What is the current recommended CAN implementation to develop robotics applications that include 10+ VESC ESCs?
Hi Benjamin,
For the need of an electric mountainboard race, I gave BLDC a try on my MTB, which I used in FOC until now.
I would say I'll never come back to FOC for all terrain rides.
It feels like the board is direct linked to your mind. No latency as FOC can bring.
Few riders still in FOC during the event switched also to BLDC and then could pass some sharp turns easily when they struggled to manage them with FOC mode.
Hi all!
Maybe its easy, but i dont know how))
I cant start any motor with esc vesc mini4.
I tryed wizard, its dont recognize motor. Try to another esc the same truble.

Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum and my English is far from perfect so apologize for any mistake.
I'm doing a project were VESC 6 drive a 2.4 Kw 48V sensored motor that will act like a mill motor , the machine is in real a robot with an hydraulic arm with 3 DOF with at the end the mill motor.
All the boards that control the machine are controlled over a CAN network
What is the recommended way to implement CANbus communication for a robotics application with 8-10 VESC motor controllers on the bus?
Our CAN bus controller is a Linux based single board computer with a PiCAN 2 - CAN Interface board running Ubuntu and ROS.
I see that there is support for Libcanard / UAVCAN starting with firmware 3.45 but I am not sure how much of the protocol is implemented.
I also saw this implementation
Hello.
I set up a C80100 6KW motor on a VESC 6 with the FOC wizard.
It automatically set the phase current to 110 A That seems a bit high to me. I know the hardware limit is 120 A.
How safe is it to run it that hard ?
Does anyone have any experience pushing it to the limit ?
Im using it to run an ebike at 12s. A failure would not be good.

Hey there,
I'm currently trying to replace my old brushed dc motor with a sensored 6374 motor.
So far so good. I'm learning a lot. Now a have some questions:
Can the VESC accept step/direction signals directly? If so, how is it done and where can I find documentation?
Thanks,
Ryan
yHello,
i wanted to connect the AS5047-Encoder to the Vesc for a sensored BLDC use. I could only find the following wiring in the forum:
Hall1 - SCK
Hall2 - MISO
Hall3 - CS
VCC - MOSI
Is this everything to connect? What about the GND?
Thanks for your help.
So the motor company sends a video showing the motors they sent can do 5680 rpm at 28.8V, but a Flipsky 6.6+ VESC is only getting 4090 rpm at 29V in FOC mode...
I believe one of two scenarios are at play here:
1) the motor company has faulty measurement equipment and the motor isn't doing 5680 rpm
2) my VESC is only 72% efficient
Lets assume #1 is not the case, then is 71% efficiency common? Is there anything I can do beyond the awesome super easy motor setup that Benjamin made with his new VESC setup mobile app?
