General discussion

So, I am sending by UART the command to VESC Set ERPM. As soon the speed I set is near or over the max possible value due to max battery voltage, I get strange results, the motor speed is not stable anymore and going in big jumps -- I would say the speed controller PID goes crazy probably because the motor will never achive the set speed value as it hits the max possible value due to the battery voltage. Is there anyway to improve this issue? am I missing something like a specific configuration? thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a GO-FOC G300 for running a large QS hub motor. The G300 has a nice form factor which I like and together with the high voltage and current rating it was a good match for my needs.

i press the throtle on my dual fsesc6.6 thrampa mounntain board and it justs jerks the wheels (when upside down) but wont spin them more then a few inches 

I got a 100/250 and there doesn't seem to be a plug with the wires in it to line up for the hall sensor input

what is the name of that plug type, I guess I have to make one up

Using a microcontroller (ESP32S3) I am able to read CAN messages sent from the VESC (Status 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). However, when writing CAN commands to the VESC controller my motors are unresponsive, I am wondering if there is a configuration in my VESC tool that is blocking write commands to the CAN bus or some other explanation of why the motors won’t spin?

Hi developers,

    I am trying to build a Racing car with VESC6 mk5. My team hopes to control the car with CANBUS commands to achieve angular and velocity control. I have trouble controlling a servo (angular controller) with PPM output signals. Is there any way of using CANBUS commands to control PPM output signals, or do I have to develop the code myself? If anyone knows how to do this, please help!!! 

Best,

Jiahe

Hey, I am trying to control my motor with an arduino and a potentiometer lever, but I can't get any control at all, I have no issue revving the motor with vesc tool, and I have no issue reading values from the potentiometer on the mega. But connecting them is where nothing happens. I am using UART communication with Serial1 port on the arduino mega (18 and 19 for TX and RX) to the COMM port on the vesc 6 MKVI. The vesc is powering the arduino board and the vesc is powered by a 12v battery.

I am working with an autonomous gokart team through my college and we are trying to use a REV encoder and RC controller connected to a VESC to control the position of a brushed DC motor. 

The encoder position shows up great in the realtime tab of the VESC tool with the exception of being 180 degrees out of phase. When I send it to 20 degrees it tries to go to 200. 

Position control through the VESC tool is somewhat working, but it won't settle on a given degree. It always oscillates 180degrees out of phase with the specified value. 

Hey, I made a mistake and connected the wrong wires to a 12V car battery on my vesc, I connected the battery plug minus pole on the battery for half a second, bits of metal flew off the battery pin and I immediately disconnected. I had connected the plus to minus and caused reverse polarity, smoke came from the XT90 power plug but not from the vesc

Ever since the vesc is now blinking red when connecting, I haven't tried running it but I ran the faults in terminal and got this:

The following faults were registered since start:

I downloaded the free VESC app from this website today.
Copied the APK to my phone.
Go to My files and find APK file
Click to install it
Installation starts fine
It seems to almost complete, then error at the end of progress bar with "App not installed"

I did a quick search here in the forum, but don't see anyone else having this issue.
Ideas for how to get this to work installing on my phone?

I have a Samsung A10 phone
