Using the built-in gyro for RC cars

Submitted by maxpla on Fri, 2020-06-26 10:49

Hi folks! My VESC 6 has a built-in gyroscope and I can see the orientation of the VESC in my Android app. Is it possible to use this data for stability control of RC cars?

I would like to detect when the car is doing a wheelie. In this case the ESC should decrease the acceleration so that the car does not back-flip.

Type of motors supported by VESC 6 MKIV

Hello Everybody,

In the VESC 6 MKIV description , it mentioned that the it is able to detect with precision any type of motor including BLDC and DC motors... Is it possible to use an induction AC motor with
this Hw/Tool Firmware ? at least to run it in open loop mode ?
Thank you for your feedback in advance!

Requesting fault codes over UART

I'm currently using the UART continuously to show me my speed, battery remaining, amps drawn...  I do this via bluetooth and display it on an LCD display on my remote.  I also log the values that are returned from a COMM_GET_VALUES command.  My question is this... How can I capture fault codes?  I see there's an "mc_fault_code fault_code;" in the mc_values struct.  Does that mean it will return the most recent fault code?  What if there are multiple faults?  Do I have to clear a fault in order to see the next one in the list?

Thanks very much for any tips.

Is it possible flash this esc with ? (leopard hoby wp 200A)

Hello,

I'm very new in using esc and brushless motors so sorry if questions looks stupid.

 

Is your software can be uploaded in my leopard hoby wp 200A esc ? Because my combo have a very low torque at start and I can't stat my installation with.

The problem is that the advance is not a parameter provided by programation card and it's the issue to up the power start torque (I think but perhasp wrong).

Anyway I thhink your project is cool and I want to manage my esc with computer to manage all paramters possibles.

VESC with really high KV

Submitted by bengce on Sun, 2020-06-21 11:18

Hi,

i got a 2250KV motor, a 3S LiPo battery and a 4.12 VESC. This is for an rc-car so no massive torque is required. Before i start to roll i just want to make sure that this should theoretically work.

These are my specs:
4.12 VESC min V: 3S
4.12 VESC Amp limit: 50A
4.12 VESC ERPM limit: 60,000

Battery voltage: 3S (11.1V) ~12V
Battery Amps: 180A

Motor: 2250KV
Motor Amps: 5.4A without load
Motor magnets: 8
Motor poles: 4 (-> 2 polepairs)
