disappointed with vesc mk6

Submitted by KCDEF on Mon, 2020-09-28 20:15

I have a robotics project, using 750Kv R/C truck motor that is more than capable of brief bursts to 200amps. The motor has plenty of power for the project but has to overcome very brief starting friction and spikes to 160amps. The Vesc wizard gives the motor a paltry 120amps max, which is a bummer because i purchased the Vesc mk6 for its percieved flexibility. Is there anyway around this? if not does anyone want to buy my vesc? 

VESC Wand shows INF and 100% Batt

Just set up my board for the first time and everything seems to be working great so far.

Only issue that I can see right now is the VESC wand shows INF and 100% on the battery and the plugged in icon is illuminated.

Set up:

VESC 6.4 Dual

Flipsky 6374

Torque Boards 12s4p

VESC wand

66T/15T

150mm wheels

I dont know how to link pictures. I tried linking an imgur but failed.

I have the report from the VESC tool:

motor 1/2

motor current: 65.53/64.34

Motor R: 13.97/ 14.50

Cannot connect to VESC via USB or SWD

Hi,

my VESC (ordered from Trampa) stopped working, basically from one day to another. The Blue LED is on, not the Green one. There is no short between 3v3 and GND. When connecting via USB, there is no notification about a new device (in dmesg, as with any other device and previously also VESC).

Following the advice in many posts, I tried to reflash the firmware using a SWD debugger. I happen to have a Segger JLink which I am using for other projects. But I could neither erase nor reprogram the Chip, due to some unspecified error.

AS5047 Encoder with VESC 4.20

Submitted by rctestflight on Mon, 2020-09-21 19:55

I wasted a day trying to figure this out so I figured I'd post what I learned: 

In order to use a AS5047 encoder with the Flipsky Mini FSESC4.20 (or anything based on VESC 4.12), you need to remove the filters on the encoder inputs.

Understanding Dual VESC (dual motors) setups

Submitted by Cham on Mon, 2020-09-21 18:45

Hello,

When using a dual VESC setup (each VESC controlling one motor each- both motors have identical specs i.e. same model) do the VESCs talk to each other at all? What I am curious to know is whether the two identical motors will be rotating at exactly the same speed or will there be a difference?

Cheers,

Cham

BLDC Variable Speed Trigger for ADC throttle control

Submitted by KCDEF on Mon, 2020-09-21 01:41

I'd like to use a variable speed trigger for brushless dc motors from "omron". Its the type you see on BLDC equipped battery operated drills. https://www.components.omron.com/product-detail?partNumber=C3AW. The datasheet is not super informative. the trigger has 8 cables and a fwd and rev switch. some clues: I know at 2mm of trigger travel you have start voltage of .3v and full speed start voltage 4.8v at total travel or 8.5mm. The trigger is rated to 42vdc.
