Hello everybody! I faced a problem: when I use control type "Duty Cycle" and throttle (control type ADC) has full stop position, driver draw current nearly 0.1A (sometimes generate 0.1A). This current creates holding torque.
But I want to ride free-wheel on my bike. I saw the answer by Benjamin in this topic:
Hey there,
i am running a custom application for an e-bike using Hall signals as well as an ADC input for a Potentiometer.
This is all working great but i want to use UART for a Bluetooth module together with the custom application.
Is there any possibility to start the UART application in the custom application?
Hello,
I am designing a small IPM motor and I need to select a controller for the motor. I am thinking of using VESC® 6 MKIII.
I have a few questions and just want to make sure if VESC is right for me and if it supports everything I need.
I tried to find the answers myself, but not sure if those answers are correct.
Anyhow, I would be grateful if someone can answer to following questions (or to confirm my assumptions):
1) Does the VESC support sensorless FOC with MTPA (maximum torque per ampere) control?
Update 10/25/2023:
3+ years after posting this, I still see people asking about it without a solution in sight, so I bit the bullet and spent a a few hours getting this to work, so I am sure it will be useful for many people that inquired over the years as well.
Hi All,
I’ve seen a few videos and how-to tutorials where people connect to the VESC using a wireless Nyko Kama nunchuk controller (no longer available, unfortunately). Basically, the wireless RF receiver is just plugged into the VESC input port and the VESC tool can be configured to interpret the incoming signal. It looks like the VESC can just automatically understand the input from the nunchuk.
After down loading latest firmware I get a red message on the bottom toolbar saying
Serial port error: The I/O opperation has been aborted eather because a thread exit or an application request.
This prevents me from completing the set up, can anyone help
Cheers Ross
hello guys. im a begginer
I need some help connecting the reverse button on adc and uart
i dont know witch pins to connect on witch plugs
please help
thank you
I'm working on a project in which the VESC will be mounted inside the machine such that the status LEDs can't be seen. I would like to mount my own LEDs on the outside of the machine. Is there a way I can connect my external LEDs to access and display the same information the LEDs on the VESC show? Thanks!

Hi everyone, sorry to be a noob, but I am just exploring options for a VESC-based project and I wanted to double-check to find out of both of the 2 axes on a 2-axis joystick / wii nunchuk style controller are usable with VESC. It's hard to tell from the forums and other videos whether or not people are using both axes on the joystick, or just one.
Can anyone confirm, and offer any advice/suggestions?
