General discussion

Hello

I have been using the adc1 throttle in current, no reverse, brake centre and having the centre as 0

Having a couple of one way cluthes in the system means I cannot regen and if not using the drive it is best for the chain to stop.

The issue being that with the controller in this configuration it makes some noise from the motor at times and I believe causes extra power usage when vehicle is idle

I cannot find any way to disable braking below an rpm?

Hi, I plan on using multiple VESC controllers for a robotics application. However, it turns out that the CAN bus to communicate between the controllers is too slow (only 1 MBit/s). CAN-FD would be fine, but it doesn't seem to have been implemented. Is there a way to make the controllers communicate at a high data rate (>1 MBit/s)? Thank you!  

Just starting out so I have probably made a load of mistakes already.

I'll be using a Flipsky 6.7 dual VESC and 2 x 6374 Alien Power 200KV Sensored (hall) outrunner motors. Battery will be a 36AH 24v Lifepo4 all PPM controlled via 2 RC channels (left and right track)

The project is a radio controlled Tank in 1/6 scale, I need forward and reverse but no regenerative braking or even braking as such. I'm changing from 350w DC motors and esc just to try it out.

Hi, I'm new to vesc and just encountered my first problem. The e-bike hubmotor is not running in FOC mode, it is just making weird noise. It is a mxus xf40-30h 1,5kW motor.

I made a video:

The FOC setup wizard detects the motor and turns it, everything looks fine and when I select sensorless the motor is turning. 

I am evaluating VESC using a VESC Six EDU. The application is propulsion for a solar powered fixed-wing UAV, so efficiency is the primary metric on which I am evaluating VESC.

The motor is a Scorpion S-5028-220kv. When VESC performs parameter identification on the motor, it reports: R=12.5mOhm, L=18.59uH, Ld-Lq=5.62uH, lambda=3.651 mWb. On my scope it has very sinusoidal BEMF when spinning with a drill.

The motor is mounted on a thrust stand with a propeller, and I am comparing to a Castle Creations Phoenix Edge 120HV using the following methodology:

I was happily using a VESC MKIV for long time on my cargo-shuttle. Unfortunately recently I had a cascading failure that was leading to 4 dead ESCs. I was changing spokes on my rear wheel with the motor - while doing so I must have damaged the cable going into the motor and motor phases with 48V where shorted to the HAL sensors. This made my old trusty MKIV go bad. Unfortunately initially I did not know what the root cause was - and just thought the controller died of old age or some freak error.

It's been giving an error for a couple of months now. Looks like it's getting silently killed?

Hi guys. I'm new to this and I have a problem that I've been solving for 2 weeks and I can't solve it easily, I can't get more power in the water than 30A(e-foil) Can anyone help me set it up? Esc-VESC-CONTROLLER WITH 300A 75V, Battery-12s 48V, 35Ah, Std discharge current 100A, Motor 5680, 540kw, 48V. Receiver and transmitter FERO. Thanks in advance. Marin

One of my new vescs (MakerX D75) is spinning the wheels correctly in the motor detection, but when I test the motor direction, the vesc short-blips and the wheel(s) will move slightly, but not spin. My other vesc is working fine with the same setup.

I need confirmation that I am not confusing terms here. As far as I understand, following terms appear in the VESC project:
