forward, reverse, regen

Submitted by ronmotor on Thu, 2022-11-10 22:37

I have a two motor setup on a four wheel cargo bike. two wheel driven. I have two controllers  100-250 from Trampaboards.

set up:  two thumb controls. one for fwd speed, the other is regen.I have been unsuccessful to have reverse to work and also leave these two thumb controls at same time.

If I remove the reg from the set up I can get a smooth fwd and also reverse.

Has anyone done this successfully. ?

Which App to use and how to wire it

Submitted by philboslaggins on Sat, 2022-11-05 16:20

Hi knowledageable people. I'm very very new to this and trying to get my head around a plan for a DIY electric outboard, using a flipsky 75100, and incorporating a standard ebike throttle, a reverse button, a cruise button, a killswitch, and a uart bluetooth dongle for app control.

My plan is to use ADC1 for the throttle, and hopefully connect the bluetooth dongle to UART 2 to keep it out of the way. 

Brake lever Cutoff switch seperate from Regen braking/throttle wheel

Submitted by SuperSpeed Scooter on Thu, 2022-11-03 19:13

Hey guys looking for some help here. I have a thumb wheel throttle that does Regen braking when rolled backwards that I normally setup current no reverse brake center. I also want my hand brake levers that have a motor cutoff switch to work . Is it possible to do this? I don't want them tied to Regen or anything just to cut the motor when opened , as they are normally closed . In addition is it possible to power and turn on the brake lights with the vesc?

ADC throttle lock.

Hi everyone,

 

I have recently come across a concern on my current project. We are building a drift trike and have attached an ADC throttle to the VESC. This throttle is just to accelerate and does not have a brake but we have a manual brake. There are also no buttons which allow things such as cruise control, reverse etc, its just a simple push down to accelerate throttle. Good to note that it is also a 3 pin throttle.

Current controller issue - Glitches at low current, low RPM

Hi VESC forum,

I've ordered a small VESC EDU to experiment a bit with some motion control applications on the VESC. I have a bit of a background in motion control, so I'm curious about the potential of this platform. In experimenting I've come accros some strange glitches, which I can't really explain. So I was wondering if anyone else has an idea what I might be doing wrong :), or maybe someone can replicate the same behaviour?

Inquiry about Incremental and Absolute Encoders in VESC for Robotics

Submitted by sivanhere on Fri, 2022-10-28 21:02

We have been using the VESC6 for the past few years for robotics drive systems using AMT102V. Recently we have seen AS5047P also being used in absolute mode. We are using the TMotor R100 with an average velocity of 1200RPM in our use. We wanted to know which one would be beneficial for us for precise velocity control, an incremental encoder like AMT102 or an absolute one like AS5047P in regards to VESC.
