Welding with the VESC

Submitted by doomy1986 on Mon, 2020-04-13 14:38

Hi there,

 

I tought about other usefull stuff that could be possible with a high power controller.

What about DC or AC welding? Would that work if the software existed?

Another nice thing would be a high power regulated DC power supply, it probably just needs some smoothing at the output.

 

What do you think?

Can't receive status message via CAN bus

Submitted by IanG on Mon, 2020-04-13 03:50

I am using V6.6 and FW4.2, everything works good. And I am trying to control via Can bus, I know how to set RPM, Current, Duty cycle and Position.

In the test last week, I suddenly can not receive the status broadcast after I burned new FW4.2 which I modified, the strange thing is I also can not receive it when I burned the original FW4.2.

In the past test, I always can receive Four Messages after I powered on the VESC, and there are: 000009XX  000010XX  00000EXX 00000FXX.

Is the Vesc 5 mkIII capable of 13s li-Ion (fully charged 54,6V)

Submitted by Pelle on Sun, 2020-04-12 12:09

hello fellow enthusiasts, I would love a awnser to this simple question

is the Vesc 6 MKIII  capable of being powered by a 13s li-Ion battery with a maximum voltage of 54,6V (13*4,2V) ?

I am going to build a electric outboard with it, the extra rpm and power would be usefull and it would help me not needing to buy the vesc 75/300 and maximally using the vesc 6 mkIII

best regards, Pelle

 

my English might not be the best, it is not my first language, sorry for that.

Delayed start for slave motor

Submitted by rsknudsen-dk on Mon, 2020-04-06 10:06

Hi All, newbie here.



I currently using a VESC based controller to re-animate a Husqvarna Akku rider lawn-mover.

It has 2 900W motors for the cutting-board.

I aware of doing a master-slave setup, so that i control both motors with the same controls. 

However, it would be great if i could delay the start of either master or slave with 2-3 seconds, to even the current needed from the batteries during startup.

Can this be done somehow?



Best regards

Lars, Denmark.
