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?
Hey everybody,
I've looking for a solution to obtain the accel/gyro/mag data from VESC using UART on a linux machine
At the moment I can see needed values using VESC tool in IMU Data using com port, but when I am trying to read this com port without vesc tool - no data at all
I've found several similar subjects in the forum, but no clear answer
Thanks in advance,

I have an ebike hub motor, direct drive, and for some reason the wizard isn't calibrating it correctly. It sounds like a Harly motorcycle engine when running and has no power or speed. I know next to nothing about these types of motors, or electronics for that matter. I've attached some screenshots of my manually and slowly rotating the wheel. I can put ones of it running "full speed" if that's better. From looking at the charts, I suspect something to do with the rotor position or the sensors might be off...
Hello VESC forum!
Hi all
I am trying to control the position of a valve, using a BLDC motor with hall and encoder(A/B) feedback.
The Motor needs to turn 26 revolutions from Closed to Open valve. There is no absolute sensor on the motor, only relative A/B encoder and end-stop, in each outer position of the valve.
I can spin the motor without any problems, but I cannot get position to work, I feel that the documentation is lacking some information about this subject. I see that multiple people got it to work on Youtube, but they are using different sensors.
