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. 

Bench Testing

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  I did get several warnings that the firmware was out of date but Flip

VESC6 with DRV8320

Submitted by cromoly on Wed, 2023-04-19 02:40

Hello,

I have an idea of taking the official vesc 6 schematic (https://vesc-project.com/node/311) and replacing the drv8301 with drv8320.

Assuming that the pcb and the hardware designed correctly, will it work if I just change the hw_60_core.h by using #define HW_HAS_DRV8320 instead of the current #define HW_HAS_DRV8301? Are there any other changes I'll have to make?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[SOLVED] PWM speed control at low RPM

Submitted by comes04 on Sun, 2023-04-16 13:30

Hi evryone, this is my first post, I am very new to the VESC hardware.

I am working on Hw: 60 with Fw V6.02 and have the following issue:

I set up my motor with a power supply, the motor its quite large, 1,9 kW / 6N.m with peak of 18N.m.

Is working with hall sensor and I set up the input to be PPM. My "remote" is an arduino with a potentiometer that send values from 0 to 180.

That is mapped to be Pulselength Start:1,0070ms and Pulselength End 2,0060ms

How does controlling two different motors over CAN bus really work?

Submitted by oangelo on Sat, 2023-04-15 20:05

I have been attempting to understand how VESC operates, specifically how to control two different motors using two connected VESCs via the CAN bus. The documentation is quite brief, and I have not found any useful information. Consequently, I have been trying to figure it out through experimentation on my own.

FloatWheel not balancing, shooting forward

Submitted by EvDeck on Fri, 2023-04-14 22:16

Hey all! New here and need some help. I hope I'm in the right place. 

 

TL;DR my floatwheel turns on, seems fine when using VESC tool (motors turn, gyro and pitch,roll,yaw settings good) but when I try to step on it doesnt balance, just shoots forward or backward. Im not sure what settings need to be fixed.

 

Position Limits w/ BDC and ABI Encoder

Submitted by gokulswami on Thu, 2023-04-13 10:43

I'm currently a part of a group working on an application where we are required to use a BDC and ABI encoder for position control. We have gotten proper position control working manually though the tool and through PPM with a RC controller.

However, the application requires us to not move the BDC passed a certain angle. For example, the BDC might need to only be moving between 20 and 150 degrees, and be absolutely not able to move passed that limit.

Motor runs only at constant speed (with VESC 100V200A and Flipsky VX3).

if I press the remote control (VX3), then happens up to 10% NOTHING...

and everything from 10% to 96% (higher it goes somehow not), it makes the motor simply on, with a CONSTANT speed of 14.1xx RPM, about 1.8A (if I brake the shaft, the current is then simply increased, so that the speed is held..)

=> I have meanwhile 10x clicked through everywhere, but do not find the tick or the values that are set incorrectly..

.please help!!
