General discussion

Hi,

I've have been testing PID position control with an ABI encoder (AMT102-V). As there seems to be som unpleasant behaviors at random times, when I have selected the Sensor Mode to Encoder (Motor Setting>FOC>General>Sensor Mode). Which made me change Sensor Mode to Sensorless.

My question is. Shouldn't PID position Control still work flawlessly, as long as I have selected Sensor Port Mode to ABI Sensor? (under Motor Settings>General>General>Sensor Port Mode).

Is there anyway to receive PPM (throttle position) info through CAN bus from VESC?   I am looking to implement light functionality like brake lights and would rather run that off the PPM position than things like checking for negative current flow from the motors.

I've noticed that current flow on braking (revserse) is not always negative if you're at a stand still position with no induced roll into the motors, say on a flat surface at a stop sign.

CAN_PACKET_STATUS 1-5 seem only to cover the following outputs.

Hi all, 

If I look at the Trampaboards.com website the VESC HD60T is no longer available. 
Is the product discontinued? That would be a bummer as we would like to get some. 

Best regards,

Hi

Im working on the 6 MKIV now, and trying to understand the Power Switch.

Motor is running. Conecting PS to GND Nothing happend, Disconect PS from GND => Motor stops. This is Ok.

But how to aktivate the vesc again ? Disconect all power and connect again ? Only way ?

Is this an actual DRV fault of concern? What might it indicate?
This fault was recorded by Metr Pro CAN. The Vesc Tool app did not report any faults for this session.

Since I finally have a rough working prototype, I figure I'd do a quick post to introduce a project that I'm working on. The full source is available on github.

I've been working on a dual motor robot that uses differential drive and I thought controlling it via bluetooth would reduce the hardware complexity of the entire thing. Since I couldn't find anyone else doing quite what I'm doing at this time, here's the remote that I designed.

I'm using VESC 6 mk III, and other parts follow MIT RACECAR: https://www.jetsonhacks.com/racecar-j/

After uploading fermware 5.2 using VESC TOOL 3.0 for motor setting, we successfully detected it in the FOC menu as shown in the following figure.

Hello,

I am quite new to the VESC and understanding the oepn source firmware.

Can anyone please explain me how is the negative current being sensed in the VESC tool?

In the firmware I see "GET_CURRENT()" for to read the input at the ADC pins mapped to current sensing.

hello, how do i make the ppm data signal output via the vesc-tool 3, is there a way? FW:5.2, HW:60.

Thanks.

Hello, I am not a native English speaker(Korean). Both translator and interpretation are used. Sorry.

And, I am a beginner. We ask for your understanding in advance. thank you.

I am working on a project to make an RC car. 

I bought a 'VESC 6 MkV' and followed the 'Motor Wizard FOC' of the VESC Tool Manuals on the VESC home page to calibrate my motor.
