I am trying to use the VESC 4.12 with the Castle 1406 sensored 4600kv motor and an 18v power tool battery but I can't seem to get it configured for proper BLDC operation. No matter how I adjust the settings the BLDC autodetection doesn't seem to work.
Hi everyone!
The idea is to run a "CityEL" (an old three wheeled electric car weighing ~300kg incl. me and a top speed of 50 km/h) off of a VESC 4.12 I've already got.
Currently it's driven by a brushed motor, and I'd like to replace it with a BLDC motor and a VESC because the brushed motor is heavy, inefficient and very noisy.
Hey Guys
I am mucking around with setting max ERPM to say the equivalent of 20kmh which works great
But when I carve at 20kmh, the outer wheel that would usually spin faster than the inner remains restricted to 20kmh.
So I believe that usually the wheel is allowed to speed up to cover the greater distance of the carve curve.
But in this instance the VESC is very good at not allowing it to go over that speed.
Hi guys
Could anyone tell me what the constant high pitched sound is when you put any current into the motors under load? It's kind of line the sound of lots of cicadas in the bush...
It stops in neutral trigger. Even a slight trigger or brake produces the full sound. The sound doesn't increase with extra current or braking. But is quite loud when riding along on the skateboard.
Dual 100kv 6365s.
Thanks Regards

Hi!
I was wondering where to find some documentation on how to communicate with the VESC to be able to change parameters via an app or a bluetooth device?
Hey all,
Seems like the forum is getting some spam messages as replies to real comments. Is there a way to flag these or should there be one?
Hi everyone,
Does any body have a problem with motor rotation direction? In my case motor spins clockwise in BLDC mode and measuring flux linkage, and counter clockwise in FOC mode.
Thanks,
Martin.
Merry Christmas to everyone out there!
We wish you a relaxed and peaceful time with your family and loved ones.
Best wishes for the upcoming year. Keep up the good skills, stay healthy and bright!

Hi,
is it possible to use 2 motors mechanically connected at the same shaft (each controlled by its own ESC)?
How would the encoder wiring look like and can you estimate the output power as the double of one motor, or do you get more losses (syncing, ringing)?
Due to high amps, heating issues and too low torque I would like to put two motors in parallel.
hi
i am planning to use a vesc6
in a high power scooter project and want to make heavy use of coms port.
adc for throttle, switch for variable regen and bluetooth to monitor speed ect.
from what i have read so far it looks like this might not be possible, as bluetooth uses rx pin but so would the switch for the regen. is this correct?
is there a way to use a spare adc pin for the regen switch ?
thanks
