Hi, 

I have a setup where I can load my motor with a torque-setting. The idea is then that my vesc-clone should be able to get the motor to start moving. Yesterday I had the load-torque set to require 30A, and when I commanded 80A by turning the pot all the way up, nothing happens until I manually nudge the motor. It seems as if there is a 30A limit as long as the motor isn't running. That's not acceptable in my application: I'm going to need about 100A to get going.....

Hi everyone, i come across this esc due to seeing youtube videos explaining position , i am working on a BB8 project and looking for a controller for the head

control, which is using brushless motors this esc would be perfect, i would have to redesign the PCB to have two controllers to save space and the main drive to have a forward and reverse driver

my questions are, i would like to use harmonic drives and encoders, i have  RLS RM08 12bit  encoder with SSi interface which works by bit banning the clock and reading the 12bit of data that is

I've got 10s battery running 2 trampa motors I do a lap round a field on soft ground end of the run the battery percentage goes down the board does not want to move until the battery has recovered 5-10 seconds, is this normal?bad vesc settings?or shit battery?.the battery is made of Samsung cells

Hello!
Recently I've been working on a project that involves remote controlling two hub motors. Specifically, two of these: https://www.uumotor.com/webstore/scooter-motor/24v-48v-9-10-13-15-350w-5.... I plan to control the motors with either a VESC 6 or a FOCBOX, and remote controlled through hobbyist rc gear. Specifically, I want to use an RC plane remote to control the two motors (tank drive). What is a good compatible remote?

Hi,

not sure if this is the correct place, my question is regarding forum color schema, is it only me who have such low contrast making hard to read the messages? I would prefer to have fonts color more vivid so better contrast with background for easier reading...

Hi!

Newbie to vesc and esk8boards. I'm building a board for my son at UWMilwaukee. Its partially assembled Turnigy VESC v4.10, 6374 Turnigy 192kv motor, 12S LiPo(4x3s in series), Nunchuck, 83mm wheels on a Volador Freeride board, but I'd like to put the lights like I saw in Benjamin's video on too.

After digging through the VESC source code, I found the ws8211 code in there and I'm wondering if it is easy to activate that code and just use it?

Because I've just implemented the potentiometer to control VESC HW4.12  via the ADC input, I've never noticed that even with the potentiometer at zero, there are still current consumption.

Is there any way to shut-off or put the VESC in stand-by mode with a simple switch (not a power switch of course)?!

Here it is Duty Cycle controlled, but I will surely use Current Control as soon as I will have finished my mechanical assembly.

It seems to be smooth when I've done some simple experiments, loading the motor by hand.

Have a Nice Day.

Hi,

   I use VESC and other esc drive my motor,i found that vesc is lower speed than other esc when in full throttle.How can i increase the speed?

The 2 wires from the female charge port can I solder them onto the positive and negative wires between the Antispark and the battery
