General discussion

We’re controlling the VESC HD60T with PPM now.

But when running the motor, the output dips on the CAN status interval.

Setting the CAN Status 1-5 to Active on a frequency of 1Hz, we can hear and see the motors being interrupted for a short time.

It almost looks like the VESC can’t control the motor while sending the Status?

Is there a way to fix this, or prioritize the PPM before CAN?

hi guys

very frustrated with this vesc tool

cant understand why its so unfriendly

tried download 3 free different version that i found online 1.1  ,  2.1  ,  3.2  i think was not able to connect them to my flipsky fsesc 75200

claiming too old version and at the same time don't allow me to update the firm work.

the 3.2 version claim i didn't read all of the interaction? and didn't allow me to continue installing the window version on my laptop.

Hello,

Please see image below. Sensored-BLDCs for RC cars allow you to adjust/tune the hall-sensor's angle. I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction on how to calculate the sensor angles. There are some electronics/analizers that determine the Sensor's angle but I will like to do it with a VESC. 

I honestly can't find any information online on how to do it; but I've been doing some testing and I think is all about timing comparision between the commutation and phase voltage. Does anyone know if I'm on the right track? 

Hi,

Is is possible to use FOC without any braking current (like in other bldc controler)

I mean when I set braking current to 0A, engine never stops ? I do'nt understand since there is some fiction behind the motor so it cannot continue to turn without eating current !!!

Nota : My battery BMS is not reversible... how can I do ?

Ctrl : VESC 7.12 300A MAYTECH

Thanks in advance,

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

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.

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?

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.

Motor is working https://ibb.co/VCw7dpt

Throttle is working https://ibb.co/x5mZgj1

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:

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!!
