Hoverboard Motor with VESC

Submitted by mados73 on Wed, 2018-03-21 22:14

Hello everyone. Are there settings to begin with to control a 350 watt hoverboard motor with a VESC? The motor has 27 stator poles with 30 magnets, it's sensored with hall effect bipolar latched sensors. from previous posts I understand that I should post screenshots with the settings I have been working with, but I have veered so far off course that I think it's best to check for settings to start with (as my settings may have zero logic in them). Many thanks!

Can motor parameters be detected with shaft load?

Submitted by powerlabor001 on Thu, 2018-03-15 13:24

Now i want to test Vesc in a hybrid power system, the motor is attached to a small gasoline engine, and it is difficult to detached the motor, so i want to know can i do the motor parameters identification in this mode (with the shaft load).

Wating for your answer.

 

Alien Power Systems Hall Sensors with VESC6

Submitted by lazerusrm on Tue, 2018-03-13 02:52

I have two alien power 80mm motors running in FOC.

I have hooked the sensors up and checked that i can rotate the motor slowly and get 5v on the different hall sensors between the +5V and phase hall sensors, but I've read I should get voltage from hall sensor to ground, can I not operate in this way??

It WILL NOT detect the motor hall sensors in BLDC or FOC mode, and i'm pretty sure i've hooked upeverything right, since i do get output on the sensors when probed with a volt meter.

what the heck am i doing wrong!?

 

how to stop regenerative braking option ?

Submitted by tauhid.ann on Mon, 2018-03-12 18:40

hello everyone i am tauhid from Bangladesh. i have brought a vesc and using it for my Ebike . Now i am having some issues with regenrative braking option as it stopping my bike so quickly that one day my motor mount get stucked in spok . how can i stop this option and let my motor spin freely with wheel after i release my throttle. i am using a 3 pin throttle and using duty cycle mode . min voltage .06  and max voltage 2.60. i dont understand this parameter very good. what can i do to stop this braking option ?

 

VESC API?

Submitted by ufechner on Sun, 2018-03-11 14:05

Hello,

I am Uwe from Den Haag, working on Wind Drones (aenarete.eu).

Is there a documentation of the VESC API (application programming interface)?

I would like to control the set speed of a VESC, operating in speed control mode and log the actual speed,
motor current, battery voltage, battery current and duty cycle.

How to read MotorRPM from UART to Arduino

Submitted by azobe on Thu, 2018-03-08 14:42

Hi everyone, 

I've been struggling with how to read my BLDC motor RPM from my VESC 4.12 (hardware version) over UART serial onto my Arduino Micro. I installed both RollingGecko's VESC Uart Control Library as well as R0b0shack's VESC uart control library, yet I cannot figure out how to simply extract motor RPM from the serial feed from the VESC, assign it to a variable, and use that variable in my own function.
