General discussion

I'm working with a Golden Motor HPM48-5000 (48 volt, 5 kW). It's an axial-flux design with 8 magnets and 24 coils. It weighs 11 kg.  I'm trying to reconcile winding resistance and inductance from several sources:

Hi Everyone,

I am using VESC6 MKV and I am using it for the position control of a SPMSM. The encoder attached to the motor is a SSI Encoder. However, the VESC supports Hall Sensors or ABI or SPI interface.
Is there any possibility that I can use, SSI encoder with the VESC board?
Or if I can use any: "Asynchronous serial, BiSS, PWM, SSI" of these with VESC?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if the standard VESC can be used for control of a linear pmsm?

I am using VESC 6 MKIV, can I use it to do position control os a linear motor?
If yes, what are the changes required?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I am using VESC tool for quite a some time now and have always done motor set up without any error. And it has always been successful.

But today, when I am doing it it is failing.

I hit the motor set up button, and at first motor alignment along the respective axis to calculate the resistance happened. Then to estimate the flux linkage, motor spins. and then when motor rotates in the forward and backward direction it did not happen. Instead, the motor draws a very heavy current and becomes very hot.

So yesterday i got on Vesc Tool and thought I had configured my set up (Ubox V2 with a flipsky vx2 remote). Unfortunately the board malfunctioned due to a stutter under load.

While trying to figure it out, I saw tutorials that recommended updating the Firmware. When I tried this I got a pop up window that said something about possibly damaging my Vecs. 

I am working on a project adding a 4th axis to a CNC mill. The CNC controller spits out a 25khz PWM signal to control the axes. This is designed to near-directly control the switching FETs driving brushed DC motors. 50% duty = stationary, <50% is one direction, >50% the other. I've fitted my 4th axis with a brushless motor and jogging it around with VESC works nice. So I want to glue these together. Wanted to solicit opinions on best way to do this.

Hi!

Can someone please explain how to spin motor reverse direction with VESCUART (SolidGeek) and NunchuckValues?
I can spin it forward but I don't understand how to spin it backwards.

Here is my Arduino example:

#include "VescUart.h"
VescUart VESCUART;

void setup() {

  Serial1.begin(115200);
  VESCUART.setSerialPort(&Serial1);

}

void loop() {

  VESCUART.nunchuck.valueY = 170;
  VESCUART.setNunchuckValues();
  delay(10000);

}

 Hello friends, I'm working on a rover project right now. I'm using VESC 4.12 ESCs in the drive system. I want to send RPM to my receiver STM32 MCU. I saw different solutions and libraries about Arduino but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about STM32. Do you have any idea about how can I get this job done? Thanks in advance.

Greetings to All,   

First time post and quite a newbie so please forgive is this is not the correct location to post.  I'm working on a project for a slow-moving "push" vehicle and have issues gettiing the motor to spin.   I've using a FSESC 4.12 ESC, BDUAV 6384 120kv motor and a 12v 20Ah SLA battery.
