General discussion

I am new to VESC and I am trying to better understand the regenerative braking algorithm when Control type = Current No Reverse With Brake.  I believe that when this mode is set and the PPM input is less than the center the controller will give a current set point proportional to the PPM position.  The braking force is then proportional to the current set point times the motor torque constant.  I assume that the algorithm is controlling the PWM duty cycle to achieve that but is the voltage regulated somehow?

Hello, I checked all the arduino library available on github for VESC, and I don't find one with read motor temp or mosfet temp command.

Can anyone help me?

Hello,

I'm testing VESC on robot, and I need to drive one servo regarding current.

I need to add simple script to do that.

It's shame to must use another electronic to do this simple task.

Can you add or tell me how to do that?

Thank you so much for your help.

Can anyone point me at the direction where to find information how to wire (and configure) the a BLDC with TS5700N850 TS5700N8501 encoder to VESC !

here are the electrical connections from the Spec. sheet:

Hello everyone,
I'm involved  in a university research project, where we aim to teach an autonomous rc vehicle to drift. We have already made some progress, as can be seen here: 

I've hooked up a VESC 6 to a Xiaomi M365 hub motor and I'm getting good FOC control so far.

I connected the M365 throttle control to ADC1 and I have good mapping 0-100, using current control setting. I'm wondering though if there is a setting which applies regen braking when I let off the throttle, similar to original M365 regen, or similar to Tesla accelerator pedal.

Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere. Thanks for any help.

Hi

Wonder if someone could tell me if these are reliable thinking about getting 2 single ones, it's these or

Tourqboards as they are prices very well and seem to work well. 

Thank you 

I am using a vesc in my go kart and when I reach my top speed, the motor cuts out and only restarts when I release and then press on the gas. I would like the vesc to only cut out long enough for the speed to drop a little and maintain the top speed somewhat like a car's rev limiter. Is this possible?

Thanks for your responses, Ryan.

I am replacing the diesel engine in a 1 ton, 100-year old 7.2 meter wooden motorboat with an electric motor. Blog here. I have ordered the batteries, but not motor or controller yet.

Hi,

I am trying to get my brushless DC motor running smoothly in FOC mode. The motor parameter detection runs swimmingly, with the resistance detected and the spindle spinning up smoothly during the flux linkage detection. However after applying these motor settings, when setting the device to run at any speed, the spindle spins erratically in both directions not even making a full revolution. I've got a video below showing what's happening:
