Can I ignore abs over current faults or would there be consequences?

Hello,

So I've read multiple forums (though very few posts...) in regards to this throttle ' Magura Twist Grip Throttle 0-5K Ohm ' - Here's the details:

Hi all, I am attempting to use two VESCs and two hoverboard motors (the standard 6.5in 30 pole ones) to make a segway type robot similar to the telepresence robot by Double Robotics. Specifically I am using one HW4.12 ESC and one Flipsky 75100, paired with AMT102-V encoders on each wheel. I originally tried to just use the built in hall sensors, but couldn't get low enough speeds no matter what method I tried to use, encoders allow me to get down to around 200ERPM with +/-10ERPM after PID tuning.

Hello all, 

Newly introduced to the VESC project and everything ESC and apologies (due to no search feature in the forum) and if the question has been raised in the past? 

Is there any possibility of connecting a CAN BUS from a BMS into a twin array VESC6 MKV.  As both CAN BUS connections are already utilized by pairing the two ESC's, is there any work around such as a CAN BUS HUB,  recommendations to network the extra BMS CAN.

Or customs? Or whatever its called? 
Or are there any distributors outside u.k? Sweden for example? :D

thanks

I have a 10s3P battery and when full the VESC tool real time data shows 109 miles of range. i believe i set all the parameters correctly in the app config. On a full charge i can get between 20 - 28 miles on a full charge. Any ideas to get an accurate MPH/KM range?

thanks

Hello, I bought the Android application in the Play store and I can't find the tab to choose the maximum voltage, the PC application doesn't work correctly for me and I can't access the tab from the mobile application.

Could someone tell me if that maximum voltage tab exists in Android?

I'm having a real brain fart.  I have done it a bunch of times but now I can't remember how to access the settiings for traction control in Vesc Tool.

Please Help

Thanks

I'm trying to send a specified rpm to a VESC controller using a ROS node in python. I was able to listen over the canbus while commanding RPM in the VESC Tool and tried to copy their messages. Right now I have the node make an OS call using os.system("cansend can0 {0}".format(command) where the command is "00000-insert motor id in hex-#020008-insert RPM in hex". I have it sending messages at a rate of 10hz. This seems to work for the most part but it fails when I need to stop the robot. It seems to coast to a stop when I send 0 RPM instead of braking.

I have had an issue with an ADC throttle and after searching through the forum I found some older threads that had people asking very similar questions but never getting them answered. (As far as I could see that is) The issue is that I am using an ADC foot throttle whose range of inputs seems to exceed that of the ~3.3v maximum for adc1. On the throttle itself it says 0.8-4.2v. Additionally, when I measure the range the VESC sets the 100% at about 80% or the throttle's range.
