Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased everything I needed to build my own electric longboard and it turned out to be much more of an undertaking than I expected.
I purchased two Flipsky 6354 190KV motors, a Flipsky 4.2 dual FSESC, a Flipsky VX1 remote, and a 10S4P 10.8 Ah Lithium Ion Battery.
The pulley I have on the wheels is 36 teeth and the pulley I have on the motors is 15 teeth.
Hi,
Hello, Can you help me how to make regenerative braking to Zero x11 scooter? Thank You.
Im currently trying to connect my esc to the wizard on the vesc tool. For some reason the device will not connect. Message reads please connect vesc via usb port and make sure the vesc is powered on. The vesc is powered on I can see the 2 lights glowing, one green, the other blue. So i know the vesc is powered and i plugged in the USB cord and tried all 3 usb ports on my PC to no luck. Same message, about making sure its powered on and usb plugged in. How do i get this esc to connect to my PC? The auto connect doesnt work, non of the connection methods work.
I managed to brake STM32 MCU by over or under voltage to ADC input. I had jumper wires connected to ADC, 3.3V and GND. Touching ADC with soldering station tip broke the MCU.
After the damage I checked the schematic and noticed that there is not any protection for ESD or over-/undervoltage transients.
Would it be possible to add something to next hardware versions? For example zener-diodes and some TVS?
Hi,
I'm using an FSESC4.20 on a mid-drive ebike.
I am building an axle out of two BLDC motors from 20v cordless drill. I purchased a dual Flipsky 4.20 50A FSESC.
I've been able to successfully control each motor independently but not together. At no time has the Vesc tool recognized two motors. I tried several times with the CAN bus switch with no luck. I've tried connecting a CAN Bus cable to both sides but this did nothing. I have a green and blue light on one side and only blue on the other. Now the USB will not let me connect to the side with only the blue light on.
Hello everyone
my name is Clément and unlike the most popular use case for the VESC I want to introduce this awesome project to a new hobby, namely passenger carrying model trains.
At least here in Germany we use a lot of brushed DC motors to drive our locomotives but the resources for usable motors are getting low nowadays.
Therefore, I want to use BLDC motors to create compact and powerful direct drive bogies. The motors that I plan to use are rated from 24V to 48V < 20A0.
hi,
trying to get this working. I have a traxxas rc (summit). the radio receiver outputs pwm but your vesc has ppm input. Also trying to use this with navio2 flight controller hat for raspberry pi microcontroller. it also outputs pwm not ppm. i do have a ppm encoder but i currently have it connected from the radio receiver to the navio2 flight controller hat for raspberry pi microcontroller. i can get another ppm encoder to connect the throttle pwm output from the navio2 to the ppm input of your vesc but will it work if i only use it for the throttle?
Hi,
I'm using a Flipsky FSESC4.20 to drive a bbs02 mid-drive ebike motor. I have the bluetooth module working ok. I'm using adc1 for throttle and servo for a brake/cutoff switch. I have the control type set to 'current no reverse brake button'.
This works as expected when connected to the vesc tool app over BT. But if I power up and don't connect the app then the motor will run away when I apply the throttle. It doesn't respond to releasing the throttle and only stops with the brake switch or if I connect to the app.
