General discussion

Hi I bought this VESC based on the MakerX miniFOC from Taobao. When I connect it to vesc_tool it says that the VESC has old but mostly compatible firmware. When I go to the firmware tab to try and update the panes where (i assume) the firmware versions should be is completely empty. When I click the firmware update button it says "this version of vesc_tool does not include any firmware for your hardware version". I see at the bottom "Hw: HW_60_YONG_FW_5_2_V_3", so it seems vesc_tool thinks this is incompatible with a normal HW_60?

I just wanted to come on here and say I'm so glad this community exists and was a big help in setting up my board.  I have an original OneWheel Pint with a quart battery and ubox 100 controller.  I knew it would be better but I'm amazed at how much more torque my VESC'ed Pint has than my GT!!  The Pint now kills my stock GT at hill climbs. 

I have connected a Hall-based joystick and calibrated the whole thing as an ADC with the Wizzard. The signal is recognized well, but the motor switches off at half joystick position.
However, I would like to be able to use the joystick the full way with the same motor power and not reach my highest line at half way. I have not been able to manage this via the ADC mapping.

Any idea how to calibrate that?

Hi, i'm converting a lawn mower with belt drive from 1975 to electric. Flipsky Controller is doing great and my motor is a Bosch BLDC 500W for drive train only for testing.

Throttle config is currently running from ADC1 "Current No Reverse Brake Center" I moved the center of the accelerator pedal down a bit, so it is not in the middle. 4 gears on the lawn mower (1 is reverse)

Hi all,

Currently, I am using the VESC tool on my laptop to visualize the data sent from my VESC, however, I would like to get full tests in without needing to be connected to my laptop.

Hi,

I'm using VESC 4 and currently running this motor:

Hello, when I connect the flipsky 75100 to the current, the blue light on it goes out easily. What can I do to solve the problem?

Controller - Makerbase VESC 60100 V2
motor - flipsky 63100 190Kv

Battery voltage - 25v
firmware -V6.05 (tried 6.02, 5.03, 4.02), hardware version - 60
phase filtering - disabled
current - 100A (ABS max - 160A)
max power loss (set in motor setup wizard) - 1500W
FOC. hall sensors
ADC range - correct

*scratching sounds fixed by disabling DRV8301

Issue - too low torque at 0 RPM

Realtime data shows - 250W, 100A, 10% duty at 0 RPM

Hello, I'd like to make a 3 phase balancer using VESC, in other word, I want it to connect to a 3 phase grid, and be able to inject/take power from one or another phase so as to reduce voltage imbalance. This is quite similar to a 3 phase grid connected inverter, but requires per-phase current control, and no-shift svm so I can connect neutral line to Vdc/2 .

Hi,

I need some advice. I'm converting a CNC Mill and want to reuse the AC Servo's used in the machine. I can't find any inductance specs I need to tune a Granite Devices Argon Drive for one of the motors. It is a 130 frame 1.5KW Motor. I played a while ago with a vesc controller and a BLDC Motor. I remember that the VESC Tool pretty much determent by itself all relevant data of the Motor. Would it be feasible to "measure" a AC Servo motor with the Tool and get correct Data?

Thanks for your help.
