General discussion

Hello and thank you for setting up this place, i am a keen mountain boarder and have got into the e skate scene not so long ago so have a few VESC components. I am also currently a student in a university doing a computer science degree, i understand your software is open source and would love to contribute something to the VESC to gain some experience (plus i enjoy that kind of thing!). How would i go about this though? I've never really used Github so only really understand downloading bits off there, would really like to contribute if i could.

In the EU bicycles with electric support (pedelec) are allowed without an insurance and license plate under three conditions:

I have an older VESC without internal IMU, and I am building a one wheel. I really want a Bluetooth connection.

I was thinking about:

Hello everybody, I'm running a Segway project right now. I would like to drive two brushed DC motors (450 watts and 9. 7 Nm) with the motor controllers FSESC 4. 12. With the Arduino code set_current I set the current to 7 A. The motor controllers also convert this set current. (7A and duty cycle of 19%). Hardware: FSESC 4. 12, Firmware 3. 62 VESC Tool Stand 1. 25

I know that it is possible to connect any DC source to minus battery and plus to any motor phase. Then it is possible to use controller as CC CV regulator using motor inductance to control current.

It is already done in these controllers https://nucular.tech/

Is it possible with Vesc hardware?

Hello guys...

I have a little issue and I hope somebody helps me.

Reposting in this forum because it is more active.

Here from the firmware update video for an underwater scooter. How does an firmware update make a motor quieter? You guys are magicians. Would love to know the physics behind it. 

Hello!

I'm studying feasibility for a project.  Please forgive me for being new here and not knowing all the things yet.

I'm interested in controlling four Rewinch motors (VESC-based) from a central source.  What's the best way to go about this? 

Hello,

does anyone know how to update the firmware on the VESC using the CAN bus. I'm using the UAVCAN protocol on the VESC.

Thanks.
