General discussion

Hi,
We are trying to controll the VESC using LabVIEW on a MyRIO, but we have some trouble figuring out how we can do that. We are therefore wondering if anyone has done something similar.

There is a block called "UART" in LabVIEW, that can be used to write a string to a TX pin. Can that be used to write commands to the VESC somehow?

Sorry if this question is more about LabVIEW than VESC, but I hope that someone can help us anyway. I have attached an image showing the code for the block.

Hi everyone, hope you're doing great !

I'm having a hard time adjusting the acceleration ramp on current control. It doesn't seem to change anything when I change the values of "Positive" & "Negative Ramping Time". 

Can please someone explain me how to smoothen the acceleration ramp in my situation ? Because it's too aggressive every time I use it.

Thanks a lot for your help 

Has anyone experienced corrupted firmware or corrupted app before so difficult to tell same problem on two different boards so must be that

Having a VESC (6 MkV) on my CargoShuttle for a while now. Now want to do regenerative breaking - but face a problem. I set the breaking to ADC2 - and when pushing this throttle the same time as the current throttle on ADC1 there is no more motor rotation. But there is no breaking effect. Interestingly I see some effect when pushing the bicycle backwards (but I rarely drive backwards and really need no regenerative breaking in this direction) - but also I do not get negative current then - only positive current. 

Running 63100 motors with trampa vesc's and I'm getting like a brake hiccup ie the board brakes on its own whilst riding can I change anything in settings to prevent this ,on 5.3 don't think it happened as much on 5.2 

Howdy, 

Hi everyone,

Hi,

Could somebody say me at which frequency is called this function : mcpwm_foc_adc_int_handler on a 75_300 board

Thanks in advance,

Hi guys, I'm sorry if I'm off topic you can delete the post if it not useful for the community. I want to ask a stupid question from a noob like me.

If I have a brush DC motor, in my case a MY1020 500W, is it possible to increase torque of the motor, in particular stall and low rpm torque (high RPM are useless in my application), replace the magnets with a greater number of it and with a strong performance material like neodymium?

I think that now are in ferrite. The number of teeth in the motor are twenty and magnets are four.

Hello,

My motor is used to make sometime big regen.

My battery owns a BMS and as a result, I absolutely need to take care to not make the BMS trips, otherwise I will burn the VESC (because braking with battery disconnected generates overvoltage).

How to prevent regenerating if battery voltage is too high ? Example : the BMS will trip at 42,5V. To get a safety margin, I want the VESC not doing regen if voltage is greater than 41,5V.But I want to be able to discharge.

1) How to implement this behaviour ?
