General discussion

Where I live the roads are very routh and there are many hills. I have to drive slowly and when going down hills I have to squeeze the brakes like my life depends on it. I would very much like to be able to press a button and the VESC would break or accelerate for me to maintain the desired slow speed. Can someone point me in the direction of how to implement this?

Another thing, I did not find much information about magnetic breaks and battery regeneration. How to use it with VESC and the dos and don'ts.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have an older electric skateboard. What worries trans/receiver kit and motor controller do you recommend for a dc brushed motor? My motor has two wires only.  New controllers have three.  I'm going to power the board with dealt lithium 20 volts. 

Two questions regarding field weakening and MTPA:

1: I understand Field Weakening and MTPA can make the motor run faster. Is there a benefit to using either of them if the BLDC is used primarily as a generator?

2: These options disappear when I connect my Turning ESK8 V2. Is there something missing from that Vesc or my motor settings that would disable this option?

Hi,

I'm using 3 VESCs for a 3-wheeled driving robot, and have all of them wired up over CAN Bus.
For configuring and setting parameters with VESC Tool I am able to use a USB connection into only 1 of the VESCs, which detects and writes all of the parameters over CAN to the others

For control, I have an STM32 board that sends speed and position commands to all 3 VESCs over CAN.

Hi Folks,

hello everyone.

My name is Yonatan. My team and I are making an AUV and we're using the VESC 75/300 in order to control our main motor.
We do most of our coding in oython and we make use of ROS2 in order to manage the communication between different modules.

HI IM NEW TO VESC

I HAVE A ELECTRIC SCOOTER THAT IM MAKING AWD

I BOUGHT A FLIPSKY  DUAL FSESC75100 CONTROLER

I NEED HELP WITH THE WIRING AS ITS NOT PLUG AND PLAY APART FROM THE MOTOR AND HALL WIRES

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE ?

THANKS GRIFF

Dear all. 

I am using the VESC for an ROV project where I do not use batteries, as a propeller underwater can not provide any regenerative braking. 

Dear all,

I hope that someone can help clarify some things for me regarding the use of the VESC. 

I am using the HD60 VESC and the newest firmware (6.0). 

I am powering it at 24 V from a mean well DPU3200 power supply.

I am using the VESC for an ROV project where I would like to obtain some feedback from the ESC, this is provided by the VESC, which also allows me to use CAN as communications which is also preferred.
