General discussion

I'm trying to connect my MPU6500 sensor to VESC firmware using VESC tool.

I've connected VCC, GND, SCL and SDA lines, then selected "Balance" app in general app settings, finally, I've chosen the IMU_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MPU9X50.

Unfortunately, the "mpu_status" command in VESC Terminal says the "MPU9x50 not found". There is no sensor output.

I can connect to this MPU6050 breakout board using Arduino Nano.

What could be wrong? What am I missing?

I want to apply VESC as a servo controller for a CNC machine. I am sure that many people have already done this.

But I need to control the speed of the servo motor. Because I want to control the position above the level in the brain of the CNC machine.

My problem is that I can’t get the “perfect” speed control at very low speeds. From 1-2 rpm (30-60 ERPM). There are constant fluctuations, which are small in value, but large in% of the assignment (tens of percent).

Hi all,

i have some problems with a 3KW BLDC in my underwater scooter. at the moment the motor is not very efficient. i have maximum current and very poor speed, and the motor gets hot.

one problem may be wrong parameters for FOC or PID (the other problem is the propeller i think :) )

Hello,

i have made several types of vesc library, maybe if someone want to develop own application, this examples can help

Hi.

Maybe i first talk about the setting: Two 13“ (about 255mm) Wheels on each side with a hoover board Motor inside each wheel. A normal ppm remote controller with an Arduino after the receiver for mixing the forward and direction signal. Output of the Arduino is ppm again going to the 2 controller via Y-Cable on each side. VESC setting is PID controller (set RPM) with the standard settings.

How does that power switch on the COMM port of the VESC 6 MK III work? Which cables do I have to use and where do they connect to?

How do you wire one 5V push button power switch to two VESC 6 MIIIs?

I'm guessing you only wire the single power button's 5V and GND to one VESC and then splice the power button's C1 and NC into both VESCs? ...or maybe the GND also gets spliced into both VESC's, or what is the correct way?

Thanks!

I got an error while running vesc_tool_2.00. I downloaded vesc_tool_free_linux.zip on jetson tx2, and tried to run the files, but it failed. Is there any solutions? 

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/vesc-tool$ ./vesc_tool_2.00 

bash: ./vesc_tool_2.00: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/vesc-tool$ sudo bash ./vesc_tool_2.00

./vesc_tool_2.00: ./vesc_tool_2.00: cannot execute binary file

 

Is it possible to access the Vesc terminal over USB with some other application? Some of my users are overwhelmed with Vesc-tool.

Thanks!

As a Trampa ESK8 owner with two VESC 6 MKIII's, I'm interested in enabling the power-on switch and hibernate mode capability...can someone guide me to instructions/manual for setting this up?  I'm aware it would require a 5V switch (any recommendations of existing button switches?) and it looks like MAYBE you connect the switch to the CAN GND and COM Switch but it doesn't really say if that's where the button switch is connected or if you just bridge those to enable the option??  And then how are both the switch and hibernation modes enabled in the firmware?...is there
