Is there a way to temporarily disable kill switch

Submitted by Elliott Wolbach on Mon, 2023-07-31 23:21

Hello All,

I am using two vesc controllers to drive my robotics project and am using the Kill Switch mode PPM Low as a failsafe on my front bumper sensor. In the event that something hits the front of the robot, the motors will stop, is there any way to temporarily disable the kill switch to manually reverse from the obstacle?  

Issue with my Blacktip program

Hi there,

Invalid command: $$

Connecting reverse button to Trampa vesc

Submitted by Oded Mazor on Fri, 2023-07-28 08:09

Installed a Trampa 100/250 in my electric dirt bike.
Would like to add a reverse function. Not interested in brake or Regen.

Plan to choose the ADC mode "current reverse button".

What will be the easiest way, and where do I connect the reverse button to the Vesc?

Brake rpm minimum

Submitted by mcspikesky on Sat, 2023-07-22 22:51

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?

Using Multiple VESCs in Robotics?

Submitted by Kristof123 on Sat, 2023-07-15 19:00

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!  smiley

Dual Motor Tracked vehicle

Submitted by minimivic on Sat, 2023-07-15 18:54

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.
