General discussion

When I view the following tutorial:

https://vesc-project.com/node/182

The first screen I get in the Input Setup Wizard is the remote selection.  It does not give me the option to select whether I am using multi VESC for master.

I cannot find out why my Input Setup Wizard skips directly to the remote Choose App section of wizard without showing me the Multiple VESC option.

Can someone please help me figure out how I can set up slave vs master given this problem?

I'm running two VESC's with two motors in regular PPM mode (current, no_reverse, with braking).  I currently send PPM to the PPM port from a standard receiver.  I am however logging data from the UART port while I ride.  What I'm wondering is whether I can change my mode via the UART port from PPM_CTRL_TYPE_CURRENT_NOREV_BRAKE to PPM_CTRL_TYPE_CURRENT so that I can manually engage reverse from my controller.  Is this possible while controlling it via the PPM port?  If not, can I do it by doing all control through the UART port?

I am working on a project involving controlling my motor through Arduino. I have my Vesc 4.12 wired to the Arduino and i have tried simple arming techniques that were used for different ESCs but none had worked with the vesc. The arming process in arduino is usually done by just writing the code as if you were coding a servo to move to an angle but the angle, in this case, is used as a motor speed.

Hello,

I am using the VESC for onboard energy regeneration for a tethered drone (https://www.skypull.technology/). Right now I am testing regeneration on a bench test, using 2 connected motors, one acting as the driver and the other as the generator.

Hi ,

You can see and hear that  it suddenly cutoff ,so bad....

C80100 Outrunner 50kv does not want to spin.

Hi I have VESC HW V4.12 and C80100 Outrunner 50kv motor and I have a problem the motor does not want to run. The KEDA 63-64 190KV engine works normally. Is not the problem in too low KV? I tried 3s LIPO 4S LIPO and 11S LIPO and the engine is not running. The KEDA engine runs smoothly on 3s LIPO. What to set up to make C80100 Outrunner 50kv to work?

Hi everyone,

 When I mounted the propeller on the motor ,I got a new issue on my VESC6  ​ .  

1: BLDC mode.

When PPM throttle  is up to 55% above , I will hear some "clicking noise" from motor,at that time the battery amp is about 11 A@25v in BLDC mode.

DutyCycle is higher ,the noise is  higher, when DutyCycle up to 65% , it failed  and stoped in BLDC mode.

If DutyCycle is under 50% ,everything is fine .

2: FOC mode

 When PPM throttle is up to 55% above , I  heard the noise from motor too .

HI,

After having used 4 different 4'12hw vesc I bought a flipsky v6.6

I know the problem sound common but I didn't find any answer to my problem.

When I power the ESC light turns green but impossible to connect it to the vesctools using the usb port.

The com mport don't appear on Windows when I plug the ESC...

I've tried 3 different cables and 3 computer with the same conclusion.(all the three computer have been used with no issues on my 4.12hw)

I'm using Allegro hall current sensors with +-200A sense range. What is maximum commanded current in theory if three sensors are measuring phase currents and commutation is FOC?

What is coleration between commanded motor current and current the sensors "see"?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Been using the VESC on a great deal of light electric vehicles now, since HW4.10, with great success, so Benjamin, thank you so much!

The issue has been mentioned here and there a few times but no solution has been discussed yet as far as I know.

I have an electric kick scooter, in which I put a VESC quite some time ago. Recently, I connected a switch between GND and RX to be able to use regen braking.
