Hi,
I'm working on a project of a high speed camera sled for which I bought a Flipsky BLDC motor and the Flipsky FSESC which is based on VESC.
I'm a beginner with microcontrollers and therelike but an avid tinkerer and maker. After a thorough research phase over many months I still haven't found the right way to control the FSESC through Arduino–either via PWM or UART.
Hi all,
does anyone have a working setup or know of a working setup of an Arduino and a VESC 4.2? yes I know there are websites that detail how to do this, however, those examples either implement microcontrollers which I don't have or just doesn't have any information on how to get it working. I've found the VescUart library it doesn't seem to be working for my Arduino nano and my VESC. nothing seems to happen between them. is there anything I need to do I the vesctool settings or does this work regardless??
@Elwin and I have been using Discord to collaborate on some VESC projects. It's been a really useful tool for quick collaboration and troubleshooting, so we thought we might invite others to join us there to learn, develop, test, troubleshoot, and generally chat about how awesome VESC is.
Hello,
HI all,
I have a throttle and brake issue.
I have a thumb throttle and linear hall sensor for braking wired up to my VESC. But for some reason no matter what I try or how many times I go through the setup wizards looking for settings to change... I cant seem to solve it, so I turn to the experts.
Hi Benjamin,
What is the reasoning behind the Switching Frequency in the VESC? I notice that what you get (and therefore also hear) is actually half of the setting you put in. So putting in 30 kHz is actually 15 kHz switching of the mosfets. Is this way of defining it a standard in the space the VESC operates in? I have used various industrial motor controllers and never saw it defined like this. My proposal would be to switch it to the industry standard, such that what you set is what you get.
Kind regards,
Elwin
Hello everyone; I'm new to VESC and trying to make a wheelchair move, for some reason I have all installation good, RC control good, motors react good when no load, but once I sit in the chair and try to move it wont, I have 2 60v 1500w motors 40 poles, 2 64.5v 37.5ah batteries connected in parallel, 2 FSCESC 7550 flipsky and 2 VX1 controls, I guess mi parameters in the tool are off because I've seen setups much smaller than mine and they move quite fast, I'm more interested in torque. if anyone can help I will greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
I have two VESC 4.2 boards and two skateboard motors. I have tested both the motors with an RC Controller (FSi6/FSi6S) and they are working well on PPM (Hall sensor mode), Forward & Reverse.
How do I implement this on a robot with RC control? When I spliced the receiver to both the VESC's, as expected it works by moving both forward and reverse. However, what I need is to use the wheels on a skid steer control so that when moved sideways, one of the motor moves while other slows or halts.
Hello,
the Flipsky FSESC75200 provides two UART ports (UART1 and UART2) but only UART1 port is working.
Is it necssary to activate the UART2 port as well and how could this port activated?
Is anybody using this UART2 port on FSESC75200?
Thank you in advance

I've got a motor which I could reconfigure to have two wholly separate three-phase windings, but on the same stator lamination stack. Instead of one three-phase winding with 6 teeth pairs per phase, each pair spaced 60 degrees from its neighbors, it would become two three-phase windings with 3 pairs each, the pairs spaced 120 degrees apart.
The application is for a torque-driven propeller, so control would be purely current.
