The AS5047 encoder has 14 bits which means each revolution has 16,384 counts or the angular resolution is 0.02 degrees. Is this same resolution achievable by the motor as well? What are the limiting factors for motor position accuracy?
Hello,
I'm considering buying a VESC 6, but i would like to make sure that I can still use an AS5047 encoder using the hardware spi pins instead of the sensor port, (like I'm currently doing with VESC 4.12).
Can anyone please confirm me that this option is still available in the VESC 6 ?
Thank you very much
Why is the PPM port on the vesc not able to decode PPM, and instead only works with PWM? It is very unclear if PPM is actually supported.
hi
looking for some help with using a hub motor on my electric scooter.
its a new motor from a mini motors dualtron ultra ,rated at 2700w 60v max brought from a dealer on aliexpress.
paired it up to vesc fine all detections ok running it at 50v lipo . on the bench it runs nice and quiet but in use it has very low torque and will not draw the power commanded of it
Hello,
I am part of a team, which is working on an autonomous RC-Car. Im trying to figure out, if we should use a brushed or brushless motor. The car we are using is the MIT-Racecar. It comes with an VESC 4.12 and a sensorless brushless motor. The problem we are facing is the control at start up and low speeds.
I was wondering if BLDC mode or FOC mode is better for motor startup in terms of least cogging and most torque. Which settings can be tweaked (in either mode) to reduce the cogging on startup and increase torque.
Thanks
Hello,
I recently bought a flipsky FSESC6.6 and when configuring with a hall sensor based throttle the software only registered the noise. It would alternate between 1.44-1.47 volts and have no response to the input of the ebike controller. I have tested the pins on the vesc and they are providing the 5V needed. I have also tested the ebike throttle and it returns a 0-5V range, also tested this with the AnalogReadSerial Function in arduino. Any help is appreciated.
Hi all
I tried to get further with my bike motor and the VESC I'm planning to use.
The motor (MagicPie3) is a 63Slots:54poles +latching HALLs and is quite a heavy weight with 9kg Hub only (12kg complete). The VESC is a standard 4.12; Testing PSU is a EA-PSI 9080-120 (80V/120A max.).
The autodetect of HALL works without interfering, Motor in FOC is as I'd say OK (eRPM down to 150 because of the weight I guess), blockcommutation is reporting an error about failing when tried.
Hi,
I am building a boat trolling motor (VESC 4.12 Maytech, SK3 6374 192kV, starter gearbox, Pb accus) and I would like to control speed with a "e-boat" indexed throttle. I thought about using a rotary switch like https://uk.farnell.com/lorlin/ck1049/switch-1-pole-12-pos-0-15a-250v/dp/... with various resistors. In the ADC Mapping I would set the center so there would be 8 forward and 3 reverse.
