General discussion

Forgive my ignorance, to set either adc or ppm to low do I connect ground to the signal wire?

I have a scooter with hydraulic disc brakes and I want to cut the motor while braking. The brake levers have sensors that are 2 wire "normally open" so I can join the 2 wires between signal and ground and it will make a connection when I pull the lever. Just checking this is the way to do it?

No kill switch is used.

PPM Low

Hi,

I'm using the vesc 75_300 with firmwware 5.3 version with pwm app

In "pid speed no reverse" mode (helicopter application), when the servo reach 0, I have a strong brake of the motor.

In "current mode no reverse", there is not his problem, current and duty seems always positive and I can stop more quickly without active braking.

Here is the graph screenshot with a pwm down ramp of 17s to avoid to break all my mechanic (no free wheel, so active breaking is prohibited)

Thanks in advance

Hi,
We are trying to controll the VESC using LabVIEW on a MyRIO, but we have some trouble figuring out how we can do that. We are therefore wondering if anyone has done something similar.

There is a block called "UART" in LabVIEW, that can be used to write a string to a TX pin. Can that be used to write commands to the VESC somehow?

Sorry if this question is more about LabVIEW than VESC, but I hope that someone can help us anyway. I have attached an image showing the code for the block.

Hi everyone, hope you're doing great !

I'm having a hard time adjusting the acceleration ramp on current control. It doesn't seem to change anything when I change the values of "Positive" & "Negative Ramping Time". 

Can please someone explain me how to smoothen the acceleration ramp in my situation ? Because it's too aggressive every time I use it.

Thanks a lot for your help 

Has anyone experienced corrupted firmware or corrupted app before so difficult to tell same problem on two different boards so must be that

Having a VESC (6 MkV) on my CargoShuttle for a while now. Now want to do regenerative breaking - but face a problem. I set the breaking to ADC2 - and when pushing this throttle the same time as the current throttle on ADC1 there is no more motor rotation. But there is no breaking effect. Interestingly I see some effect when pushing the bicycle backwards (but I rarely drive backwards and really need no regenerative breaking in this direction) - but also I do not get negative current then - only positive current. 

Running 63100 motors with trampa vesc's and I'm getting like a brake hiccup ie the board brakes on its own whilst riding can I change anything in settings to prevent this ,on 5.3 don't think it happened as much on 5.2 

Howdy,
