Hi,

Are there still plans to implement "Battery Voltage High Cutoff Start" and "Battery Voltage High Cutoff End" that is, in theory, the exact opposite of the Battery_Voltage_Cutoff_Start // End script that is already implemented?  I realise braking will be less consistent when the battery is >95% full, but I cannot afford to keep buying / repairing VESCs.

Hello all,

I have a project right now where I am controlling a vesc using vesc uart (https://github.com/SolidGeek/VescUart) and an esp32.

This works quite well so far. However, I still have a few questions that hopefully one of you can answer.

1. vesc uart does not seem to give me the battery level. Where can I find the function. How on a vesc this is calculated? Then I would just calculate this in my esp32 code.

Hello. I am trying to setup flipsky Mini FSESC4.20 50A base on VESC® 4.12 to work with ardupilot (or PPM input). Should this be possible? When I have battery and USB connected, everytime I change And write Control type to be PPM it changes to uart. On help page it asks to restart controller and to teach endpoints. But how can one restart? I have brushed dc motors that I managed to get turning via vesc tool

Hello guys,

I am trying to build a custom brushless sensored motor with hall sensors but unsure of which type of hall sensors to be used for the VESC.

Does the hall sensor outputs needs to be : 1) Voltage type, 2) Analog type, or 3) Digital Type.

Thank you and appreciate if anyone can answer.

I've got a 3shul cl350 v3. Connecting it to my computer it says the usb is faulty.  I don't know how to figure specifically what's wrong or even see if the pins are making contact with the usb wires.  Is there another way to run a motor test or could I find the motor settings from another of the same motor and enter them through Bluetooth or some other way to get this qs138 v3 motor and throttle going? 

Hello.

Have set up a tracked vehicle using two hoverboard motors in PID control mode. The motors are running perfect and very easy and predictable to control at high and low speed. However, when going downhill close to or at top speed the motors stops responding while going full speed for a few seconds, before suddenly responding again. This happens consistently when going fast downhill.

Have uploaded a YouTube clip where this happens three times going downhill.

Hello,

Hello, I'm a bit new to the VESC tool and was wondering if someone can help with a problem I'm having with my board. They are sensorless motors and run perfectly during the wizard and once going at speed but as you can see from the video ther judder when starting. I'd appreciate any help you guys can give!

Hello all,
I started my own business yesterday. It will be an offer for private persons and companies being first time users in the VESC® world and advanced users too.
My consulting services include:
-selection of the correct type of motor controller for the desired purpose of use
-parameterization of VESC® motor controllers
-construction of an electric drive system in general
-workshops
-etc.

Hi, quick question, I running FOC control for a motor, using a 6s pack, it works great. If I want to move up to 12s do I need to re-run the motor detection or should it just work?

Thanks! 

Scott
