESC Community,

I am trying to configure HFI on a hoverboard motor using a VESC6 MKVI for an application requiring extremely smooth startup with low speed and high torque. Despite following the video tutorial for HFI tuning, I am encountering challenges specific to this motor. Here are the details:

Motor Specifications:

I am doing a vehicle install. I bench tested the system before install, so ADC1 was working with the analog throttle at one point.. But after install ADC1 does not read any input, it stays reading ~.47v. regardless of the input voltage I switched the throttle wipe to ADC2 and the wipe did the full 0-3.3v range, so do not believe this is a throttle or wiring issue. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and were you able to wake up the ADC input. up? Assuming my ADC1 is non-recoverable, is there a way to use an analog throttle on a different input?

Hi there!

I'm trying to configure the following motor:

BLDC with 14 poles, 750KV, here you can see a picture and measurements:
I use it with a 4S 1500mAH LiPo
The motor doesn't have any sensor such as hall sensor
