Same MC Values, differnet Output on Dual Setup

Submitted by E-Toxx on Mon, 2017-09-11 09:27

Recognized a "strange" behavior with my Dual Setup...

By setting up the AS5047 Encoders the last days i observed that,

with equal MC values the Slave Vesc is not pulling the Amps that the Master does....

Please see the Video it makes easier to understand

The strange sound by the slave was only it slips out of my hand... on the end its the master again with 140A

 

E-Bike Throttle connect with Regenerative Braking

Submitted by E-Toxx on Sat, 2017-09-09 09:38

Hey

Need some advice to hook up an additional switch to my excisting Setup to activate regenerative Braking.

Would like to connect an switch OR reedcontact to my Magura Hydraulic Brake so that if i touch the brake can use the thump throttle for motor brake.

Actually connected is a 3-Wire Thump throttle To COMM with VCC-GND-ADC1

The switch is actually also 3-Wire...

Does it needs also VCC-GND and ADC2 ?

Thanks in Advance

UART communication

Submitted by EthB on Wed, 2017-09-06 19:13

I just updated my 4.12 VESC to the new firmware to use the new VESC-tool with it. It works great.

However, on the old firware, i had an arduino getting data over the UART port through RollingGecko's VescUartControl library. As soon as i updated the VESC and reconfigured everything, i was no longer able to get data over the UART port. Is anyone aware of any changes that may cause this in the newer firmware? Perhaps a change in how the VESC sends data or a change in commands on the newer firmware.

Timeline and Source Openness

I use a 4.12 derived custom hardware with customized 2.18 firmware. I also have a customized BLDC tool to take advantage of some features of my custom firmware.

I'm very impressed with the performance of the VESC and its derivatives, and I'm excited to hear about the new tech that is coming along.

I see from the commit logs and comments in this forum that 3.x firmware may work with 4.12 derived hardware. Is this a good time for me to test that?

What is the status of the HW6 testing and when are the HW6 plans expected to become available?
