General discussion

From what i can see there is not a spot to select brushed dc motor from the app, is this something i just missed or in a different tab?

From the pc application its under general->motor type->(BLDC/DC/FOC/GPD)

Moble app only seems to offer various sizes of inrunner or outrunner options.

Would the type of controller have an affect on this? tried a few different vesc based controllers.

I'm not seeing any CAN commands for setting motor configuration values, am I missing something? Specifically, I'd like to be able to set the PID values for the position and velocity controller, Should I just be adding commands to the firmware for this myself?

Thanks!

I have a static torque control application that I am hoping to implement with a VESC and a permanent magnet brushless motor with Hall sensors.

It would be a subsystem in a control loop that would continuously adjust the torque applied to a torsional spring.

Most of the time the torque would be constant, so the motor would not be rotating. Both positive and negative torque would be needed.

Is this even possible to do? If so, how would I set up the VESC?

If it is not possible with a permanent magnet motor, how about an induction motor?

Hello,

I've built an electrical winch for paragliders with a 12kw hub motor. It is operating with a VESC 75/300.

Today we wanted to test it's drag force before we are actually going to use it to launch a real paraglider.

We attached a "Quad" (a motorcycle with 4 wheels) to the line and started pulling. To measure the drag force in kilogram (or daN) we were using heavily the brake of the quad. 

Hi,

new here not sure if this is the right forum category for this, anyways . . 

I have the older version of the Flipksy 75200 VESC which I blew some components on the back of the board when I tried to run it on BLDC mode instead of the normal FOC. It looks like they are direct MOSFETs? 

Does anyone know where/ and if I could purchase new ones? The number on them is IYR 7769 JHZU 1332, with the Y looking more like a upside down triangle with a vertical line through it. 

Hey folks i'm a little stuck.. I was adjusting the shutdown mode on my VESC based esc and I moused wheeled to always_off without realizing I did it and wrote the config.. Only realizing my mistake after I reviewed my settings. I'm stuck with esc shutting down right away. How do I reset this?

Hi!
i just got my new awesome vesc 6 pluss however when i try to configurate it i get the errrormessage suggestign a hardware issue..

the message states " reason: high offset on current sensor 2, check for hardware failure. "

the vesc is brand new and never been used, i also have uploaded the most up to date hardware? 

does any one have an idea to what i can do. 

i have previusly had multiple vescs and they have all worked straight out of the box.

thank you for any help best regards Hiorth. 

Starting a new project helping a friend get his e-skate setup so Im learning from the ground up.  I checked all his wiring and it looks good.  He has the Flipsky FSESC4.20 100A and 2 - Flipsky 6354 / 190v motors from a few years ago, but they never got the unit running because they couldnt figure out the software setup side of things.  I loaded VESC tool and went step by step as Flipskys youtube video recommended but because the software is much newer things were obviously slightly different looking.  I did get several warnings that the firmware was out of date but Flip
