General discussion

Hello, I am using the VESC 100/250 motor controller with the following motor:

ME1507 (ME1905) Brushless 14.5kW Cont. 44kW Pk. IPM Motor 48-100V - - Brushless IPM Motors - MOTORS - EV PARTS (electricmotorsport.com)

It has a VESC supported gate driver(DRV)

 three shunts

ntc's

uart, can bus.

 getting VESC running on this board should be fairly straightforward?

Matter of figuring out how things are connected on the PCB. 
 

or am I  forgetting something? Asking  for a friend....

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
