Hello. Does flashing the VESC with different firmware than the one meant for its version damage the VESC and motor connected to it? Whats the worst thing that can happen? Say I install firmware meant for VESC6 MKIII to a VESC6 MK V. Whats the worst thing that can happen? and whats the best thing that can happen. Help needed please.
Hi I just created a new account, I donated to vesc then followed prompts to my e-mail. I set my password etc.Now when I try to go to VESC Tool I cant get past the first page that has all the donation options. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I'm working on a project of a high speed camera sled for which I bought a Flipsky BLDC motor and the Flipsky FSESC which is based on VESC.
I'm a beginner with microcontrollers and therelike but an avid tinkerer and maker. After a thorough research phase over many months I still haven't found the right way to control the FSESC through Arduino–either via PWM or UART.
Hi all,
does anyone have a working setup or know of a working setup of an Arduino and a VESC 4.2? yes I know there are websites that detail how to do this, however, those examples either implement microcontrollers which I don't have or just doesn't have any information on how to get it working. I've found the VescUart library it doesn't seem to be working for my Arduino nano and my VESC. nothing seems to happen between them. is there anything I need to do I the vesctool settings or does this work regardless??
@Elwin and I have been using Discord to collaborate on some VESC projects. It's been a really useful tool for quick collaboration and troubleshooting, so we thought we might invite others to join us there to learn, develop, test, troubleshoot, and generally chat about how awesome VESC is.
Hello,
HI all,
I have a throttle and brake issue.
I have a thumb throttle and linear hall sensor for braking wired up to my VESC. But for some reason no matter what I try or how many times I go through the setup wizards looking for settings to change... I cant seem to solve it, so I turn to the experts.
Hi Benjamin,
What is the reasoning behind the Switching Frequency in the VESC? I notice that what you get (and therefore also hear) is actually half of the setting you put in. So putting in 30 kHz is actually 15 kHz switching of the mosfets. Is this way of defining it a standard in the space the VESC operates in? I have used various industrial motor controllers and never saw it defined like this. My proposal would be to switch it to the industry standard, such that what you set is what you get.
Kind regards,
Elwin
Hello everyone; I'm new to VESC and trying to make a wheelchair move, for some reason I have all installation good, RC control good, motors react good when no load, but once I sit in the chair and try to move it wont, I have 2 60v 1500w motors 40 poles, 2 64.5v 37.5ah batteries connected in parallel, 2 FSCESC 7550 flipsky and 2 VX1 controls, I guess mi parameters in the tool are off because I've seen setups much smaller than mine and they move quite fast, I'm more interested in torque. if anyone can help I will greatly appreciate it.
Frankey
