General discussion

The "detect BLDC parameters" feature works great when I don't have the hall sensors plugged in.

... but then I plug in the hall sensor (6 pin connector at the top of the board) and now the motor won't spin up. It doesn't even twitch.

I tried playing with the duty cycle, the amperage, and the ERPM... but I can't get the motor to move at all while the hall sensors are plugged in. Just says "detection failed" after about 5-10 seconds.

i am running a vesc 6 on a scooter with a 4kw  motor with 12 s lipo .i have have battery and motor amps maxed out and the motor still will not pull more than 3kw.

and i have a problem when i do a full throttle run there is a 3 second gap before the motor starts to slow down,like the vesc is holding on the throttle after i let go of it

and have to jab the regen brake to make it slow sooner .

thanks

Hello,

Thought to share my project here :) 

3D Printed Nvidia Jetson TX2 based robotic lawnmower running VESC for drive system.

The project has come a good way and I'm starting to post from where the project is today.

All parts for the drive system is completed. 
Some parts will be welded together and then the assembly will begin next week!

I use the motor T-Motor MN4014 http://www.helipal.com/t-motor-mn4014-high-power-brushless-motor-400kv.h...

This motor has 24 magnets. I construct the ropeway and it is important to me to have uniform rotation from the minimum turns to maximum.

I use the mode a Duty cycle. The motor rotates not exactly, turns float. My encoder 5048 works well. It is visible on graphics at rotation of the motor a hand.

Hello,

I've been using a Vesc (HW v4.12) for some time now, it worked really well with a brushless motor with HALL sensors.

 I recently decided to change the motor and use a smaller one (also with Hall sensors), but it doesn't work very well.

Tried to send a message with a $ in it and it breaks quite spectacularly!

Hi,

I'm using a sensored 200KV motor for my project, controlling the RPM over UART with the VESC in FOC mode. One of my objectives is to get smooth, jerk free, acceleration.  I'm noticing a little jerk when the motor starts to move, even at the minimal RPM (which for my motor seems to be at 900 RPM). When I use the VESC tool I can avoid that little jerk when I use a very low Duty (0.02), instead of the minimal RPM. 

Hi Everyone, 

For the VESC4.12, How to make VESC 4.12 can work with 14S batteries? if just change the components of VESC4.12 BOM, is it can work with 14S batteries?

I have change the components of VESC4.12 BOM to make sure that they are can support 14S, then test it, but it can't work. 

Thanks

Ken
