Hi all first question....

controlling a blcd motor total via the can interface ? is this possible if so how ???

any links would be great thanks

David

I've been working on a design that will allow me to use an AS5047P encoder on a hover board motor.  I can't attach the magnet directly onto hub motor because it is a single shaft so I've created a geared assembly.  Here is a link to an image of the design I've created.  I've printed it and installed it with no issues.  The encoder and magnet just attach to the spaces on the middle of the small gear and back of the arm.  The big gear has 64 teeth, the small gear has 25 teeth.

I'm building an electric scooter. I managed to make a nice interface using qml that works fine inside vesc tool. Now i want to wire on an external touch screen for that UI, but have no idea how to do that. What interface do i need (i2c / uart / other)?  Do i need an additional microcontroler like an arduino?  Any advice would be greatly apprciated!

Hi,

I noted that in all the available schematics --> https://vesc-project.com/node/311 the termination resistor of the CAN bus is 220 Ohms, however it should be 120 Ohms.

Am I missing something or has it been overlooked?

Thank you

Ok, so bear with me as this is conceptually in its infancy.

Autonomous vehicles are a dime a dozen with tons of projects (donkey car, etc) that all work to certain extents.  So assuming one of those off the shelf navigation systems 'works', I've been trying to think of ways to implement it to a skateboard.  Because why not!

Hello guys

I have an Enertion Focbox (the black one with only one output), and I have been trying to get it to read an encoder

The encoder I chose was the As5057. I did not want to modify the FOCBOX so I wanted to use the hardware pins and not remove the hall pins filters.

hi

I am making a wheelchair extension that helps move in rough terrains, for that I am using 2 BLDC motors (FLIPSKY 6384) and dual mini FSESC6.7 PRO.

The extension is track based (like a tank), so if I am at full stop and I am turning right I need the left motor to spin forwards and the right motor to spin backwards. It means that I need to be able to drive forwards and backwards and control each motor.

Is it possible?

How can I do that?

Thanks for the help

I have a BLDC motor coupled to a 2-stroke engine to use as a generator, and I want to use the VESC to perform active rectification of the power to the DC bus. 

I know that I can change the settings for "Motor Current Max Brake" and "Battery Current Max Regen" but I was hoping somebody could give some advice about my strategy here.
