Has anyone tried connecting a VESC to a Pixhawk autopilot before?
I had read that it can be done using UAVCAN, but I cannot find any documentation or tutorials on it.
If anyone has experience or knows of any resourses would be great to know.
The following hardware and tools are used.
VESC6MKV (FW version:5.3)
VESC Tool Free (version:3.01)
After writing app config to the VESC６MKV using the VESC tool, reboot the VESC6MKV will not retain the written app config and will initialize it.
*If I don't power down the VESC6MKV, it will work with the app config I wrote.
Is there any way to fix this?
Regards,
Hello, I just updated the firmware of my Maker X DV6 and the Flipsky VX3 stopped working. Same issue to a friend with the VX1. Any idea how can we solve it?
Hi all,
I am using a vesc to control a mower on slopes/hills and wondered if there is a way to set a max speed for down hill only.
What I am thinking is like traction control, but down hill descent control, so that the mower doesn't run away.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Has any work been on using VESC to control a mid-drive motor on an electric bike?
Hi, I wanted to ask for help with a specific issue I am having. Basically the motor stutters/cogs up and vibrates loudly in certain situations such as: large accelerations, large throttle values, switching from Hall sensors to sensorless mode, reaching certain speeds (usually around top speed). It's a brushless direct drive hub motor for an e-bike, and I haven't experienced this problem with other controllers before. It can happen in both sensored and sensorless mode and at any speed, but it doesn't always happen.
People have told me that Flipsky FSESCs are not well able to handle anything over 12s. Is that true? I have a 4.20 Flipsky FSESC.
Hi guys,
I have a new Stormcore 60D+ driving 2x hub motors on an off-road e-skate board in FOC mode. I'm using a 10S9P battery.
Key parameters:
Motor current 30A, Braking current -20A, Regen current -20A, Absolute max 200A, FOC settings determined using the test in VESCTool. And yes, both sides have the same settings :)
I have been planning to buy this Gearbox (see link below) for my E-scooter project, it has an option for a IMPSM (Internal Magnet Permanent Stator Motor) the D7500 (linked below), which I assume should work the same way as a BLDC motor with a Vesc, right?
Hello,
I am developing a custom motor and am trying to control it with VESC.
The motor works on a normal hobby BLDC controller, but drawn to VESC since I like that it has speed control and FOC built in.
The motor has a large air gap. The magnetic field is about 1/5th as strong as most typical motors. My theory is that the field is not strong enough for the FOC control algorithm to figure out the speed or position of the motor so it ends up just spazzing out.
Here are some videos of me trying to run the motor:
