Hello,
I have a VESC Mini 4.12 50A, 2kW go-kart motor and a 10s20p battery in a pocket quad. The translation is adjusted in such a way that I get about 25km/h at full throttle and still get relatively good torque.
Hi,
I am new to VESC and using a FSESC 4.20.
I cannot connect to it via USB anymore. (It worked until a bit ago.)
The LEDs show:
- Blue: Permanently On
- Green: Off for 1 second, On for 1 second.
- Red: On whenever Green is on
Is this a special (intended) mode, or did I break something?
Are the LEDs trying to tell me something? (Also, where would I look this up?)
Thank you,
Chaim Lukas
I'm running at 50% success rate here and I need a bit of help. I connected two Flipsky 4.2s via CanBus which ended in ESC death. They did have two different batteries and I'm thinking the voltage difference might have crossed the two CanBus wires. I tried again with two Flipsky 75100s and it worked with no issue, though the voltage difference may have been less. Do I need galvanic isolators across the Can Bus to avoid any issues when using separate power sources? Should I do the same even if using the same battery for all motors?
Hey everyone, yet another cry of help post to add to the archive. I have a small issue that I've been puzzling over for almost a year at this point and I figured I would make a post and pick some brains to see if I can finally get this solved.
I have an electric motorcycle setup with a QS273 electric hub and a Trampa 100/250. I have the controller configured with a single throttle that supports both regen and acceleration in the same unit (Spin-y).
can i use a switched-mode power supply instead of a battery for testing?
Power supply: 2kW Output 52V 40A BLCD Motor: 5KW 14S 220KV 100A
i use the controller to regulate a belt drive with a 35Kg Flywheel.
I change the some parameters for Battery management:
Motor Current Max: 100A
Motor Current Max Brake: -30A
Current Max Regen: = 0A
Battery cutoff start: 40V
Battery cutoff end: 35V
Battery Current Max: 40A
Is there a way to install 5.02 onto the Trampa VESC6 MK VI?
It comes supplied with 5.03, but 5.02 works much better with Duty Cycle drive control on robots.
The MK VI came out only recently, so of course 5.02 doesn't know about it.
thanks,
John
After not being able to find anything with Google I compiled a lookup table below of fault code numbers to fault codes. Shared here for comment, as Im pretty new to VESC, and possibly to help somebody in future if they want to find fault codes using the CSV file in excel or similar.
I have 3 VESCs that I want to give individual different rpm commands over CAN BUS. Will it be better to use a mpu or mcu for this? Is there a particular library that I can use? Maybe for stm
Also what will the can connections look like? I have read that ground and 5V should not be connected. What is the reason for this?
And how do you carry over the CAN connection since VESC just has one CANH CANL set, will a pcb shield have to be made?
What is the suggested frequency for sending commands? and what bus load should you remain under?
Hey guys i ordered Flipsky 75100 controller running firmware 6.0 i paired it with 56.4V battery 13S5P + M365 PRO motor.
I wanted more speed something around 43km/h but no even if it has 80A limit and more voltage still runs 35km/h like stock xiaomi from the shop whats the point ? i need better motor ?.
Thanks guys
I am looking for examples of heavy applications and experience thereof, 2-300kg vehicle, 15-25kW output. A controller such as a VESC 100/250 seems to be capable of great things but I have a hard time finding heavy applications or am I missing something. Please advice or link if you know of any, thanks a bunch.
