What VESC Controller should I buy?

Submitted by Skye Parker on Sat, 2023-03-04 07:10

Hey everyone! 

Looking for some advice on my rideable "swervedrive" robot project. 

This will be a platform with 4 hub motors, each with its own steering motor. I am looking to bench test the hub motors with power running through slip rings. Anyway, I just want to use these baby hub motors:

LISP script to import data to MATLAB

Submitted by cornballs on Thu, 2023-03-02 04:58

Hi, I'm rather new to VESC Tool, probably even worse at coding. I'm trying to export the motor's back emf and ERPM data into MATLAB or Excel sheets for experiments and testing. I also want to time the data with other measurements external from the VESC tool, so I don't think I can simply use export the Experiment files from RT data. How would I write a script in the LISP console to do that? What's the variables to call these two data sets? Sorry if I'm not being specific enough about my problem.

esc burning my motor

Submitted by renaudbarbier on Tue, 2023-02-28 09:38

hi, 

 

I got at least one (maybe more) situation in FOC mode where my throttle serial  input would be to accelerate from zero to something and the motor for any reason would get stuck or miss the step. in those situation the esc seems to push the motor to start. even if I release the throttle the esc still pushes current like trying to startup the motor. then the motor would burn if I do not cut power fast enough.

Adc1 and Adc2 not working combined

Submitted by tarzanhbk on Sat, 2023-02-25 15:01

I´m modding an old m365 Scooter with a Vesc based ESC plus original throttles.

But it doesn´t matter what i´m trying to setup, i can´t get adc1 and adc2 do do their job combined.

Both throttles are classic 3 cables: Power, GND and Signal, so i hook both throttles on 3,3V together, GND together and the frist throttle signal to ADC1 and the second to ADC2 on UART port.

VESC PAS and ADC App - How does it work?

Submitted by numbke on Fri, 2023-02-24 23:49

Hi guys,

I managed to get my ADC working fine on "ADC" and "ADC and PAS" app.

My PAS Sensor is working on "PAS" but not on "ADC and PAS" app.

Does it have to be wired differently there or is "ADC and PAS" not meant to work as both throttle and PAS sensor input in the same app?

Would appreciate any help you have! 

FOC settings are working in one VESC hardware and not in another VESC hardware with same hardware version ( VESC 6MKVI )

Hello everyone I have two VESC6 MKVI hardware with me, while configuring using Welcome and Wizards -> Setup FOC Motors out of two VESC module one is working and another one is not working. What can be the issue. configuration I followed is same 

DIY powerfull vesc for electric motor, Axiom: 100kW motor controller

Submitted by torlon on Wed, 2023-02-15 02:37

I would like to make a vesc for powerfull motors, 100kw and more, such as the Axiom: 100kW motor controller. Can I take this schematics from the "vesc 75/300", and just change the input voltage from the battery to lets say 200amp/400v, for the nissan leaf 80kw bldc motor, and scale up each part that is not holding up. for example this mosfet or igbt, insulated gate bipolar transistor, can handle 1000v, 400a. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32686416981.html. maybe it needs more cooling.
