ADC pin voltage not zero

Submitted by zoppp on Fri, 2019-02-08 23:44

Hey all, 

Been having and issue with my FOCBOX where my adc pin is reading 1.2v and will not read any throttle inputs. I was using 5v on my throttle, but after learning the ADC input needs 3.3v, I swapped my throttle to 3.3v. The system was working fine for the last week, but I would notice that every so often the pin would read 1.2v, but now pin always fluctuates around 1.2v and does not change with applying throttle. Even with the throttle disconnected, ADC1 and 2 read nonzero values. 

VESC Questions from the newbie

Submitted by mendez on Fri, 2019-02-08 21:13

Hey Guys, I'm new in the forum and I recently purchase a VESC (4.12) and I love it. I have a lot of respect to the creator!

I'm trying to decide if the VESC is a good fit for my application; and I have a few questions:

1. Just to clarify; VESC 6 is compatible with 6V Motors (min)? I can test 2S RC Motors with it?

2. Is there a way to configure the motor via UART?

3. Is there a way to configure the Input Setup via UART?

* I guess I want to be able to configure the motor without using the VESC Tool

Sub zero temperature VESC412 issues

Submitted by jetigm on Fri, 2019-02-08 21:12

Hello,

I have a different, worse startup performance of my setup @ sub zero temperatures. HW - 412, FW - 3.39/3.40, sensorless BLDC mode. I have a specific low speed and very high torque application, I was able to tune parameters to achieve a more or less a robust startup and further rotation above 15C degrees or so, but @ 0C and lower the motor is unable to startup at all. The thing is that @ old FW218 and with the same settings the system performs much better.

What could it be?

VESC 6 DC motor Current limit?

Submitted by ShortCircuit on Thu, 2019-02-07 21:56

Hello,

 

I'm trying to power a ME0708 DC Brushed motor, with VESC 6. No matter what setting I change I can't get it to pull more than 20 amps. When I do a direct motor to battery connection it draws 40 amps. Is the 20 amps a built in safety limitation in the code for the hardware? If so, what is the DC motor current rating on the new VESC 75/300 controller?

 

Thank you

Dual brushed motors from 1 R/C stick?

Submitted by VESC1 on Thu, 2019-01-31 06:19

Hi, I am trying to build a remote control lawnmower using 2 x MY6812 24v 150w motors (https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/united-my6812-24v-dc-150w-2750-rpm-ele...) in a skid steer configuration. I need an esc that will control both motors forward, back, left and right like the guy in the following link but with bigger motors, and work off an R/C receiver.

HI all 

Recently took delivery of a 2019 Trampa MTB. it's awesome but i'd like to make some adjustments to the vesc to see if I can change the way the board pullls away and accelerates. The guys at Trampa told me I could get the VESC software  and put it on a phone that would then be abe to adjust the VESC over bluetooth.....?  So my questions are this 

 

1.what phone would i need? 

2. Are there instructions here or anywhere else on how to get the software onto the phone? 

VESC Tool Instructions

Submitted by brschaefer74 on Fri, 2019-01-25 03:49

I really like what you are doing, the hardware and software integration is really phenomenal. I am a mechanical engineer and I admire all of the hard work and dedication you have put into this project. Being kind of new to Rasberry Pi and Raspian and also being a software challenged ME, for the life of me I cannot get the VESC tool to load. I tried the Platinum and Free versions (I know they are the same, I had to try) and I cannot get the software to start. I got the BLDC tool to start, but the VESC isn't giving me anything.
