Torque Ramp Rate whilst in FOC

Submitted by J_W97 on Mon, 2022-03-14 11:50

Morning all,

I'm having a challenge understanding how to control the torque ramp rate (Nm/s) whilst in FOC.
It appears there is a parameter to control this (max current ramp step) whilst in BLDC mode, but not FOC.

Can anyone advise? My thoughts are if VESC does not support this then I'll have to implement this on my control side.

Cheers,

Jack

Is there a VESC with the form factor like a Votol EM200 ? (with those threaded lugs|Screw Terminals))

Submitted by Gatze on Sat, 2022-03-12 09:33

I'm looking for a VESC with this form factor:

Does anybody knows a VESC like this ?

I'm quite fan of the VESC and I will going to do a bigger project and want to stick to the VESC and preferable with those threaded lugs (I don't know if this is the right English name..)

Thanks in advance.

 

 

 

VESC usefull for high speed regeneration?

Submitted by Riccio on Fri, 2022-03-11 10:45

Hi guys I'm new on this community. The VESC project are really interested especially the facilitation for a noob like me.

My question is during regenerative operation if for example have a VESC that support 100V and a battery pack of 55V is it possible to spin the EM at the speed when it produce 100V and obtain from the VESC a voltage of 55V to the battery? Is it works vice versa when the motor spin at low speed and generate low voltage?

How much %Kw loss I can expect for this conversion if it is possible?

 

VESC not responding to throttle

Submitted by posthy on Thu, 2022-03-10 17:12

Hi all!

I'm building a dual motor electric scooter. I have an Ubox V2 VESC, with an ADC adapter from spintend. Using the VESCTool it could detect the motors and the throttle, and I can see the voltage change in CH1 (0V - 2.5V) on ADC Mapping tab.  However the motors are not spinning regardless, completely ignoring the throttle position.

Connecting handlebar controlls

Submitted by mannberg on Thu, 2022-03-10 14:57

My very loose plan is to connect my handlebar inputs, such as throttle, break sensor, turn signal and buttons to my vesc, read the handlebar switches-ctrls from Lisp1 and send CAN frames to my lights[^2] and horn.

How do I connect my handlebar switches to the vesc? In my example I'm have a Ennoid vesc and these wires from my handlebar:

Vesc firmware to programmable Sabvoton ml60 controller.

Submitted by Maciejwarloch on Tue, 2022-03-08 14:19

Hi, I have a question, is it possible to upload a vesc to the motor driver which is based on stm32, it only has measuring resistors that measure the current from the battery, how does it look with uploading such a software, is there any pinout to define for it to work? Any of you guys tried something like this? Controller: Sabvoton ml60 in the programmable version, of course. Thank for answers!!

Enable/Disable VESC Response to Incoming PWM Control

Submitted by gazlinux on Sun, 2022-03-06 19:13

.

Is it possible to configure VESC to ignore the remote control signal, for example, depending on the state of a circuit coupled to a REED switch?

Is there a command I can issue to VESC based on the state of REED switch, so I can disable VESC response to the PWM control signal?

Is there a command I can issue to VESC based on the state of REED switch, so I can enable VESC response to the PWM control signal?

 

 

 

Controlling a custom made RC Vehicle

Submitted by Skaaly on Sat, 2022-03-05 12:56

Hello, I have built this contraption of a vehicle we call the "tot rod" it has dual brushless motors a controlled by an 8 channel radio transmitter. I have an unnecessary amount of 20v power tool batteries at jus disposal, I've been running up to 4 of these depending on how far we are going.  20v get this around 12mph @ 20v with 4 batters at 20v it will drive around for hours. With 4 batteries at 80v it did wheelies and immediately burned up the ESC... this began my learning curve that brought me here. Ideally 40v is plenty. Can i rebuild these smoked esc units?

vesc control with 0-5v analog input... and general motor/esc recomendation

Submitted by rcjustin on Thu, 2022-03-03 03:33

Is it possible for this software to control via an analog input instead of a pwm input? 0-5v reference signal. Not looking for complicated but this is the signal i can produce in my project. 0-2v %20 power, then a variable rate from there on increasing power to 100%. This will be a steady state application. Motor will stay on for long periods at low power then for short burst (max 10-20secs) be pushed towards full power.
