General discussion

Hi knowledageable people. I'm very very new to this and trying to get my head around a plan for a DIY electric outboard, using a flipsky 75100, and incorporating a standard ebike throttle, a reverse button, a cruise button, a killswitch, and a uart bluetooth dongle for app control.

My plan is to use ADC1 for the throttle, and hopefully connect the bluetooth dongle to UART 2 to keep it out of the way. 

Hey guys looking for some help here. I have a thumb wheel throttle that does Regen braking when rolled backwards that I normally setup current no reverse brake center. I also want my hand brake levers that have a motor cutoff switch to work . Is it possible to do this? I don't want them tied to Regen or anything just to cut the motor when opened , as they are normally closed . In addition is it possible to power and turn on the brake lights with the vesc?

Hey, I am sure you get this question alot but i cant seem to figure it out myself.

I have 2 VESC's hooked up via CAN and am trying to get smart reverse working like it was a couple days ago. One day I changed the motor current settings I think and now smart reverse doesn't work.

I've posted here a few times to get zero responses -- ever.  While some new posts that are just a couple of hours old will quickly get at least one response.

Any tips or guides on setting up a 100/250 for a large BLDC motor such as the ME1616?  For use in a full-size electric motorcycle.

Hi everyone,

I have recently come across a concern on my current project. We are building a drift trike and have attached an ADC throttle to the VESC. This throttle is just to accelerate and does not have a brake but we have a manual brake. There are also no buttons which allow things such as cruise control, reverse etc, its just a simple push down to accelerate throttle. Good to note that it is also a 3 pin throttle.

Hi VESC forum,

I've ordered a small VESC EDU to experiment a bit with some motion control applications on the VESC. I have a bit of a background in motion control, so I'm curious about the potential of this platform. In experimenting I've come accros some strange glitches, which I can't really explain. So I was wondering if anyone else has an idea what I might be doing wrong :), or maybe someone can replicate the same behaviour?

We have been using the VESC6 for the past few years for robotics drive systems using AMT102V. Recently we have seen AS5047P also being used in absolute mode. We are using the TMotor R100 with an average velocity of 1200RPM in our use. We wanted to know which one would be beneficial for us for precise velocity control, an incremental encoder like AMT102 or an absolute one like AS5047P in regards to VESC.

Hi,

I am trying to port VESC firmware on STML4 controller with more recent version of ChibiOs.

I am using STM with frequency of 120MHz with one ADC which can work on 120MHz,  I am using only foc control and have an issue with current control and current measurements.

When I try to start motor with current control current is constantly increasing until ABS_OVER_CURRENT fault is triggered, also when I start motor with duty control and turn on real time data motor current is fluctuating a lot.

My team is currently using the new VESC hardware at UC San Diego for autonomous vehicles. We're collecting training data by driving around a track with donkeysim, and we've been running into this issue when attempting to make turns from time to time. This is the error that comes up when the donkeycar software crashes.
