Considering supply chain issues in the silicon industry in 2021.
Can we create a curated list of all the microcontroller that can be plugnplay replacement or with higher pin count ( > LQFP-64 ).
STM32F405RGT6 (Most Common)
Just hoping to get some advice on the next build I would like to do. I normally build up electric skateboards, 12S3P or 12S4P with a 6384 Brushless motor. I usually just run the VESC6 hardware controller for those configurations.
This time I would like to use a 14S2P battery in my Goped scooter. Using the same motor, 6384. Which VESC model can handle a 52V, 14S system reliably?
Thanks guys!
Hi,
I have a problem with my motor when it runs with encoder. Despite the controlled value (duty cycle, current, rpm) the motor always turns to one position and hold it. The problem is not present when I switch mode to sensorless. The encoder real-time readings seem to be fine and I have a second exactly same setup which works perfectly fine. Do you have any idea what can be wrong?
I'm using a Taranis transmitter and x8r receiver with two Mini ESC's. They were working until I updated the firmware and motor setup. The motor setup wizard worked fine but the input wizard did not work. And I haven't been able to fix it using the PPM app. The throttle has only full speed and off or it goes spastic. Thanks
PS Thanks for editing the earlier version Frank. I'd be grateful for any help.
Hello, can you help me? We bought Flipsky motor and controller. I set up the motor as it was indicated in the instructions. But when I try to start the engine at a speed of 1000 RPM, the engine turns jerkily, not smoothly. What should I do to fix this problem?
Controller is Flipsky FSESC 6.6 single.
Motor is 160KV 6355 sensored.

I want to read out some data from the VESC over the UART port, however I can't do this because it is already occupied by my receiver (which send it's commands over UART). However, I realised that the real-time streaming of data from the VESC tool still works over USB, even when the UART port is actively being used by the receiver. How does this work? Are the UART port and USB two different UARTs? Can they be used at the same time reliably?
Hi all!
I have been running my electric bicycle (48V 1000W direct drive hub motor) with Vesc 4.12 in BLDC hall sensor mode flawlessly. Recently one hall sensor broke so I thought about using sensorless FOC mode. The automatic decection works and the motor spins great without load, but under load it starts to oscillate so that my wheel and the bike starts shaking.
Do you have any tips on what to adjust in the settings, or which graph to plot to give some clues?
The detected parameters (and max-min I've got during autodetection) are:
Hi guys
I've made a dyno to test electric motors, well at the moment I'm testing the output of a converted alternator. I'm using solidgeek code with arduino on the uart port and have erpm for converting torque in to hp but would like to add watts being used so I can work out the efficiency. Any help would be much appreciated! Here's a link to my YouTube video, I've added the mechanical kw conversion to the code after this video
I am goint to build an electric Gokart with one motor for each wheel on the rear axis.
My question is: What would be the best way to get the effect of an (adjustable) limited slip differential with 2 VESC controllers? Or is "Torque Vectoring" better?
I've been having trouble with a submersible pump that we buy from China in bulk. The pumps are fine, but the BLDC controllers that they come with regularly die costing me a service call, flights, hotels, etc. Instead of doing a redesign replacing the pump, I had the idea to just replace the BLDC motor controller with something that WASN'T from China...
