Hi

Hi everyone

I am having some issues with the motor detection in bldc mode. The motor spins up but the detection fails with bad detection result received. I am using Focbox upgraded to 3.34 and 6374 190kv motor. Any advice?

thanks in advance for your help.

I am trying to use the VESC 4.12 with the Castle 1406 sensored 4600kv motor and an 18v power tool battery but I can't seem to get it configured for proper BLDC operation. No matter how I adjust the settings the BLDC autodetection doesn't seem to work.

Hi everyone!

The idea is to run a "CityEL" (an old three wheeled electric car weighing ~300kg incl. me and a top speed of 50 km/h) off of a VESC 4.12 I've already got.

Currently it's driven by a brushed motor, and I'd like to replace it with a BLDC motor and a VESC because the brushed motor is heavy, inefficient and very noisy.

Hey Guys

I am mucking around with setting max ERPM to say the equivalent of 20kmh which works great

But when I carve at 20kmh, the outer wheel that would usually spin faster than the inner remains restricted to 20kmh.

So I believe that usually the wheel is allowed to speed up to cover the greater distance of the carve curve. 

But in this instance the VESC is very good at not allowing it to go over that speed. 

Hi guys

Could anyone tell me what the constant high pitched sound is when you put any current into the motors under load? It's kind of line the sound of lots of cicadas in the bush...

It stops in neutral trigger. Even a slight trigger or brake produces the full sound. The sound doesn't increase with extra current or braking. But is quite loud when riding along on the skateboard. 

Dual 100kv 6365s. 

Thanks Regards

Hi!

I was wondering where to find some documentation on how to communicate with the VESC to be able to change parameters via an app or a bluetooth device?

Hey all,

Seems like the forum is getting some spam messages as replies to real comments. Is there a way to flag these or should there be one?

Hi everyone,

Does any body have a problem with motor rotation direction? In my case motor spins clockwise in BLDC mode and measuring flux linkage, and counter clockwise in FOC mode. 

Thanks,

Martin.

Merry Christmas to everyone out there!

We wish you a relaxed and peaceful time with your family and loved ones.

Best wishes for the upcoming year. Keep up the good skills, stay healthy and bright!
