General discussion

Thanks to everyone who makes the VESC possible.

It never ceases to amaze me the things I find that a VESC can control and the commnunity around the VESC project is amazing.

I was wondering if there been any thought to adding throttle control in balance mode?

This is not needed if you are doing a one wheel type skateboard but makes thing much easier if you are building larger diameter balancing wheeled vehicles that you sit on and ride.

Hi,

i just bought 2 75/250 but i m not manage to find them  work with NORMAL PWM signal.

Does anyone know and can help me to setup/conecting/wireing  for PWM signal like a servo, NOT PPM/SBUS/DBUS   just a simple PWM

Thanks.

Hello. I am intending to use the analogue input as a kill switch for my VESCs. I was hoping to pull AD1 low with a 5k resistor to ground an then enable it with a 5V input from an Arduino (via a safety lanyard switch).  I can not see in any documentation what the "high" value is for the analogue input. Will 5V be high enough to pull it "High"?

I am building a hybrid drone, using a VESC controlled Flipsky 80100 7kw motor as a generator. I hope to generate 5kw of useful power. I have a 12s1p  35 amp 4000 mah Lion battery (in parallel with the load and with the VESC output) to both buffer the power for big manuevering surge loads, and provide an emergency source should my gas engine die.

I plan on using FOC control, but need to ensure my generator voltage never, ever goes above 50.4 volts (12x4.2v). So, with that in mind, 

Hi all.

I've just installed an FSESC 4.20 Dual 100A in a WowGo AT2 and everything is running really nice so far.

The only thing I can't figure out is why my MPH speed display is halved... 

Im using a Maytech MTSKR2005WF controller over UART. On this controller you can have it display the data its getting over UART, like Speed, Voltage, Mosfet Temps, Distance traveled, etc...

So I have recently built an euc from scratch and I decided to use a flipsky 75100 running off a 13s battery. Well my first problems arose instantly when I couldn't get the motor to turn with keyboard controls only it making god awful sounds. Well I managed to get it to work with the balance app usign a mpu6050 external gyro/accel. Then I started having issues of it randomly starting to tip over and when I got this to happen while connected to my computer the live gyro reading were showing the angle was way out of wack and the accel was reading -8 g's in each direction.

I have a citycoco electric tricycle. Where I live there are many mountains. When going up a hill, my engine overheated and is no longer working. Does the vesc have a way to prevent overheating? Does the vesc need a temperature sensor to prevent overheating? My engine doesn't seem to have a temperature sensor, can you suggest one? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have a 2000W Citycoco Fat Tire X11 electric tricycle. However, where I live, there are many mountains. I want to add another engine at the front to make it more powerful. Can anyone give me a tip? Is there any difference between the front and rear engines? For example, I couldn't find the front engine for sale on Aliexpress.

hello everyone.  my son and I just converted his OneWheel over to running VESC.  it was quite a project for us but i must say, the results are better than expected.  The board is better than stock in every aspect.  however, i wanted to make him a Tshirt for Christmas with the VESC logo on it.  so my question is a. is that OK and b. is there a JPG or some other image file available i can use to print it for him?

thank you

Hello

Why can I post a message here and not in the new feature request section ?

What shall I do ?

Thank you
