Hello,
I am currently designing robot which uses 4 BLDC motor controllers. I am currently designing power supply board.
Are there advantages in safety and charging when using common ground between batteries over separated ground?
I will provide details if needed about my question.

Hello
While waiting on the A200S I decided to improve the heat capability on the 4.12 esc I'm using now.
I use it on a hub motor on a 20" rim @ 10s (3kW peak), so it's not surprising that I have problems with heat 
2-3 full throttle pulls and I was at the 80°C limit..
Has someone managed to connect the VESC to a Jetson Xavier?
I was following this tutorial (https://www.jetsonhacks.com/2017/06/01/get-your-motor-running-vesc-jetso...) which is actually for the TX1/TX2. NVIDIA mentioned that CDC-ACM should work on the Xavier without installing this. However, when starting the BLDC tool I am not able to connect to the VESC. It's not even listed.
607/5000
I was finally able to get communication from then VESC to my RPi
Without CAN-bus forward

Hi,
Im testing VESC 4.12 and have some odd behavior with heating, does the battery voltage affect heating of the mosfet?
I have tried supply 20V and 40V.On 40 volts it get much hotter.
Test was done with 0% duty cycle.(FOC)
Device is working normally, just wonder why the voltage affects the temperature, especially when the duty is 0% and there is no current or is very small.
Can someone explain why is that?
Thanks
I am trying to connect my VESC 6+ to a PiXtend (Raspberry Pi Extension - industrialish) via CAN bus, and struggle to recieve packages from the vesc.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find the technical data for CAN bus for the VESC 6+, so I am not sure wether they are supposed to be able to communicate.
Here is the technical data for PiXtend-V2-L CAN bus
Hello,
We used the software code available at the github of Benjamin Vedder. We have some troubles setting the current and rpm values of the motors. It is possible to set the duty cycles via bldc_interface_set_duty_cycle. But when we tried using the functions bldc_interface_set_current or bldc_interface_set_rpm, it does not seem to work. When we look at the logs of the vesc via the vesc_log command we see that the duty cycle is set at 0.1 %, which makes it impossible to move the motor.
Kind regards

Hello,
First thanks Benjamin and other members for this great project.
Is it possible to use other BLE adapters for android app?example HM-10 or we need to use NRF51822 ?
